In memory of "Elsie the Great"

Ben's grandmother, Elsie, passed away on Tuesday, March 25th. We made the trip to Pennsylvania last week to attend her funeral and spend some time with family. Ben was able to participate in the funeral and share some wonderful memories of her. We were sad to see her go, but the whole family was happy that she did not suffer. Grandma Elsie ("Elsie the Great" to Karis) made these dolls when Ben's dad was a child. Now Karis has inherited them. They will be put up on a shelf until she is old enough to understand their value.
While we were in Pennsylvania, Karis was able to spend time with all 5 of her cousins. She especially enjoyed the sleepover at "the boys" house along with a ride on the kid-size four wheeler at her grandparents. She enjoyed spinning out on the driveway and running behind as the boys zoomed up the hill.
