Christmas Eve and Morning 09'

Christmas Eve

I remember when I was younger the tradition of reading the story of Christ's birth in Luke Ch. 2 seemed so long before we could open our gift....looks like Drew is having that same problem!

Brooklynne listening to RB read.

I could not resist these little elephant PJs for Dane. Since he is not here to open them yet...I gave them to Brad!

Kelson's Christmas Party

 Our good friends Kyle and Malaena hosted a Christmas party this year and it was so much fun! It was suppose to be a tacky Christmas sweater party, however, we all had a hard time finding one......other than Deen. Leave it up to her mom DeeAnn to pull through! Loved it Deen!

Malaena and I

Look at that belly! (29 weeks)

Maybe the reason why my back is KILLING me!

Crystal, Bren and Heidi

Friends!

Over the Thanksgiving break I got together with some of my favorite people. As we were out to lunch Steph told us she was pregnant! How FUN! Deen, Steph and I have been best friends since we were very young. All of our moms were friends when they were pregnant.....and now the three of us are following in their footsteps! How fitting. Love you guys!

Bren: due March 6, 2010 (Boy)

Deen: due May 5, 2010 (Boy)

Steph: due June 2010 (Come on Steph don't let us down......Boy....We hope! :)

Happy Birthday to my Best Friend and Hero!

HAHA I thought this was kind of funny!
One of the most fun family vacations! 

I love you so much mom and can't even begin to tell you how much I admire you and the woman you are. I feel so blessed to have you not only be my mom but one of my very best friends! I can only pray for the strength you possess. I love you and think you should go buy something great for yourself in FIJI! Happy Birthday! We have quite a few shopping trips to catch up on when you get back! I CAN'T WAIT!!!!
