The three Ellis boys




We all got together for Christmas at Derrick's house and it was fun to put the three newest Ellis grandsons together. Berny Lance Marquez is on the left, Jared Alexander Green is in the middle, and Tristan Ellis is on the right. Aren't they cute!!!

The Green Boys





I thought you all might like to see some pictures of our newest addition. We are having a lot of fun with Jared. He is a very good baby. His big brothers love him to pieces, sometimes a little too much.
