Elliana's first Christmas.



Jess made a special gift for Elliana for her first Christmas. When Jess was a baby, her Aunt Jo made her a rag doll named "Hoddy." This doll was very special to Jess and she wanted to make a replica for Elliana. We really enjoyed this video of her opening the doll.

Christmas at Debbi and Kenny's house was "wonder-full". We are looking forward to tomorrow when grandma and grandpa Hoffman come out to see us. (More pictures to come then!!!)

With love,
Matt & Jess

Farewell Party at Jennifer & Stephen Carters



We felt so loved by everyone at Jennifer & Stephen's sending party. We consider ourselves blessed to be a part of a wonderful group. I know we'll be back for a visit before too long.

Thanks again to everyone who made this night so special for us!
