Happy Anniversary Dear!!

Its hard to believe we've been married 14 years already.

We've been so blessed - I'm glad I get to share all of this with you!

To celebrate we had cake (Brodyn loved the frosting), Ryan cleaned out

the fridge for me (isn't he awesome?!), and then we made 3 batches

of raspberry jam to share with our neighbors and some to enjoy for us too :)

Santa!?!

These are the Santa shots we got at the church party last week. They were excited to get to see Santa this year (as you see, Brodyn is the exception), but unfortunately Santa had to compete with a visit from Grandma & Paka, and even Santa doesn't hold up in our kid's eyes!!

We made sure to get in lots of cuddles and loves that only Grandma and Grandpa can give. They even got to open a present each. The girls got beautiful Christmas dresses and Brodyn got a John Deere trike that he got to help Grandpa put together. You can tell that your kids have awesome grandparents when they cherish your children and make them all feel special and loved. The kids were in 7th heaven, thanks Mom & Dad - We Love You!

Christmas catch up

I can't believe how fast this month is racing by me! I haven't posted for awhile, so I thought I would share some pages from my Christmas scrapbook to catch up a little. Of course I'm behind on my scrapbook as well, but that I'm going to blame on the sicknesses we've been trading around in our house the past two weeks.

1st day

On the 1st day of Christmas we cut our Christmas tree!

I can't believe it's December!

I finally got my 25 Days of Christmas album outline done last night, so I'm up and running with my Christmas scrapbooking project

(I'll post some pics later).

This is today's picture. We went up on the mountain to cut our

Christmas tree.

All the off-roads were blocked with snow, so we had a harder time finding a tree than usual, but the girls had a lot of fun with Ryan and it was just nice to be together and get away.
