Ryan's Birthday!!

We surprised Ryan by picking him up from work and taking him to Rodizio's. We met up with Ry's best friend Rick and his wife April. Rick also shares the same birthday as Ryan so we try and get together each year to celebrate! The kids really enjoyed themselves and loved the food. I was taking the kids to the restroom and before we left they came around with Sausage, Logan's favorite. So he was running the whole way, excited to get back to his food. He's so funny. We also made Ry's favorite carrot cake, but were toooooo stuffed to enjoy it. It was such a fun night!
FYI Rick and April are looking to adopt, and they are going to make the most amzing parents. So please if you know of anyone going down that route I can forward you information. They are going through LDS Family Services. Thanks!!

Christmas 2011

What a wonderful Christmas! It was going to be the first Christmas that my WHOLE family was getting together in a long,long time. It was such a great time re-uniting and playing with cousins, eating lots of good food, just hanging out! Of course we had the big family party where Santa comes, my kids were soooo excited. they were actually very patient waiting for their name to be called. It's always a blast to see all my extended family, we are getting to be a very big bunch! After Santa leaves we dress up all the kiddos and do a Nativity. We even had a real sheep too, jk it was our dog Griffin. Lots of fun! My Mom made the cutest capes for the kids. My kids LOVE them, what a great idea.
Christmas morning was a lot of fun, Logan got everything Star War's, he absolutly luv's them. And Emma everything babies!
We had such a great Christmas and we are so blessed to live close to family.
