Wearing-O-the-Green

Ever year (with few exceptions) since Ryan and I were engaged we have a special St. Patricks Day date. We grab friends, go to Savers, buy our spouse something "special," and then we go to dinner. This year we decided to do it as a family. Amy and I found Dad a green bathrobe and Jayson a green shirt. Dad found Mom a "Cameroon" soccer shirt and Amy a "John Deer" shirt. We went to DQ for icecream afterwards. It was a fun family night.

Happy Valentines Day!

Listen to "Cupid." We had a great Valentine's Day. Jayson and Amy got mylar balloons, some new books, and lots of candy. Ryan brought home a lot of candy from school and Grandma Annie sent some too. The kids were in hog heaven. There's almost as much candy as at Halloween. We took the kids to "Jumpin'" to wear them out. Ryan took me out to dinner and a movie for my birthday. He also got me some new PJs, a book and a movie. It was a fun day. We're so lucky to be a family and have a special day to show extra love.

A Christmas morning surprise!

Christmas at Grandma Rhonda's!

Listen to "Christmas Bells" for the Christmas blogs. It makes us smile. We had "real" Christmas morning at Grandma Rhonda's. More toys and books and fun cousins. Amy and Elsie were inseperable. They're so cute. I made more "ho-ho" pants for my family again.

Christmas at Grandma Annie's!

We had a special Christmas at Grandma Annie's before Christmas day. The kids got cute Christmas P'Jees from Aunt Emily and some great new toys too. We had so much fun.
