Wonderful Christmas!

I hope all of you enjoyed a very Merry Christmas and were surrounded by those you love. My Michigan family is here and it was our first Christmas together in 14 years! We enjoyed breakfast together, a hike, lunch together, opening gifts, singing happy birthday to Jesus and eating His birthday cake, hearing Danny read the Christmas Story, and then watched the movie "Enchanted" which had us laughing to the point of tears when watching my uncle, husband, and brothers sitting through this very "girly" movie :)

Christmas Tree Favorites

Our Christmas tree this year.

Danny and I laughed when we took this ornament out. We bought this in 2005 and had it personalized to say "adopted with love...2006 Lauren" Oh, how naive we were :)

We bought these in San Diego in 2005. We had just bought our bikes and were trying them out by biking all over San Diego. I always remember how much fun we had when I hang these ornaments.

We bought this last year. As many of you will recognize, it was created by my friend Steph from Jiinkin Kids. It states simply, "Waiting for you 2006".

This ornament floods me with memories of Danny and I dating and all the wonderful memories since. What an awesome man I have been blessed to call my husband.

All I want for Christmas...
