Four Generations at Christmas

I am so thankful all of my family lives near and we can be together on the holidays. Here is a picture of us girls-4 generations! We had dinner Christmas Eve at our house, then everyone came back for breakfast in the morning. We played Wii games, put puzzles together, and hung out. I think it was one of the best Christmases I've ever had. Especially since I got three new books to read! Thanks Jen, Mom, and David.

Bunko at my house

I just hosted bunko for December. Can I just say that I love to host parties? I love the whole thing-what's on the menu, how do I decorate, is everything clean enough? I could totally do this all the time. What more could you ask for than 15 of your coolest friends hanging out, having a meal, playing a game, and then getting to take something home for your efforts?

Tagged

Cyndee tagged me, so here is my picture. This is the fourth file, fourth picture. It is of Chase at 2 asleep in his crib at our old house. Looks just like Ryan, huh.

Halloween Decorations

As you all know, Halloween is my favorite holiday. Here is my house all decked out-during the day. At night I have lights around the door. In front is my graveyard, (pretty easy to make when you have an unfinished flower bed!) and the ghosts playing ring around the rosie.

Happy Birthday

Sunday was David's birthday . I think he still looks as young as the day we met (he was only 23). He is still so handsome! Artie took this picture of us at the wedding last weekend, and I love it. David is a generally happy person, but this is the look I see and love the most. It means he's content, even if he isn't smiling. So happy birthday David, and here's to many more.

My new sister-in-law

David's brother Rob got married on Saturday. It was so beautiful in the park, but COLD! Jennifer is an only child like me, so it is so fun for us to have so many brothers and sisters now. I am glad she is part of the family-we like her a lot! Hannah and Chase got to be part of the wedding, and so did their cousin Angelina. Don't they all look adorable?

Lynnette did my hair before we left, I LOVE IT! It is a huge change, but looks so much better than it did. Having that last kid made my hair look like dirty dishwater. I feel young and saucy now. :)

Halloween Bunko

We all dressed up for Bunko last night, and here is the result. In case you can't figure out what I dressed up as, let's just say you don't remember much about the 80's! Hannah watched me crimp my hair, and asked did you really do that to your hair? Then she saw me peg my pants, and she asked why would you do that to your pants? She was totally mystified. I, on the other hand was awash in memories. How could looking so dorky still feel so right? Anyway, it was totally rad, and like, fer sure, one fun night. ;)
