Oh...to be this Happy and Excited

Just a noramal day after eating lunch with Laney.


Caleb opening his "Handy Manny" present.

How we spent our Christmas Break

The first week of our Christmas break went by super fast. We had to buy the rest of our presents for all our parties, prepare food, and get ready for Jeff to leave for 6 days.

So...first things first

Hanging the ornaments on the Christmas tree
Unwrapping presnts
Driving the Cozy Coupe Caleb's always wanted
Eating.........and rubbing it in our hair
Playing in the snow
Making Cookies
Hanging out with buddies Owen and Cousin James
Dressing up with Sunglasses

And...more Sunglasses

And...more eating
We had fun.......but SO glad Daddy's home from Arizona!

College Roommates!

Over Christmas break I got to get together with some of my college roommates. A lot has happened in the last year with these girls.....including 4 more kids in 2009, teaching English in Afghanistan, and so much more.

Around the Table: Jill, Me, Sarah (Beamer) with Olivia (2mo), Suzanne with Jadyn (8mo), Sara, and Julie with newly adopted Elijah (2mo)

Here's Erin (Burg) our PT at your local YMCA in Grandville, Lisa our Afghanistan English teacher and soon to be student in Australia, Sarah our stay at home mother of two girls 14 months apart, and Me.
