Happy New Year!

We hope everyone's year is filled with happiness, health, and joy!

Hopefully, now, I will have a bit of time to figure out how to get our blog going. It will be a much easier way to keep everyone updated with our happenings and photos.

Our Update:

We had a fantastic Christmas and Liam was spoiled rotten. We had a great time at Nana and Papa's the weekend before Christmas and then we enjoyed Christmas morning at home. The day after Christmas we headed to Washington and Liam got to spend some time with his Grandma and Grandpa. We were also very happy to get to visit the temple a couple of times while there. It is always wonderful to visit the temple we were married in.

Now for the photos! (hopefuly I can work this all out!)

First, the weekend before Christmas with Nana and Papa

Liam Looking snazzy in Papa's Glasses:

A Picturesque Photo of Liam reading by the fire(sorry it's sideways)

Some of our Sugar Cookies--it's a miracle they got done with our crazy boy who touches everything!

Wes's birthday celebration! Aunt Pam made him two very tasty cakes!

All ready for Christmas dinner in mom's new kitchen. Even though she doesn't have her new dining room all set up, it worked out great!

Wes and I at Christmas dinner.

Liam with Nana and Papa before Church(mom must have been sneaking corn flake wreaths by the color of her tongue.):

Liam enjoying lots of fudge with Grandma Terry. It was the funniest thing. She fed him non stop. He really, really liked her.

Wes, Liam and I on Christmas morning at our house:

Liam enjoying his new zebra from Auntie.
Jingle Bell Rock! Liam loved to dance to the jingle bells!


















Then we went to Washington! Here Liam is opening gifts with Grandma. Then he visited her at the post office. She weighed hi, but he was a bit too wiggly to get an accurate reading!

Then we got to visit with Jana and Aaron. Jana was my maid of honor! We have only seen eachother twice since Germany and that was at eachother's weddings. It was really fun to be able to hang out with them. Then we visited the duck pond and Liam loved looking at the ducks and saying "Quack! Quack!"

We also got to do sealings with Wes's parents and Ben one evening. We had a great time. The atrium in the temple was beautiful with poinsettas. I also took this great shot of the temple when we got out. It was a wonderful time!

Well, that concludes our first official blog. Sorry the pictures are all scattered and funny. I've got to figure out an easier way to format them. But, for now, this should do. Happy New Year!
