Happy New Years!

So, I am obviously a little late with this post but I wanted to write a little about our holidays. I guess I'll start with Christmas. We had a great time. We celebrated our Christmas the day after because Anthony worked on Christmas day. We just hung out in our pajamas all day, and played with all of our new toys. Jenna was in heaven, if she had her way she'd wear pajamas all day everyday. This Christmas was so fun all the kids were so into it. It was magical! A couple days after Christmas we drove to California with my brother and his family, and my sister and her husband. We met the rest of my family there, except for Scott who is still on a mission, for my other younger brother's wedding. We had so much fun! We got to meet Kerri's family and have a bonfire on the beach with them. I couldn't believe it, but all the kids got in the ocean. The ocean is too cold for me in the summer, I can't imagine what it would be like on December 29th. Their wedding was beautiful!! Congratulations Drew and Kerri we love you!! After California we drove to Phoenix for a reception there. We got to see lot of friends and family. I loved the time I had to spend with my family. They are the best! So here are a few pictures of our activities.

First Time Blogger

So, I gave in and started a blog. I've had friends telling me now for awhile that I should start one, but I've been dragging my feet unsure if I'd keep it up or not. I finally decided to give it a try. Mostly for myself. I am not good at journaling and I figured this way I would have some record of the funny things my kids do and say. I never thought I'd forget things like that, but I'm finding it hard to remember who said what. And I don't want to forget. We do so much as a family, and I want to have it written down. So here it is I hope you enjoy!
