Trip to Washington with the WHOLE Family :)

We went to Washington this past weekend. My mom Surprised my Dad for their anniversary and got everyone who didn't live there a ticket home to Washington. We haven't all been together for quite a few years so it was really fun to have everyone there. We got some family pics done, that was a bit difficult with all the little kiddos. Kristin came and visited. :) Thanks Kristin for coming to visit me! I love that we got to see you and get our little family picture together with our adopted daughter :D We had lots and lots of fun! Thanks everyone for a great time! And thanks Mom and Dad for flying us home! :)

Christmas

So this year we had Christmas with Nathan's family. We stayed the night at his parents house and did the whole Christmas Eve and Christmas morning thing with his family this year. It was my Christmas away from home. It was nice though. His family is great :) Christmas morning we all woke up and opened our presents. I got Nathan a digital slr camera. He's been wanting one of those for a long time so I finally got one for him :) He was excited! And I finally got to surprise him. He's a hard one to surprise so I was pretty proud of myself haha. He got me a beautiful black pearl necklace that I've been wanting for awhile. And also some Disney Dvd's. I love Disney movies :) And I got a bunch of little other things as well. I won't sit here and list them off though. Here are a couple of pictures from our little Christmas, and our cute little Christmas Tree. Oh and Nathan thought it would be funny to put Foxy in our little ornament box...it's a fox in a box...haha...we thought it was funny. lol.

Trip to Washington

So I was in Washington from October 3-12. It was really nice to see the family! I wish Nathan could have come with me, but he had to stay and work and go to school. But I got to see my cute new baby niece Hazel. She is so adorable! I loved seeing all the other nieces and nephews! They are just the cutest little things! I got to spend a lot of time with Stephanie and Alida. I got to play with Alida a lot and do crafts with her. She LOVES doing crafts! I loved seeing Stephane and spending time with her. I miss her. On Wednesday, my Mom and I had a girls day and went to lunch and went shopping and then went home and played Scrabble :) I love spending time with my mom! I miss it a lot! Thanks Mom, I love and miss you! I also got to spend some one on one time with my sister Jennifer! That was really nice because we NEVER get to do that. Thanks Jennifer! I had a Blast. I miss talking to you all the time. :( I wish I lived closer to everyone. Maybe one day :D I also got to hang out with my brother Danny and he cooked me some awesome spaghetti! That was SO SO SO yummy! I wish I could have seen Bobby and my Dad a little more. Good thing we're going back for Thanksgiving :) Thanks family for a Fun time! I love you all!
