Christmas with the couples

Since the married siblings couldn't be with us on Christmas day, we decided to have an early gift exchange with them at our house a few days ago.

It was a pretty noisy night of laughter over the little guy's reactions to the gifts, lively discussions and a good time around the table with a wonderful meal that Mom prepared.

I love your smile Anna! 

Abby and Emily!

Like uncle, like niece! :o) 



All the lovely ladies! 





Can you remember when play-dough got you this excited? 


Emily got a hug from her little monkey. 


First Christmas as man and wife!  (Rick and Bethany as well)

Bowling with friends...

Trip to Chicago
Last Saturday I had the privilege of attending a piano concert with Reid and Alexis Thacker,  performed by Kyle and Ryan Jannak-Huang. They are incredible pianists. And only 14 years old!

 While we were in Chicago we went to "The Bean". (And Starbucks, of course. ;-)


We walked out to Navy Pier as well. Chicago was all decorated for Christmas, and it was quite lovely!

Savos Tour

 Loved the time with Lizzie. <3
Amanda did an incredible job as Rudolph.

Aiden's Lego Creations
 Aiden entered this Santa and Elf into a Christmas Lego contest, and I thought he did an excellent job!

Happy 15th Birthday To Luke!
