Every year we get together with Dan's cousin's and their kiddos and have lunch, play games etc. This year Dan's sister in San Diego hosted and it was fun as usual. We line the generations up by height to see how everyone has grown. The twins are missing cause they were D-O-N-E and ready for bed. :)
This is funny cause Dan and I will always be at opposite ends of the line. I am pretty sure his sister is eye balling me in this photo. AWKWARD! :)
Our house on Christmas day was super fun. Even my nephew made it in from Indianapolis despite the crazy weather.
The kids were ready for dinner. Everything turned out delicious. Thank you everyone for your help. :)
My dad, Morgan and Blake.
I am pretty sure Graph has no idea what she will do with all the warm sweaters, hats, gloves and scarves she got for Christmas when she returns home but I keep telling her they will get plenty of use while she is here. Hence the 30 degrees we woke up to this morning. :)
Lots of Star Wars toys to go around. Gotta love our sweet Morgan!
Dan surprised me with this AWESOME bike that I saw at the bike store like back in July!! He had his mom video tape me when he brought it out. He thought I would jump up and down screaming but instead I started to cry and then he started to cry and everyone else thought we were crazy. Truth be told the tears were for many reasons. One, I am a big kid at heart and I realized in that moment that my husband gets that about me and cherishes that about me. The second reason is that I am healthy enough to ride bikes when less than two years ago I was to weak to walk around the mall or hardly dress myself on some days. It was just my cup overflowing. It's funny cause you know how on Christmas morning you can look out the window and see kids playing with their new skateboards, riding there new bikes or playing with their new soccer balls? Ya' I was the only adult tearing around the neighborhood on her new bright orange bike. YES!!!!
The girls
Hope everyone had a blessed Christmas season with their families and friends. Happy New Year fellow bloggers!

Several things! First off Merry Christmas and of course Happy New year! Secondly, I believe his sister was eyeballing you too. Finally, I cried when I saw the bike too! Yeah! I am so glad to hear you can go out and enjoy that wonderful part of your nature again! Enjoy and come ride with me at the Beach sometime. :)
Awe that brought tears to my eyes. So sweet. I love that you're happy and healthy and out riding a bright orange bike ;).
And btw, you and Ryanne will probably always be at the front of those lines.
What a sweet, sweet hubby and a sweet, sweet story!
I've been terrible about checking out the blogs and creating my own... but what a precious surprise when I opened up your newest. Happy New Year dear friend! And it looks like a wonderfully blessed Christmas you had with your loved ones! You are a treasure!
I am so happy for you and your new bike! I do pray that you are still riding around your neighborhood with a big grin on your face! :-) It sounds like that gift was so meaningful - a true display of the victory God has brought to your life... I love that your Happy Hubby expressed his love for you in that way too! A treasure to be supported by your best friend! Your Home is Happy, indeed!
