I am taking a photography class that focuses on taking pictures of people. So, my poor friends and family are having the camera pointed at them so I can fulfill my class assignments. Today Meggie and I headed out to one of the local parks so she should could be my model.
Thanks Meggie! One day I will re-pay you!
Saturday morning we headed out for breakfast at my favorite breakfast spot, Sweet Melissa's. After breakfast the girls ran around the square and let me take a few pictures of them. 
Ellie getting ready for her breakfast. She started out with three small containers of jelly before her biscuit arrived.
Meggie started of the meal by snacking on some Cheerios. Yummy!
Then she decided to move onto a straw.
Chris likes to scare me to death by throwing her up in the air. Obviously, she has no issue with it! At least it makes for a fun picture!
Ellie just being Ellie. Falling down and hamming it up for the camera! Notice the blackberry jam on her clothes!
After our fun morning on the square Ellie's friend had a birthday party. Here is Ellie and another friend Allie being silly with Allie's mom.
Before we left for Missouri Uncle Drew came over and we celebrated Christmas with him. We opened gifts from Grandma Judy and Grandpa Steve, we all had a great time!
I think I almost blinded Ellie with my flash. Sorry honey!

Thanks for all of the great gifts Grandma Judy and Grandpa Steve! They were all great!
