A little Christmas recap...

The boys eagerly counted down the days til Christmas this month. Every day Titus asked if it was time to put baby Jesus on the advent calendar. We would count how many empty spots were left until finally it was time!

Since we have lots of family in the area we had multiple Christmas celebrations. This year, the boys could recognize their names written on gifts so they were very excited to pick them out of the piles. Christmas Eve was spent with mom's side of the family, where there was lots of food, presents, and fun.

 

On Christmas morning, our presents were delivered by Santa (Grandpa) himself!

The day after Christmas we ventured over the pass to see the cousins. There were more gifts, more squeals, and more fun.... plus a little snow up in the mountains. Here's Grandpa Dave with his 7 grandkids:

Seven years

Last weekend we celebrated 7 years of marriage. So, I thought I'd do a little walk down memory lane....

This is the spring (2003) after we started dating... wow, we look young!

This is our engagement picture, from 2004

 Here we are in the Spring of 2005, freshly graduated college students ;)

 

2006, still kidless.... which explains all Matt's hair...

And 2007, with Silas on the way...

The year 2008 was apparently so crazy, that I have no pictures of just the two of us...

In 2009, we got away for the weekend for the first time in almost three years!

Here's our 2010 anniversary dinner....

And this is from June 2011...
