Michigan Girls

Grandma Liz and Her Bumble Bee

Cousins Isabelle and Sarah like to pretend that Elena is their doll to dress-up and carry around. They put her in about 20 costumes before deciding she should be a bumble bee for the rest of the day. All the pampering rubbed off- Elena put on lip gloss in this photo while Grandma Liz is giving her a quick hug.

The Girls In Grandma's Kitchen

Ellie, Molly, Isabelle and Elena lined up in Grandma Liz's kitchen for a photo before we left town on Sunday. Isabelle acts like a little mother towards her younger cousins. The girls all love spending time with her.

Dinner Time with the Girls

Dinner at Aunt Terry's house is always a bit crazy with 20+ family members in the kitchen eating at the same time. For this meal, Elena sat in between cousins Molly and Ellie. The girls encouraged her to "take a one more bite" and "eat just like Ellie" so they could get back to playing. The girls were much more successful in getting Elena to eat than we usually are!
