Merry Christmas

Christmas was fun as always this year! Lots of parties with friends and fam and work that made for a busy month but keeps it fun!

On Christmas Eve we went to my parents house for our annual christmas eve party with all of my moms side of the family. Chase and Jake couldn't be there because they were on shift that day so that was kinda sad! The little cousins put on the nativity and they are so stinkin cute! This is James... how cute is he? We had to put a cookie in his mouth so he wouldn't cry!

ME AND THE SISTERS!

THE FAMILY WITH MR. AND MRS. SANTA CLAUSE Lilly puckering up to Grandpa! I am so in love with her!

The day after christmas we went to Chases moms house and played games and we played the famous killer bunnies it was alot of fun and so funny cause everyone gets so competative! Good times, and bring on the New Year!

Merry Christmas! ( I had to say something, this halloween stuff needed to go!)

Halloween!

Hope everyone had a good Halloween! This is Chase and I in our winning costumes at the fire dept. party! we won the scariest which landed us 50 bucks! You can't beat that! We were people from the fifties if the Cold War had ended badly, Post apocalyptic he called it! Chase's amazing idea! I wasn't so sure about it at first with having to wear a gas mask but it ended up turning out pretty cool! here's some other fun costumes from the parties! and firefighter Mars!

Family Pictures

Here are a couple family pictures we just got! This is all I have right now, I'll have more later! My sister-in-law was our photographer, she does a great job! Go Megan!

Just Hangin Loose!

So we got back from Hawaii on Tuesday and it was amazing! I love that place, I could stay there forever! We went with our friends from the fire department and it was fun cause my sister was there because she is dating Jake! We were over in Oahu and did all the fun stuff that there is to do! We ate amazing yummy food too, amazing sushi...the best I have ever had, yummy fresh pineapple and dole whips at the pineapple plantation (Kevin's favorite) Yummy shaved ice... I think we had like twenty of those! Ever eaten and the shrimp trucks? So divine, and gives you such stinky burps, but so divine! The craziest thing we did was went swimming with sharks...so crazy but so worth it! We did a bunch of snorkeling and the boys took on some surfing! We saw some cool sea turtles right up on shore while we were jumping the big waves. We hung out at the beach allot (and the boys surprised us with their various speedos and such while running to the water, funny, crazy boys!) ...especially sunset beach. It was gorgeousand had the best sand ever! We also went on this cool jeep tour and saw where some films were made and our tour guide picked some fruit from the jungle and we got to eat some guava and jungle apples and it was so good and so cool! We went to Pearl Harbor... so sad but really neat! We went to a luau and Jake and Kevin learned to Hula! Hilarious! We went and saw the temple and it is being renovated and they will be re-dedicating in next July. Perfect excuse to go back next year, right? We also went and saw a couple fire stations, one was right on the beach over looking it, maybe chase should try and get a job in Hawaii! All their trucks had surfboards on them which was pretty cool! All in all it was a blast and a well needed vacation! I know there are tons of pictures, but I couldn't resist, it's like I'm reliving it!
