Ellie's first photo shoot.................................

The hospital always takes pictures of your newborn.....After she left we decided to snap a few with our camera....They turned out so cute.....

Introducing....................Ellie LeAnn Ferrin

Our sweet baby girl Arrived Tuesday December 15th at 3:39 p.m. Many of you know how hard it was for us to come up with a name for this baby......I wanted to do Kennedy all along, but as it got closer and closer it just didn't seem to fit with my other kids names. About an hour before having her we were online looking at 2 syllable girl names.....Ellie had always been a favorite of ours and it just seemed to really fit. So went with it. I wanted to spell it Ellee but after spelling Anney's different, I didn't want to do it again. Anney has her name spelled wrong all the time. The funny thing is we knew from the day we found out we were pregnant that if it was a girl we were going to have her middle name be LeAnn after my Aunt LeAnn. Both Randy and I look up to admire her for so many reasons we both felt we wanted to name our baby girl after her. We are so lucky to have LeAnn in our life and we feel so honored to name our sweet baby after her. We couldn't be more happier and feel more blessed at this time. Both randy and I couldn't ask for a more special Christmas Gift. The Kids are truly in love with her....their favorite thing to do is just sit and stare at her as she is in the swing or laying on the couch. Everything went perfect for the delivery and recovery and we are all home trying to adjust to having a newborn again.....here are a few pictures from the first couple hours of her life.


We had the best nurse ever...her name was Tara and she was so cute and sweet. She really made Ellie some cute "girlie girl" things and she was so great taking care of me also. In this picture she is getting Ellie's footprints....So sweet!

First pictures of those sweet feet.

Tara took the original Baby hat they give you in the hospital and added a cute bow....Both Rand and I LOVED it!

On my way up to my room........

Ferrin Family Christmas Party

Every Year Randy's extended side of the family has a Christmas party. This party is at his Aunt and Uncle's home...(the Phelps). Everyone loves it and looks forward to it every year. We have goodies, a talent show, and everyone just hangs out and plays and visits.


Megan and Anney love the swing and even love it more when Randy pushes them.

This little train was a huge hit....Kyle pulled the kids around the backyard the whole time. Anney LOVED it!

One of Randy's cousins husband ties balloons....The kids LOVED him. Taylor is sporting her new hat!

Ashlee's sweet sixteenth birthday was this day...Of course we had to embarrass her by singing to her......She was not happy with us!

Megan with another hat creation!

Chloe and Anney....best of friends!

breakfast with Santa......

This morning we had our ward breakfast with Santa. The kids each got a turn sitting on his lap and telling him what they wanted....I love to listen to there requests cause they always end up being something I've NEVER heard them talk about or something that is completely impossible or totally unrealistic!

Taylor said she wanted Jewelry....Easy!!!!

I love this picture.....Megan told him she wanted a baby swing( after all she is obsessed with all baby products and actually PICKED out our baby swing...(more on that story later!) When we got in the car to leave she said....mom I told Santa I wanted a baby swing but he thought I just meant baby...can you run back in and tell him I want a baby swing or maybe just tell him a cash register, that would be way easier! She is so cute!

Anney did NOT want to sit on his lap until she saw the big bag of candy canes and then she was TOTALLY all about sitting on his lap...She made it very clear that she wants a baby!

According to Travis is is WAY TOO old to sit on Santa's lap! He told him he wanted a football.....totally something I've never heard him say he wanted!

Megan's First LOST tooth!

About two weeks ago Megan was SO excited that finally she had a loose tooth! Thanksgiving it was really wobbly.....We stopped at Randy's brothers home that night and she was upstairs playing and she came down stairs and said mom I LOST my tooth and I LOST it and can't find it! We all cracked up! She was so excited to come right home and write the tooth fairy a letter and put it under her pillow...thanks goodness the tooth fairy came through that night and brought her two dollars! She was so excited when she woke up!

Thanksgiving....warning picture OVERLOAD!

Happy Thanksgiving! Randy started the morning off with the Turkey TROT! This year he ran the 10k in 55 minutes....5minutes faster then last year! Great JOb BABE! This year like EVERY year we have our 2 Turkey dinners! We go to Randy's aunts house at 1 and then my parents around 3.....The kids LOVE it......and Randy and I eat SO dang much that we are stuffed! It was great to see everyone and we both are so lucky to have such incredible families and extended families. We truly are blessed!
