Our trip to see Santa

The kids had so much fun going to see santa this year. You would think it was a days long drive becouse Easton and Ashlynn fell asleep on the way home, It must have been all that excitment and cookie decorating that just wore them out!! We have started a new tradition last year. I dont know if you can call it a tradion if you have only done it two years in a row or not, but what the heck we dont have anyother traditions to name so Im going to call this one a tradition. Anyway, We went to Indiana to the Bass Pro shop and had a lot of fun in Santas work shop!!

Grandma Nielson was here......

When Grandma Nielson came to visit the birth of Dax (Bryce and Meghan's little guy) she spent some time with the girls and made some beed necklaces. She made sure to tell them that they came from the Great-Grandma Nona Moffat. The girls thought the name "Nona" was funny and this is what they were doing upstairs while brushing their teeth. Now, they stopped when they saw us, so we had to give them a little nudge to get going again.....Enjoy!

Rylee and Ashlynn Dancing

Here is one of both of the girls. They sure love their Miley Cyrus and Party in the USA.

Rylee Dancing - Circus

I figured we better put some video's of the kids on here. Here is the first one. This was a while ago, but Rylee sure loves to dance!

So much to be Greatful for

It may just be that time of year again! But I have to post how grateful I am for all of our blessings. Call me a sentimental sap but I have just been feeling so grateful for so much lately. Brandon and I are coming up on our 7 year anniversary and with it being so close to thanksgiving I cant help but be grateful for the wonderful family that we have. I am truly living my dream. A stay home mom with healthy beautiful children and a hard working devoted husband that would do anything for his family. what more could a girl ask for! I love my life
