Good bye 2014

2014 is almost over and I am ending this years blog 

with all of our holiday festivities.

We had a wonderful time celebrating with friends and family 

and am very happy that we relaxed and stayed close to home.

Enjoy and Happy New Year!

Kids Xmas party at the country club

Making crafts, eating sweets and NOT taking a pix with Santa. He says, no santa!

Took off with his goody bag

First time Ryan put lights on the house. It was magical!

My farm table came to life.

Brenden was so into helping daddy build it and stain it.

Who knew that black tea and vinegar would make it look the way I wanted

Ta da! So proud of my hubby for amazing me....again.

Christmas Eve at Grandma Lynn's

Poor Bella

The unwrapping begins!

Santa was tired! This pix was taken at midnight.

7am...the madness begins. He loved his castle!

Spoiled kids!

All cleaned up and ready to get on the road for celebrations.

Hanging out at Grandpa Gary's for the afternoon.

Watching the train at Uncle Doug's and ready for Xmas dinner.

With grandmas!

Kylah and Molly

Jumping for joy! Thanks for building this Daddy and Papa.

Brenden's 2nd Birthday

Oh Two-dles!

It was a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse kinda day.

Happy 2nd Birthday to my sweet boy!

I can't believe that I have a toddler now.

He is super energetic,

very determined, 

easily frustrated when he can't do something on his own, 

talks soooo much,

can count to 14 all by himself,

and loves to cuddle with me all day!

After nonstop rain, even late last night...

it was sunny and beautiful today.

Perfect weather for his little party. 

We kept it small and relaxing, 

and Ryan was able to stay the whole time 

even though his entire department was required to work today 

because of the protests.

So, we had a few people missing because of that.

Anyway, thanks for coming everyone. 

We had a great time!

Thanksgiving from Southern Cali

We had a beautiful Thanksgiving with my family in Southern California.

My parents house was filled with lots of adults,

 many kids, and lots of yummy food....

and it was a warm 85 degrees!

I am thankful for everything in my life!

Hope yours was wonderful.

The kids table

We went to the park to the let the kids get all of their energy out!

Cute girls!

The ladies!

My handsome sweetie!

We celebrated Brenden's and Alyssa's birthday early!

The kids!

XOXO,

Tania
