Happy Birthday Denali and Rylan

December is a busy birthday month! We celebrate lots of birthdays!  This past weekend we celebrated my beautiful niece, Denali's, 10th birthday!  She sure is a special little girl.  I cannot believe that it has been 10 years since I witnessed the pure strength of my sister bringing beautiful baby Denali into this world. It was an experience that I will never forget!  

Happy Birthday Denali! We love you so much.  You are such a little helper and are becoming an amazing young woman!

While I was at work today, Bryan took the kids bowling to celebrate another birthday. Bryleigh's friend, Rylan, turned 4 today!

 The three amigos, Bryleigh, Addy, and Rylan are the best of friends at Preschool!

Poor Christian is always the only boy! 

I arrived home from work just to meet up with everyone for an early dinner!  The kids are starting to gamble early...lol

Now it is time for a movie before bedtime!  Monsters University is on the agenda for tonight! 

Christmas Day 2013

We had a leisure morning on Christmas Day. We opened Santa gifts and then slowly got ready to head to my in law's for Christmas.  We are usually more rushed on Christmas day but since we got a lot of snow on Christmas eve, Bryan needed to snow blow before we could leave. This gave the kids lots of time to play while still in their jammies!  

We made it to my in law's about 1:00 pm for more presents!  The kids sure are well loved!

As you can tell, my husband completely defied me and wore blue so that we were not coordinated! Grrr.

This is quite the picture overload but basically this sums our Christmas Day...present overload :) But it was a lot of fun to see all of our family again! I was ready for a vacation from my mini vacation, but there is no rest for the weary...it was back to work the day after Christmas!  It will be a busy next couple of weeks getting the house back in order and organized again! But we cannot thank our family enough for all the love we received this Christmas!
