Ellie's adoption

On November 19th we made a quick trip down to Roseville to celebrate our niece Elizabeth's adoption. We were so glad that the adoption was final after almost 2 years of prayer, waiting and bureaucracy. Congratulations Ellie and the whole Dane Brooks family.

Naomi had fun watching her cousins play and playing a little bit herself but you could tell she wasn't quite sure how to fit into the chaos, being used to playing by herself or with a grown up. Here are a few pictures.
