Sweet Sixteen

I think Justin and I are both a little in shock that our little girl turned 16.  She is so smart, beautiful, strong willed, determined and fun to be around.  She has her dad's quick wit and her moms love of organization.  Sieauna we are so proud of the woman you are turning into. Happy sixteenth birthday baby girl! 

Christmas Eve Dinner

This year I cooked! I made a seriously delicious prime rib. Yes, I am tooting my own horn because it was fabulous! Poor Justin was sick, which is why I took over meat duty.  Sieauna and Alex made a wonderful red velvet cake to go along! We had Summer, my parents, Justin's parents and brother and my cousins Greg and Kristin over from Wyoming.  It was delicious and so great to catch up with my cousins.

Same traditions, bigger kids. These cousins love to play together and while the families have stopped growing, the kids haven't! We seem to have a few "little adults" now.   It's fun to see them all step up and take on the roles that the parents used to do.  Love that they love this tradition.
