New Year's Eve

We went to Dave and Buster's this year for New Year's Eve and met up with friends. It was a good time. We ate, played games, there was face painting, a dj and a photo booth. After that ended at 7pm Francis and I went out to a party. It was a really fun night out. This holiday season we've been surrounded with so many friends and family. We sure are lucky!

Christmas Dinner

We went to Kathi's house for dinner on Christmas and it was one of the BEST meals I've ever had. She made the most delicious prime rib with sauce, mashed potatoes and salad. The kids love to see their little cousin Caige. It was the perfect to way to end a fun Christmas.

Christmas Morning

Christmas Morning we woke up and went next door to my parent's house to open gifts and have breakfast.

after the gifts and food we went outback to launch the airplanes that Kai got from Uncle Cody, it was very entertaining. We're so lucky to have perfect outdoor weather at Christmas and to have so much family to celebrate with.

Christmas Eve Brunch

We had both sides of our family over for a big Christmas Eve Brunch! It was so much fun to have everyone over. The weather was perfect so we set up the new yard games that Kai got as a gift earlier that day. We ate homemade biscuits and gravy, quiche, fruit salad and homemade cinnamon rolls.
