Valentines Day

This year, in honor of our upcoming trip to Italy,

we celebrated Lovers Day with an authentic Italian dinner.

Thanks to our chef, Roberto, and his lovely wife

 for every perfect bite.

And thanks to our friends who made it a night to remember.

We had such a good time making Emma's Valentines Day box.
He loves me/He loves me not theme is adorable.

Definitely love her!

Happy Birthday Grandpa!!

Happy Birthday "BIG BOSS"!

We love you so much we had a birthday party for you at our house!

Your cake was delish!

Christmas

Grandkids with Great Grandma Wood on Christmas Eve.

Luminaries to send our praises Heavenward.

A Christmas Eve Nativity story.

Christmas Eve PJ's complete with Oobies and headlamps!

Christmas morning was a very Snuggy Christmas!

We Wii'd it up with Just Dance until we were all danced out!

 And a rousing Ping Pong Tournament!

Sadly...I was the first to be eliminated - WHAT?!

Guess we're buying a table so I can get ready for next year!

Recently...

Did I learn about ecosystems in 3rd grade?

If I did - it certainly wasn't as memorable. After FHE, Abbie read us this sweet little note.

" I love you all. You are the best family I could ever have.

I would never not love you. You guys are the best."

Thanks Abbie. We love you too.

Happy Halloween

Our little characters have been delighted

with this year's costuming frenzy.

Their tag lines have been ringing through the house -

"Off with her head!" - Emma

"I'm looking for a white rabbit." - Abbie

"To infinity and beyond!" - Dallin

And William just looks so darn cute!

Happy Halloween!
