Halle's Blessing day!










Matt blessed Halle this morning and it was beautiful! I am so grateful for him and being able to give her a blessing. We had family and friends out to share the day with us and they made it even more wonderful! We went to the club house afterwards for a little brunch and to visit. Halle got passed around and looked like an angel! Thanks everyone for coming today and for those who helped!
I thought a lot today about Addy and Emerie's blessing day and the blizzard that happened and how church got canceled. The first time in my life that Church was canceled. We loaded up the car and went to my parents house driving so super slow!
I love that I have memories of these days that time will never erase and that I will be able to share these stories with the girls as they grow older!
I'm so thankful for my little family and also my big family! Days like these remind me of all the great people I have in my life!

Just an update.......and a surprise party!













So we have been busy, busy around here! Having lots of fun and getting in the holiday spirit! We got the tree up, the lights on the house, and we've a;ready seen Santa twice! Addy and Emerie can't get enough of Halle and I often have to clear them out of her face so she can get a breather! I'm grateful they love her so much and can't say that I blame them! I love that little girl to pieces! All 3 of these girls make my days wonderful and crazy and fun!
I decided to throw Matt a surprise graduation party! I told him we were going to dinner and that my parents were watching the girls for us. He walked in and was greeted by some of our very favorite family and friends! It was a fabulous night and we had so much fun eating and talking with everyone! Matt and I really are blessed to be surrounded by such wonderful people! Thanks to my parents for letting everyone invade their house and for helping with food! Thanks to Kim, Robyn and Ashlee who helped out with food and drink too! The biggest surprise of the night was when Matt walked in the kitchen and there were his parents!!! IT brought both of us to tears and it meant the world to Matt that they made the trip and it was such a quick trip for them and we are so grateful for them coming!
We had a fantastic Thanksgiving and have SO much to be grateful for! We have been blessed beyond words and we are thankful for all that we have, the most of which is each other!!!
We hope that everyone is having a wonderful season so far and that it continues to be filled with those things that bring you happiness!
