Nativity

Michael's preschool put on a nativity presentation for all the parents and it was adorable. Michael was one of the wisemen and loved dressing up. Is there anything cuter than a child's presentation of the Nativity?

31...Really?

Can I really be 31! Time seems to slip by more quickly each year. I guess that I am now officially in my 30's. But they say the 30's are your best years...so bring it on! For my birthday, Jeremy whisked me away to Wolf Mountain for a weekend getaway. We had a great time eating, playing racquetball, and spending time together. He even took me to see Breaking Dawn...if that's not true love, I don't know what is. What a wonderful hubby! On my actual birthday, my mom, sister, and sister-in-law kidnapped me and took me shopping for my birthday while my brother and dad watched the kids. I had a blast. Thanks for spoiling me girls! Then my mom made dinner and a cake and all my family came over to celebrate. Thank you for making me feel so loved. I guess turning 31 isn't so bad and it will always be one of my favorite memories!

Thanksgiving

I love the holidays! We had a great Thanksgiving celebration at my sisters house with all of my family. I feel so blessed to have such an amazing family. We had a blast stuffing ourselves to maximum capacity, playing games, laughing, dancing, and just being together. I am so grateful for the family I was born into and also for my husbands family, and most of all for my family. I love being a mother and a wife. I have so much fun watching my kids grow and the funny things they do. It's the best part about life!
