Christmas 2010 Part 3

Christmas 2010 Part 2

Our Christmas celebration involved 8 days, 8 adults and 2 toddlers all in one house. It was great fun and great chaos! The kiddos played together. Abbie taught Ethan how to have a tea party. Ethan stayed up late and woke up early… exhausting but very fun. In addition to the children bonding, brother proposed to his girlfriend, LeAnna! We were so blessed to be a part of their special moment. Eric was super thoughtful with his proposal and I’m pretty sure we all cried… well, the girls did at least! This goes down in the books as one of the most special Christmas’ that we have had.

Ethan and Tyrus had a fabulous time opening presents and playing together. It is so fun to watch the cousins get to know each other better.

Friends Thanksgiving 2010

Way back in December we had an awesome celebration of friendship and thankfulness at, what Nguyen named “Friends Thanks-Christmas Giving 2010 Epic Edition”. College friends drove hours and hours to come see us as only true friends would. We had a fabulous dinner together. Ethan helped to cook, bonded with the guys, and was a sweetheart through the whole thing. We love our friends!

Happy Thanksgiving

S
o many things to be thankful for this year. A healthy child who brings joy to my life everyday. A husband who is solid and loving and patient beyond belief. Family who are not only supportive but love us and want to be a part of our life. Old friends that know a little too much about us yet still call us friends.  A God who loves me more than I can understand. A God, who because of His love, gives my life purpose and meaning and hope. My prayer is that my life reflects the gratitude I feel for the immense blessings in my life.

From our family to yours, have a Happy Day of Giving Thanks!

What do you do with a 14 month old on a cold and windy day? Bundle up to eat hot noodle soup and dumplings outside, of course.
