Christmas, Birthday, New Year, New SUV

Well I have been slacking on my blog the past few weeks I think mainly because an entire week of that I was having fun with my family and especially enjoying the precious time that I had with my sister. I rarely have the chance to spend time with her family so it was a real treat! Anyway the past few weeks have been very eventful. First we bought a new car (picture is just like ours... but not our actual car). This was a much needed purchase as we had been living without a car since Thanksgiving and Dan and Lisa were generous enough to let us borrow one of theirs for that time. I am super excited about the Dodge Durango that we purchased because it has heated leather seats, runner boards (helpful when pregnant), a sweet luggage rack on top... i don't know if I will ever use that but I have always though that they were pretty cool, it has AWD and 4WD which was something that we were really looking for and last but probably the coolest feature of the entire car is that there is a 3rd row seat which means we can fit 7 people in this vehicle... very cool!

Next was Christmas which was very fun! We were very blessed in the gifts that we received and mainly the people we were surrounded by. A little crazy with 9 kids under six in the house but very magical and fun! I was spoiled.

I was spoiled again the following day on my birthday. Chad was very generous and thoughtful on my birthday and I was able to use most of the gift cards I received when I went shopping in Wenatchee with a few of my favorite people Mom, Aletha, Brynlee, and Dawson.

On New Years Eve we invited Tanner Gilbert, Shawna Juarez, Jake, Sariah and Sydney Mattinson and David and Molly Beus over and played games and ate a bunch of junk food. Most of us stayed up until midnight (David and Molly I am disappointed in you... I stayed up and I am huge pregnant)

Anyway, so I guess you could say we had a really great holiday break.
