Baby Ellie!

My cousin just had a new baby girl! I couldn’t be happier. Her name is Eleanor. Her hair couldn’t be redder then a rose and her eyes couldn’t be browner then a brownie. She was born in the middle of a blizzard and it couldn’t have been colder then if we were to go to Alaska. It was the biggest blizzard in 2010. After I found out I drove down to Washington, DC. The trip couldn’t have been longer than if we drove to California. We hit so much traffic. My Mom and I couldn’t have been tireder. It took us 7 hours, when it usually takes us 5 hours. When we arrived we had to sleep in a hotel which couldn’t have been nicer. The pool was larger then any pool I had ever seen. The room was more colorful then any other room I had seen. My family and I ate dinner together and the dinner was better than a personal chef. We had much fun together and we are all very excited we have a new family member.
