We spent Christmas Eve at Richard and Stephanie's it was great to have a casual night. It was Pj's and pizza with the family. We acted out the nativity story and talked for a little while. It started snowing that night which was exciting because we were guaranteed a white Christmas! This Christmas Eve we got to bring, Nana Maria and Grandpa Karl it was a treat for us, fun to have family around for the holidays.

Christmas Cookies

Some of the girls got together at Jenny's new house to bake cookies and treats for the holidays. We had a good time talking and baking. After everyone finished there treats, they were divided up and shared with everyone. It was a great way to get a good variety of treats and not have to bake them all yourself.

We Finally got out!

So Nana Maria came into town late Thursday night the 18th and Friday night we got invited to go bowling she did not want to go so we volunteered her to babysit Brooklyn and Garrett. We had dinner at home first and went back and forth with Matt and Marin if we were going to go and finally decided we would for a few hours. We were glad we decided to go, it turned out to be really fun. Nana was excited to babysit and they were both angels, they slept the whole time. It was cosmic bowling night which made it funner. I sucked so bad, it was pathetic. Danny and Marin were the bowling champs, they showed everybody up.

Typical work day for Danny, Brooklyn on his lap either on the phone & designing on the computer!

Why are you taking pictures of us! Brooklyn with her friend Garrett, they are about 3 months apart

They still think I am crazy for taking pictures of them. One day I will get a picture of Garrett smiling and you will fall in love with his smile like I do!

We have been very fortunate to have found a great place to rent and having great neighbors that have become good friends of ours. We have meet several other couples through them and we all have a good time together. Last Sunday Marin and Matt brought over dinner, which is always great to not have to cook and spend time with friends. It is fun to watch there baby grow up and learn things about ours and what we have to look forward to.
