All the many Christmas cards we received this year

 What a wonderful Christmas we had this year. We were fortunate enough to have have Jeff's parents and grandparents celebrate with us. We are so glad they came out! The weather was great while they were here. We of course took them all to Shore Acres on the 23rd. Jeff's parents have seen the lights before, but it was his grandparents first time. What a great activity to enjoy and share with others at Christmas time. We all got spoiled as usual. Thank you everyone for making our Christmas another special one :) Can't wait for next year's! LOL

 Our pretty girls loved seeing Santa this year. They knew what they wanted and weren't shy at all.

My sweet Madilynn

Really enjoyed our annual trip to Shore Acres to look at all the wonderful lights. Gracie and Madilynn just loved it, and wanted to get a drimk and cookie as soon as we got there. Silly girls :)

Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving with friends. Didn't take very many pictures, we were enjoying the fabulous meal that the Herzogs made :) We brought a couple of items, but Janet made all the big stuff. Thanks, it was yummy.  

New Family Pictures!!!

Madilynn

Yay! Our family pictures for the year! Thanks to my very talented sister, Cordie, I might just get Christmas cards made this year :) I'm so glad she was able to come visit. We had planned to do pictures this summer when we were in Idaho, but the only day that worked with both of our schedules, Madi ended up getting a swollen eye from a mosquito bite! I was really bummed that we didn't get to do them. So thank you my lovely big sister! If you want to check out her her photography blog click, here.

Beaches

This sounds unbelievable, but I have never been to the beaches in Bandon. Wow, I was missing out! Gorgeous!  I'm glad I went for the day with my parents and sister. We will definitely be going back. Afterwards, we had  some yummy fish and chips for lunch. Can't go wrong there! The last pictures were takien at a local beach. It's very fun to have a bonfire there. Cordie had just finished taking my family's pictures. I can't wait to see them!!

Halloween Night

 With our friends the Mario Bros and Princess Peach :) So cute!

What a great night we had! Gracie and Madi were just beautiful as Cinderella and Snow White. It was great having my parents, my sister, Cordie and her son, Will trick-or-treating with us. Didn't he make the cutest Sea Otter? Thanks for the wonderful memories :)
