Snapshots into a beautiful personality

Winter 2008

Hello Friends and Family: Yes, I know.....I have not updated our blog forEVER!! These are some of our fun moments between October and December 2008!! Elisa, our exchange student from Spain has already gone home, but as you will see she is/was a big part of our family. We all miss her and Natalie keeps asking about her. Enjoy .....and Merry Christmas!! Elisa, Natalie and Dallan......the kids :)
Thanksgiving

Ready to 'trick-or-treat'

This was taken at Natalie's first dance recital!! It was the cutest thing Mommy and Daddy have ever seen! She performed so well up on stage and even remembered some of the dance moves.

Natalie loves Santa......obviously she doesn't understand who he "really" is....the guy in the red suit that eats cookies and leaves presents under your tree....maybe next year!

"I think I want this pumpkin...and I can carry it myself"

Our handsome boy

So sweet!!

Natalie really thought these were socks for her feet. Chad and I couldn't stop laughing!!!

Dec. 13.....our first winter snowfall. Natalie was helping her cousins, Emmie and Lilly decorate the tree outside at Grammy and Grampy's house.

Candy making day at Grammy's house....we made so much yummy candy!!!

Enjoying a fun day ....candy day....grammy snuck me a little chocolate...don't tell!!

This picture was taken on our way up to Yellowstone in October. What a fun, memorable trip with Anna (from Germany...my Mom's exchange student) and Elisa.
