Thanksgiving 2012
Brian and I hosted Thanksgiving at our house for the first time for my family. Our holiday was packed full of good food and lots of sweet noise from the kids! It really is something to see our families grow and we certainly have a lot to be thankful for!

Christmas 2012
This Christmas was truly something special to be a part of. Laney was filled with the Christmas spirit and she enjoyed every minute of it! We brought the tradition of Advent into our home this year. Every day Laney said, "I want to open box Mommy or Daddy." December 1st Advent sent us on an adventure to buy a real baby Christmas tree for Laney to decorate. All the other days were filled with candy, baking holiday treats, movie nights, bible reading and a few other little happies that broughts smiles. Christmas morning brought LOTS of smiles, giggles and LOTS of COOKING AND CLEANING (pictures below explain this further).

| My Dad bought these wooden mail truck coin keeper kits for his future grandkids before they were a twinkle in anyone's eyes. My wonderfully talented big brother made one for Laney! It is a special keep sake that will always bring warm memories of my Dad! I know he is so proud for his grandkids to finally enjoy them. |
