Family Times

Last weekend we were able to spend some time with my extended family. We had gone up to my parent's house so that Michael could be the photographer for my friend Sara's wedding. We stayed a couple days extra. Time with family is always time well spent! It was our Aunt Juanita's birthday so we all got together to celebrate. I am so glad Elena is growing up being surrounded by wonderful families on both sides. The pictures speak for themselves so I'll leave you with those...

With her GREAT Aunt Ruth

It's a party!

With the birthday girl

Grandma is always happy to have Elena around

Elena is so privileged to have THREE sets of Great-Grandparents that can love on her. Here she is with her Great Grandpa and Grandma Koop. I absolutely love these pictures!

What a blessing to have such a loving and God-loving family! Elena is surely loved and blessed so much already! Well, how can we help it when she is such a blessing to everyone else? I enjoyed looking at the pictures, especially the ones with the great grands:)
