"Firsts" for Elisa

Well, it has been a while. For all you faithful Elisa followers - sorry! We were in the states for 3 weeks during November and have been back home in Brazil for a week. It has taken a while to get ourselves back on track, but here we are.

This trip to the states was a huge compilation of "firsts" for Elisa. It was a pretty eventful journey for her. Below, you can check out pictures of most of the "firsts" she experienced while in the states. The ones I don't really have pictures for still deserve quite a bit of recognition. They are: Elisa's first international trip/plane ride (the actual flying part), Elisa's first experience eating rice cereal (don't worry, I have it on video), Elisa's first Thanksgiving (she slept through it!) and Elisa's first roll-over (it happened so fast we weren't prepared to take a picture!).

Now on to the "firsts" that were documented!

Elisa's first snow (it wasn't much, but it worked!)

Elisa's first Bible class!

She was a wonderful student!

Elisa's first bite of sweet potato pie!
She wasn't too sure about it!

This is the first meeting between Elisa and her younger cousin Dayton.
It took a couple of days, but they became quite fond of each other.

Elisa's first story time with her Grandmommie!

Elisa's first story time with her Granddaddy!
She loves story time!
