Catching Up! It's CHRISTMAS!!!

 I've got a lot of catching up to do! I was out sick last week so it's been awhile since I've blogged!
A couple weeks ago Ryan and I went over to Granna's to help put up her Christmas tree! She fed us lunch and I put up her tree and mantle decor while Ryan tried to get into as much as he could! He had a fun time and Granna enjoyed the company! Here he is playing with her old nutcracker!

Ryan has been loving all the Christmas movies! Here he is watching Home Alone and not moving!!

That same weekend we were snow/iced in for about 4 days!!! Of course, Matt couldn't stay in so we got out a little bit each day but we were pretty much inside the house for the whole weekend! Ryan loved his first snow! But, he only wanted to be out in it for about 15 minutes!

 The week after that I hosted Bunco at my house for Tacky Christmas Bunco!! It was so much fun! I had a spread of food, drinks and treats! We all wore our tacky Christmas gear, took some fun pictures and had a great night! I'm really loving being in a Bunco group!

 Got our Christmas cards out the week we got back from Thanksgiving! Love how they turned out!

Last Sunday night was the annual Christmas dinner at church! Always so fun!

Friday we hung out at my parent's house all day! We watched Christmas movies and ate too much food! It was a great way to kick off the Christmas break!

found Emma's headbands!

Yesterday after church we took some pics by the Christmas decor with the fam!

Tonight we're doing Christmas with Sharon at her house! I think there will be a total of 16 people at her house eating and exchanging Christmas gifts! It was be so fun!

with love,

Catching Up and Thanksgiving 2013!

9 years ago on 11/19 we went on our first date!! So glad we did :) 

Oh man it's been a crazy couple of weeks! All last week we were in MS and had such an awesome time! We got the rest of our Christmas pics back and oh. my. gosh. I love them!!!

Being silly Sunday morning while Matt and I tried to get ready for church!!

Last week we had a blast in MS spending time with family!

 The day we got home from all the chaos was Aidan's 9th birthday! We met the fam for dinner to celebrate!

 We're pooped!! And so ready for Christmas! I've still got some shopping to do!!

Alzheimer's Walk

snuggles at work!

 This past week and weekend were pretty crazy! Monday was Granna's 85th birthday and Tuesday was my grandmother's 90th!

 Thursday Ryan and I ran errands all day! He was such a trooper! But by 1pm he was done for! He couldn't keep his eyes open any longer!!

Friday the girls went to Holiday House and shopping for 4 1/2 hours!!! It was so much fun! I love it!

toy ponies!

 That night we spent time with Gary since he was still down from surgery! We just hung out with the fam, played Wii and made our shirts for the Alzheimer's walk!

Saturday morning we went downtown to the Walk to End Alzheimer's! We had a lot of fun and hopefully honored Nanny (Matt's grandmother) by helping raise money for the cause!

Sunday afternoon I did a little more Christmas decorating. I got a small tree to go by our front window! I love it!

Matt's got his last fall softball game tonight, we're having more pictures taken Thursday and Monday we leave for Meridian!!! Yay!!
