The Holidays

Our holiday season started with one goal in mind….

More meaning!

I wanted a month of celebration packed with family, friends, and everything important. Mission accomplished! Here’s some of my favorite photos from the holiday season:

Cooking = Love! We baked, we cooked, we ate. . . all together!

Emily and I attended a Mele Kalikimaka Luau and watched the world’s champion fire dancer:

 

Big brothers spent time with little brother building legos, offering brotherly advice and other brotherly things:

 

And in turn, little brothers attacked big brothers:

Siblings spent time together:

I met new family (Rob’s mom on the left with Marcus):

And I invited new “family” – Rob’s ex father-in-law joined our celebration:

 

We enjoyed community (at left a photo from our annual Snowflake Parade and at right, the parade organizers – Courtney, me and Rachael)

We sang (Nate at his Christmas pageant and yes, he is awesome)

Little elves blessed us with holiday cheer:

 

I turned 36 and celebrated with a cake and wrestling match:

 

We travelled:

 

And cousins welcomed new cousins (Zach and Emily):

 

I laughed and enjoyed time with my family:

Rob learned why I love my family:

We celebrated some firsts (Zach and Emily riding their first horses)

 

 

Nate learned he’s a pretty darn good wrestler:

 

It was a good December and I spent lots of quality time with my boys and the people I love.

Happy new year!!
