New Years 2013 Dinner

We did our traditional New Year dinner...Benihana!

 YUM!

We also started a new tradition of writing down memories throughout the year then going through them on New Years day, gluing them into a memory book and reflecting on all the fun times we had.

 Some of our (Maia and I) memories...

Dad needs to get it together.

Zoo Lights 2012

This weekend we checked out the Zoo Lights and man was it freezing!

I love how Maia still managed to keep it gangsta...

The men devoured some deep fried s'mores...yuck!

Trying to stay WARM...

Christmas Day 2012

It's Christmas!!! This is the first year where we didn't leave the house for anything and it was sooo nice!  Usually we're running around to visit multiple family members but not this year.

 I'll have to let the photos do most of the talking :)

Maia reading her note from Santa...

 Boy are we spoiled! 

We also started a new Christmas Breakfast tradition: French Toast Casserole!

Merry Christmas to my beautiful family!

Christmas Eve 2012

We had dinner with the Sawyers tonight and this was the best picture I could get out of Tawn...

On the drive home Dom and I came across this home:

Then once we were home everyone got to open one gift...
Click to see what we got :)

Gingerbread & White Elephants

Last night we went to Grandma Shells for dinner, Gingerbread Man decorating and White Elephant exchanges in celebration of Christmas!

All the little monkey's hard at work...

 White Elephant time!

Family Night Out

Tonight we had a night out with the family.  First we enjoyed dinner at Red Robin and enjoyed a huge stack of delicious onion rings!

Next we went to paint Christmas Ornaments at Color Me Mine...Everyone was busy concentrating. 

 Of course we can't end the night with a little sweetness so we stopped at The Sweet Tooth Fairy! 

 

Family Fun Friday!
