I'm back!

Ok, it's seriously time to get this blog updated! I've missed two major holidays and a birthday, for crying out loud! So without the usual bemoaning of my laziness here's a quick update to get caught up!
We really enjoyed the holidays this year starting with a trip to Denver for Thanksgiving to visit my dad's side of the family. It was so fun to see everyone and watch the kids get familiar with more family. Now they now who we are talking about when names are mentioned. I have always wanted my kids to have a large family to love and be involved with. I hope we are able to give that to them. One of the best parts of the weekend was that my little sister, Valerie, was able to come with her first baby, Eliana. We hadn't met her yet and it was so sweet to get time with them!
December 3 we celebrated Lyla Elizabeth's third birthday! My lovely little Lyla! She is my sweet-n-sassy, my never ending energy, my snuggle bug, my stubborn one, my goofy girl, my little love! What does God have in store for you this year?
On the 12th was Gabrielle's first dance show. It was a Christmas show telling the story of Jesus' life and ministry up through his death and resurection! A powerful gospel story! Gabrielle was one of the little angels dancing around baby Jesus celebrating His birth. It was too sweet for words! She had so much fun and did a great job(when she wasn't too busy squinting in the stage lights trying to see us!) Looking forward to the spring show! Christmas was a great time of celebrating Christ's birth here on earth. The girls really enjoyed all the preparations this year (although I think it also confused them as to the fact that Christmas is actually only one day!)It was a great time to spend with family and just enjoy!
And now we find ourselves in the year 2010! Perhaps it should be my resolution to keep up with my blog...

With all you have to keep up with, it is a great gift you give to the rest of us when you sit down to write. You do it beautifully!
