Christmas Newsletter

As I went through our happenings during 2010, I was struck by how boring we are :) Hopefully you've read through our blog if you're *really* interested in what happened this year, but here's a quick recap:

We moved to Texas. We love the humidity and heat, but miss the mountains. James joined our family and is the love of our lives. Lily turned two and is a wonderful sister and a great big-girl.

We're getting ready for Christmas away from the extended family. I'm really looking forward to starting our own traditions and growing together as a family. Lily is so excited about all of the Christmas lights and every baby picture she sees *must* be Baby Jesus. James loves to sit on the floor while Lily "reads" him Nativity books. They almost break my heart with how adorable they are.

We hope you all are enjoying these holidays and the time you have with your loved ones!

Maybe we won't do Santa pictures anymore

Finally calmed down, but still not happy.

November Fun


On November 23rd Lily turned two! She is such a sweet girl and we love having her in our family! We went to Utah over Thanksgiving and her birthday and got to celebrate with family.



While we were there a blizzard happened! Lily loved playing in the snow and even got to make a snowman in the field behind Gramma and Grampa Barrus's house.



We got to see the lights on Temple Square; have you ever tried to take pictures of that? I don't think a single one turned out well. We also visited Lily's favorite place: the Centerville McDonalds. She even got her flirt on!
