The BEST Christmas!

Christmas 2013 proved to be truly the BEST Christmas!! So many great memories together with family and such nice quality time together...

On December 21st, we celebrated Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa and family!! We enjoyed a yummy brunch when we arrived made special for us...
lovin' on grandpa!
lovin' on grandma!
Andrew and Micah played Christmas music for us after breakfast!
Uncle Ben decided it was his turn to play us some good old classic christmas tunes too!
Loads of presents were being delivered to everyone while the sound of laughter and joy filled the room.
Feeling very special and blessed to the top!
Lots of smiles and thankfulness as we opened up each gift given to us. A wonderful day playing outside, eating lots of yummy homemade treats and feeling the presence of family being together. A true sense of completeness filled the house!
As evening rolled in we changed the atmosphere a bit to include a very special celebration for my dad turning 60!!! A FUN night of giving him a gift that we were all thrilled about....60+ reasons we love you book!! It was so fun to tell our dad, grandpa, father -in-law and husband how blessed we are by him and his life that is shared everyday with us. The Lord knew exactly what he was doing when He created this man cause he continues to bless us ALL each and everyday by his love, patience and wisdom he pours onto us.
Happy 60th Birthday DAD!!!

Before saying goodbye to Christmas this year we went to the tubing hill and enjoyed tubing together as a family. It was so warm outside we tubed without our coats!! We will never forget the endless laughter going down on the tubes together and of course our Nana crash!!:)
