Ellie met her Nana and her Auntie Meggan when she was very young.  The remaining 16 people in my family were still strangers to her so it was so fun to have Ellie meet my side of the family!  You already saw and heard Ellie with her fan club.  Now you can see her with the rest of my family!  (Except for, sadly, Chris and Katie – they were fairly sick while we were in AK so we only saw them a few times and didn’t manage to get any pictures taken with them.  We’ll make sure to fix that problem this summer!)

Uncle Jon was contemplating the glory of holding his niece.

Ellie was clearly thrilled to be sitting on Uncle Eric’s lap.

with Grandpa!

Nana gave all the cousins pajamas for Christmas so here they are modeling them!  Ellie was clearly oblivious to the fun and excitement swirling around her.  (And you may think that 9 cousins is a lot but since this picture was taken, Ellie now has two more little girl cousins to play with!!)  (I also like the guitar strap, trinket keeper, and owl pillows in this picture!)

Getting some love from Cousin Jonas
