Christmas 2008

Our christmas was very blessed. The girls had a great time, it was the first year that Emme could verbalize her wish list from Santa. It was as follows: A bike, a baby and a magic wand. (Santa provided all of the above). Jason and I loved watching the girls get excited on Christmas morning, knowing that it was our first of many fun ahead.
There were obviously some emotional moments as we had many firsts without a very important member of our family. We celebrated the holiday, never forgetting him, but knowing that he was with us, as he is everyday. We sincerely hope your holidays were happy too and that you have a very blessed 2009.

Happy Birthday Jesus!

One of the traditions that we have in our house it to celebrate Jesus' birthday as part of our Christmas celebration. Emme had a great time making his cake and thought it was the perfect time to break out her party hat from her 2nd bday for the occasion!

Merry Christmas!

Happy and Healthy Holidays from our family to you!

Happy Bday Jason

Jason turned #32 on Saturday. We went out with family and friends that night to celebrate and were able to catch Jason's older brother, Jeff, at Crackers Comedy club. He started doing stand-up comedy a few years ago. We don't get to see his shows often, but are always proud when we do.

Delanie's First Haircut

My mom finally won the battle....Delanie got her first haircut on Saturday. She did well, but now has a newfound addiction to ring pops!

Aunt Sue

We had a great visit with Aunt Sue (Jason's mom's sister)a few weeks ago. It was such a blessing to our family to have her with us during a really difficult time. I tried to convince her while she was here to move back to IN from CA! We tried to get some pics of the girls and Aunt Sue before she left, but we didn't get any good ones...guess you will have to come back soon, Aunt Sue!

Animal Lovers

I have never been a big fan of animals, but I begged Jason for a dog 6 months into our marriage, hence our Westie, Augusta. Augusta has taken a back seat in our lives since the girls have been born to say the least. Both of my girls LOVE animals, they didn't get that gene from me. Delanie loves my moms cat and as you can see from these pics, it looks like the feelings are mutual, or at least as mutual as it can get for a cat.
