Christmas Happenings

We had an awesome Christmas week. On Christmas Eve we went to our friend's, the Goates, for dinner. There was great food. The kids played and the adults visited. It was so fun.

While we were gone, the Elves had dropped off our new Christmas Eve pajamas.

Christmas morning was very fun! Hayden was so excited to open presents. She loved unwrapping them. Then she wanted them completely unpackaged right then so she could play with it. She would play with that toy until it was her turn again. It was so fun watching her excitement! Later in the day we went to my Bro's house and had dinner and played Mexican Train.

The day after Christmas we went to the Kohl's Children's Museum with our friends, the McMillans. They have a daughter Hayden's age and they both had so much fun. After about 1 1/2 hours we were all exhausted and starving, but it was such a fun day.

Ryan had the whole week off so we really enjoyed being together. It was such an awesome Christmas and I realized again how blessed our little family is.

I hope you all had a great Christmas and enjoy the beginning of 2009!

Happy Anniversary!

Ryan had to go to China again. He left on the 6th and just got home last night. So, I've been without a computer for a while. We're so glad to have Ryan home. I'm starting to get bugged by the frequency of his trips. It's job security though, right? That's what I keep telling myself at least.

Today is our anniversary. We have been married for 4 years. It seems so crazy that it's been that long. They've been 4 great years. We've had a lot of fun and enjoyed so much together and are still excited to be together forever!

We got married at 8 in the morning in the middle of December. It was so incredibly cold. My nose is red in every picture and we just look cold. So sad. But here are a couple pictures from that day

Happy Belated Thanksgiving

This post is a little late but we had such a great Thanksgiving and have so so so much to be grateful for. Ryan's sister Camille came to visit and we ate at my Bro's house. I cooked the turkey for the first time this year. It turned out okay but my gravy was not so good. Sorry guys.It was a fun day full of food, games and watching "Hancock."

I love holidays. It is so great to just relax. I just realized that Hayden isn't in any of the pictures I took. She was there, I promise.

We went out shopping on Black Friday. We're not really dedicated shoppers, though. We left the house about 8 so we still got to sleep in a bit.

Hayden had a great time with Camille here. She loves all of the extra attention and did her best to keep Camille busy.

We hope you all had an awesome Thanksgiving too!
