Getting and decorating our tree

Such a fun time to make precious memories. This year was much different than last year bc they are 26 months (today!) and last year they were 14 months. They were so much more into helping and so full of questions this year :). Christmas time, no matter what the activity, is so much more sweet when you have children <3

"Puttin' on the glitz"

It's an annual festival on a main street where we live. Tonight the twins and I went along with my parents and my niece. First we had dinner...


Then we headed down to see all the Christmas festiveness!





















Kaden loves giving me butterfly kisses! Soooo sweet!

Thanksgiving 2010

I can not believe how quickly the Holidays came this year! I remember last year's like they were 3 months ago. Goodness, time just really flies!
This year was my family's turn to "get us" :) Starting last year, we take turns since it's just not possible to be in two places at once and our families to TG dinner usually eat around the same time. Last year was spent with my husband's family so off to my parent's we went.
I made 2 pumpkin pies today, one traditional with a hint of maple syrup and one a carmel pumpkin pie. Both were delicious.
My parents made the traditional turkey dinner which was yummy, my sis made the stuffing. And we had festive drinks made of champagne and cranberry juice with fresh berries. It was a fun time of just hanging out. I have a huge family (8 of us then add spouses and kids) so it's always hectic and loud. But it's great.

Not just today but everyday I am thankful for so many things. I am so thankful for such a patient, forgiving, loving and generous God! I am thankful for an amazing husband who is truly the man of my dreams! I am beyond thankful for my 2 beautiful, HEALTHY, MIRACULOUS twins. They are truly a treasure from the Lord. I am thankful for my incredible parents, my wonderful in-laws, my crazy siblings and my true friends. I'm grateful every day for my health and the health of the people I love. For food on our table and home to rest our heads! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

beach fun

Today we went to a park at the beach that we love. With the sun setting so early (around 4:45) these days, we weren't there long. But we had a great time together, as always, as a little family :) Although it was FREEZING!!!!



My husband is just so handsome, I had to snap a pic :)

Today is our 9 year dating Anniversary as well :)
