Christmas

Another wonderful Christmas! We spent Christmas Eve with my family and Christmas morning with Eric's family and feel so lucky to live by our families.

Our little family on Christmas Eve

Hunter and I

Silly boys!

My sisters and I

Steve and Eric got 4th row tickets to the Lakers/Celtics Basketball game

Can you see the pure joy on their faces

Can we open presents yet?!?

I only wish that a 7 dollar toy could bring joy forever

Away in a Manger

Its no secret that me boys love to dress up in different costumes and this time it was the nativity scene characters. They enlisted me to be Mary for lack of other females in our house. They make Christmas so special!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

I haven't gotten around to doing Christmas cards yet, so I think I am just going to take the year off. But we wanted to wish all of you loved ones a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Thanksgiving

I have so much to be thankful for this year, particularly my 3 boys. They are my world!! I am also thankful that we could travel to my sister's house in Arizona for Thanksgiving. We had such a fun and relaxing time.

Here is us on Thanksgiving with very full bellies. Great cooking Laurie!!

We also got to go to the Wildlife Zoo in Arizona. It is 6 miles from my sister's house, so you can't beat the travel time. It was also the most family friendly zoo I have ever been too. We had a great time and was one of the highlights of our trip.

You could get really close to the animals at the zoo. Here is my niece Hannah hanging out with the Swans. So neat!!

Here is our whole gang trying to get up close to the Giraffes.

Trevor feeding a Giraffe.Eric and Hunter feeding a Giraffe. So cool!!
We had such a good time at the zoo we decided to be monkeys and stay.
