Merry Christmas

We tagged our tree back in October and went back to cut it down not anticipating the 2" growth from all the rain...so needless to say it was a BIG one! 😝

Morgan completed her first semester of college and we were literally counting down the days until break when she got to come home and stay...we miss her in all the little daily things that go on around our home. 

Dan & I got to have a fun date night at a work party....

Every Christmas break since the girls were very little, we have gone up to Big Bear to a BBQ spot for dinner and then walk to a coffee house we love. We have friends who live up there who we stop and visit as well. Something simple but something we love to take the time to do together. 

We baked a lot! Like a lot a lot! Which I love! 

Dan's aunt hosted the cousins' party and even though we missed his uncle so much, it was good to be back at the house and with all the family together.

More baking....

No Ryanne isn't mad at me ha! She said "Mom! I had a cookie in my mouth!"


We had a really cold wet storm on Christmas morning which called for a hot chocolate bar of course

Every year since the girls were about 2 years old, I have made a memory book for them to open and read and look at the pictures from our year together. 

I surprised Dan & the girls and did a waffle bar for Christmas morning. Both of our moms were with us early to eat and exchange gifts and enjoy the rain....

We spent the 26th down in San Diego with Dan's brother and sister and their families. The kids are all getting so big. Fun watching them grow up. 

Then at 4am on the 27th I drove Morgan and some other college kids to LAX and they headed to St. Louis for a missions/ministry conference. We will miss ringing in the new year with her but watching her chase after what God has for her is a sweet time. Praying you all have a blessed New Year.
