Merry Christmas!


Merry Christmas everyone! We've been pretty busy around here so the pictures are a few days late but better late than never. We all had a wonderful Christmas. Brooke is still opening presents but is almost done, which is good because Jen already took down all the decorations so Christmas is pretty much over at our house.

Our day was busy starting with a stockings and a few presents at our house early and then Our parents and Jen's brothers all came over to see her open presents. Unfortunately for them she was pretty much overwhelmed and done for the morning by the time they all arrived but we all had breakfast and coffee and hung out while she played with the stuff she did opened. Then she just moved all the unopened ones into the other room and out of the way so she could play with the others. We're still opening them up a few at a time and plan on being done by Valentines day with any luck unless we decide to help her out a bit.

After that we got ready and went to visit both of our parents houses and see everyone. We had dinner at my parents and then went to Jen's parents after Brooke's nap for more presents, food and a poker game. I made $40 there to help replenish the bank account so it was a good ending to a great day.

Well rather than keep blabbing I'll let you get to the pictures, there aren't as many as you might think as I was busy with everything else that was going on but you can see them by clicking here or on any of the pictures. Hope you all also had a great day also and if we don't see you at my parents house have a happy New Years.

'Tis the Season

I know it's been a little while since the last post but we've been pretty busy. Everything from wine tastings to Christmas parades to Holiday and birthday party's and train rides so there's plenty of pictures for those of you interested. There's also some video's below as you can see. One is Brooke enjoying some chocolate, one is her dancing with the Rockettes and the other is her spelling and saying her name at Travis' 21st birthday the other day.

Rather than write much more I'll just let the picture tell the story so click here for pictures from the past few weeks and/or here for pictures from Travis' birthday. Don't forget to check back soon, Christmas is coming and there should be plenty more. Hope to see you all in the next week or so. Bye for now.
