Happy Monday!

I Wanna Be...

Pretty in Pink! Too cute. With a few (dozen) little adjustments I could totally rock this dress. This frock reminds me that I am ready for spring, who is with me?

Blessed.

What a blessing is to have had him here.

Summer Time Blues

My Tia (aunt) just sent me these pictures of their New Years in Santos, Sao Paulo, Brasil. I got to be there one year and thinking about it makes me desperate for warm weather.

Sigh.

Celebrate Good Times!

2008 has already been a busy year for us. We recently celebrated Will's 3? Birthday and Jen's (soon to be born) baby girl.

Jen's Baby Shower!

We played a fun game with melted chocolate bars in diapers - Yes, you can imagine what that might resemble. We had to try to guess what candy bar was in each diaper. I should add that I won - I don't know much about changing diapers but I do know my chocolate!!!

The diapers....

I love this girl!

Christmas and New Years

Our friends Natalie and Sam had a few people over for New Years Eve. They had the tastiest pizza bar ever! We rang the new year in with lots of food, games, and of course sparkling cider.

Christmas - that almost seems so long ago! =) It was a wonderful day full of kids, food, and rest...

This is how Danny and I spent our day...

We hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday Season!

Scottish Santa

My niece and nephew spent Christmas in Scotland this year - that's where my sister-in-law Katy is from. I am glad that the Scottish Santa looks the same as the American one! Are they not the cutest kids around!? I just had to share!

Celtic Santa, Aidan, & Lily

Christmas is (almost) here!

Traditions are the best! This weekend Danny and I were able to participate in family traditions that we enjoyed growing up.

My Family Tradition - The Washington DC Temple Lights

We usually go on Christmas Eve but this year we went a day early. We are sure glad we did because it was not too cold out and the musical performance was excellent! We were also lucky to have not only my side of the family join us but also Danny's sister's family too.

Danny's Family Tradition - Gingerbread Cooking Making

We joined Danny's sisters family in Baltimore in this fun tradition. I think Danny and I will definitely carry on this tradition with our family!
