Happy New Year!

I just want to say that we had a wonderful Christmas with our family. The kids all enjoyed the present that they received. We were home for Sydney to open her gifts from Santa and than we went to Jared and Alisa's to see what the other kids received form Santa. This is something that we started last year...to go to their homes in the morning to see what they got and visit for a while. I have really enjoyed it! It seams to be a lot nicer to have them in their own place and play with all the things that they got and have them show us. We had our family dinner at our home Christmas night and this year we tried a new game called the "present pass". It was really fun! We enjoyed turkey dinner. I am so thankful for this time of year and our family, all the kids and the love we have for each other and the blessings that our Heavenly Father has given us once again this year. I hope that you all have a good New Year.

6 More Days!

I can't believe that their is only 6 more days until Christmas...we have been crazy around here. Today the frig, stove, microwave and the dishwasher are on their way to our new home in the basement. Okay Jake and Marissa's new home. We have picked out everything that their is to pick out and now we are just waiting for it all to arrive. The trim is almost done and it looks so good. I am excited for Christmas and having everyone home...that is my favorite part when we are all together. I hope you all will enjoy your weekend and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Christmas is Coming!

Well November whizzed by and now here we are into December. We had a fun Thanksgiving with all the kids...Ivy came and sleep over with Sydney on Wed. and they all come for dinner on Thursday. We all enjoyed the good food and we took some pictures of the crew that were cute. I just have to say that they are growing up and they are at really fun ages now...they all have their own personality that are adorable. They make my heart happy! The basement is coming a long...we are down to the counter tops will come the first of the week and we need to finish the bathrooms, get the base boards on and the carpet!!! YEAH! It looks so wonderful and Jake, Marissa and Sydney are getting excited too. Life is wonderful and this is the best time of year...enjoy your families.
