We Had Ourselves a Merry Little Christmas!

We've been busy cutting down our tree in six degree weather (Lu on a sled because she sprained her foot jumping off the bunk bed ladder), taking Nan to the Nutcracker, visiting Santa, making our gingerbread house, attending the live Nativity, going to church, going to parties, getting over strep throat, making lots of goodies, hosting our annual christmas eve pizza and pajama party, retelling the story of the nativity, and remembering how blessed we are. Grandma Etta spoiled us all rotten with the best presents, her presence, and even a Christmas dinner- we love you Gramma Etta! Here's the proof of all our fun:





























Hope you enjoy the pix and update. We had a great 2009 and expect 2010 to be even better. Thanks to all of you who spoiled our kids and also to those of you faithful christmas card senders- we love hearing from you. It is getting cold, but no one seems to mind around here since the Broncos won on Monday night. Crazy people. Hope you are all well. Keep in touch. xoxo- the Littles

A Bounty of Blessings (and Birthdays)!

It has been an eventful November. Lucy turned 3, Grandma Etta turned 29 (again), Jake turned 7, and Little B turned 1! That is a lot of cake! We had a nice and relaxing Thanksgiving at Shan and Dan's home. Danny's aunt and uncle came from Oregon and of course Grandma Etta joined in the festivities. Clara wasn't too sure about sharing Grandma with Little B, but it all worked out once she saw all of Brooklyn's toys. Shan hosted a fabulous dinner- thanks guys, it was the best! We hope all of you found your hearts and tables full at this great time of year. We are so blessed- to live in the US, to have the Gospel, and to share our lives with great people like you. Happy Holidays! We'll post more soon. -Steph Two Little Turkeys!
