A Pictoral Synopsis

Here are a few pics of the big stuff we have done since my last post.
This is our new pre-lit Christmas tree and all of the decorations we have collected in our 5 years of marriage.

This is my favorite picture from our night at Disney on Ice. Alexa sat like that for the entire time the princesses were dancing. Belle, Ariel, Cinderella etc. plus their princes were dancing and singing for about 15 min of the show. Alexa sat all cuddled up and put her hands like that and stared enraptured the whole time they were on the ice. It was so precious!

This is Valentines day in Vienna. Brad came home from work with flowers for all 3 of his girls. Livvy and Alexa were so excited I could barely get them to stand still. They felt so special and loved. I got a nice big bouquet too and Brad got a chocolate bar card. It was a sweet day.

This is the view from the window of our King, Jacuzzi Suite in Niagara Falls during Brad's week off from work. We went to a wax museum, the Hershey's chocolate store and The Keg overlooking the falls while we were there. It was an amazing little trip, just the two of us.

This is a little self-taken picture of Brad and I in our room before dinner. We don't have enough pictures of the two of us together, so we are trying to take more whether we have someone else to hold the camera or not. This was a GREAT day!

So now you are pretty much all caught up with the major events since last November. I hope everyone reading this has had as much fun and sweet family time as we have.

I realize that this post is a tad late as I haven't posted since Nov '08. So this is my catch up post. Since my last attempt at blogging quite a lot has happened. Brad had his 27th birthday, Olivia had her 4th birthday and we celebrated with a bowling/sleepover party (which I have decided not to do again until we live in a BIGGER house lol). Christmas and all of the wonderful events that go with that happened, and then a low key yet fun New Years with Tala and LeRoy. Since 2009 arrived we have been busy as always. A family trip to Disney on Ice was fantastic, and Valentine's day was sweet and happy. Our biggest thrill came from Brad having his first week off in 2 years that did not involve some sort of surgery on his part. We went, just the two of us, to Niagara Falls for two days and had a blast! The rest of the week we played with the kids and hung out and had a great time.

Those were all of the big events but the real story of our lives happens in the everyday hugs and kisses, family dinners and bedtime stories. We are very lucky and blessed to have such a great family, and such great friends to share it with!

I promise to keep up with this blog much better from now on!
