**Starlite Skating** and Best suprise ever!

Today we went to the Starlite skating rink for our niece Madi and nephew Kaden's Birthday Party! Brett and I had seriously not been there since grade school. It was a lot of fun and was fun to have everyone skating:) This is cute little Madi, now 3 years old, opening presents just after finishing her yummy birthday cupcakes.

Kaden and Tysen. Now that Kaden is 11 he is too cool to look at the camera:) HA!

Logan was not a fan of trying to roller-skate.

After the birthday party we had to hurry home because a Realtor was going to be showing our house. He showed it and we didn't hear anything:( Maybe next time. Anyway, we took Logan to my parents house to play with his cousins so Brett and I could go to dinner to celebrate our anniversary. Just when we were about to get out of the car to go into the restaurant Brett said, "Check out what Logan put in the console of the car." I lifted it up and couldn't really see anything besides a granola bar wrapper because it was dark and then all of a sudden I noticed a small present.

When I saw the box I knew exactly what it was and tore right into it. Brett had bought me a new band for my wedding ring that I have wanted since we have been married. I was shocked and felt a little dumb because I gave him nothing for our anniversary! oops! Thanks Brett I love it and it was a great surprise!

Party Week!

This week has been so much fun with lots of stuff to do! Monday night Brett and I went to the Sandpiper for Brett's company party. It was a lot of yummy food and good company. Tuesday Logan and I went to mutual with Brett and helped he and his teacher quorum do a gingerbread house building contest. I think Logan and Brett's trailer home gingerbread house looked pretty good:)

Wednesday night we had an ugly Christmas sweater party with the whole gang! We went to the Olive Garden for dinner and then headed to Matt and Jenny's to exchange our white elephant gifts. The gifts were hilarious and we all had a great laugh. Brett got a poor mans briefcase made from a pair of whitey titties and a duck tape handle and I was privileged to receive a Justin Bieber book with a giant poster and stickers inside:)

Thursday was our anniversary and tomorrow we have two birthday parties at the Starlite skating rink for my niece and nephew, so I will definitely have pictures from that! :) Fun week! Love the Holidays!

Happy Anniversary!

Today is our 4 year anniversary! It is so wonderful being married to Brett:) He is a great provider for our family and is always making us laugh. I am so thankful him and all he does for our little family! Happy Anniversary Brett! I love you tons!

So much Turkey, so much Fun!

I had to post a picture of the crazy blizzard we had at the first of the week. It was great for the Holidays, but not for the Holiday travel:(

This year we went to the Hanson's for Thanksgiving dinner it was a ton of fun and very yummy. After dinner we painted Christmas ornament (a Hanson Family tradition that I absolutely love). Logan was able to paint his own ornament this year, he loved doing it almost as much as I do:)

Our Christmas Ornaments
Brett and Kevin love to make crazy ornaments, if you look close in the picture the dog in the right corner is Brett's and it has bling on and the snowflake or "bloody throwing star" in the middle was done by Kevin

Friday night we went to the City Park to see Santa, we were only there for about 5 minutes to just say a quick hi to Santa because it was so cold.

Happy Thanksgiving

This makes me laugh!

Logan falls asleep eating lunch more often than not. It is hilarious:) He is usually almost asleep, but still manages to get a few last bits in.

**Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow**

On Monday it snowed all day...... I loved every minute of it. Logan on the other hand couldn't understand why he couldn't go outside and play. So on Tuesday we went outside, Logan was not sure about the snow, he would get so frustrated because it made his hands so cold, funny boy! Well bring on the Holidays! I LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR!!
