Merry Christmas!

Our Christmas was amazing! We talked to Brooke for almost 2 hours. It was so hard to say good bye.

She is doing great and her Spanish is amazing. She has a little accet when speaking in English and she says it is hard to translate back to English and had a hard time at first. All is well in Nica. Muy Caliente!

Happy 21 Years

Now everyone knows that marriage is a lot of work and that you constantly need to be thinking about your better half more than yourself. Serve them, love them and serve them some more...It is so great that we have the knowledge that it is totally worth it to fight to stay together and to be strong because we have the same goal of living together with God as families for eternity. 

Happy Anniversary to someone who knows me better than I know myself sometimes and still loves me. It is totally worth it to do the work and reap the rewards. It is so nice to be able to see and be in total awe of all our hard work and dedication together. I always wonder what great things will happen next.  I look forward to the joy we will continue to generate together and the awesome experiences we will continue to share. Love the sweaters...

I found some fun pictures...

Blast to the Past

Bennett or Lottie?

Oscar

10 years in NH...Live Nativity with Fam

For the past 10 years we have celebrated  Christmas over Skype and FaceTime with all of you and the kids look forward to acting out the nativity every year. When asked what their favorite memories and traditions of Christmas are they always talk about the nativity with their cousins over Skype. Thank you for making our Christmas memorable. 

Look at this really happy girl.

Ginger and Sam and kids sent us a gift card to eat at our favorite restaurant...Longhorn and we plan to take the kids this week we have off.

What a great time that we have each year to share with all of you and wonderful memories we will always cherish. Thank you for putting up with craziness to include us. You have no idea how much you all mean to us.

Merry Christmas!

Oscar is a walking machine

After a few rounds of shaky steps, he quickly learned how to correct himself and take off on his own. Nothing better.

If anything, she looks the most like Zack.

I found a few past Christmas' that I thought would be fun to share.  I think she has the same eye shape as Zack.  Good lookin' kid. The shape of the face is different...

The Grinch is at our house!

Darren does a good job putting this up. Our Ward members want to copy it.

Amelia look-alike

I feel like Amelia looks like a cousin in this picture but I can't pinpoint who. Is it Brooke?

Early Christmas Present

So Tyler and I decided to get a new bed for Christmas this year. We wanted to upgrade to a king size bed so we heard Costco had good ones and they ship for free.  I was pretty surprised when I saw the UPS guys carrying this box up to my door.

It was so small! We thought somehow we ordered the wrong bed.  But after we took it out and let it poof back up it was just what we ordered!

Isn't it crazy?  It is a comfy bed though and we are loving having more room.
