Pampering Grandma

We were so blessed to have both Grandparents at our house on Christmas Eve!

Christmas Eve

We were so blessed this past year and we had such a fun Christmas. We played lots of games and spent alot of time together (my favorite thing) The kids are at such fun ages. I wish I could just freeze them at these ages right now! My parents stayed at our house this year and it was so fun to have them with us for 5 days straight. Dave's parents came out and had dinner Christmas Eve and came back the next morning to watch the kids open presents we started at 5:30 am!

Thanksgiving

WHEN I COUNT MY BLESSINGS I COUNT THEM TWICE!!!

I am so grateful this Thanksgiving for a wonderful husband and kids my Heavenly Father has blessed me with. It was such a wonderful day - we spent the whole day with my family, so fun to have such a big family. I am so blessed.

The end of Football Season

I love these moments!

I love when you catch a moment like this. I looked out the window and saw these two jumping together holding onto each other. They were having such a great time and getting along (which doesn't always happen). I hope my girls are as good of friends when they are grown up as I am with my sisters. They are truly my best friends.
