Happy New Year!

We celebrated our 6 year Anniversary on
Sunday, Dec. 28th
And this year we celebrated by blessing our
beautiful Anne. It's a good thing to 
because she was getting too big for the 
blessing dress that I made for her.
We are so grateful for the past 6 years.
Scott is the best decision that I have ever 
made; he continues to surprise me with 
enduring love. I love you will all my heart,
Scott!!! Thank you for the most wonderful
6 years of our lives.  Eternity is the only
time long enough to be together!
It was so fitting to have Anne blessed
on our special day! 
She is beautiful! We decided
sort of quickly to have her blessed
that day. Some of Scott's family was 
going to be able to come on their
way home from Christmas vacation so 
we just did it! We wanted to invite so
many other people. We didn't end up
inviting any friends. Sorry friends.
We love you so much! But the weather was 
so terrible we didn't want anyone to 
risk coming. Please, don't be sad. 
This is Anne's name sake, her middle
name is after my beautiful Grammie.
We got soooo much snow for Christmas,
it was sooo much fun! Here is Scott and my little 
Sis. having a snow boulder fight.
Merry Christmas!
Anne was a fantastic baby Jesus!
Except for the times that she wanted to be
eating, like when Mary (me) was supposed
to be conversing with the angel. oh, well
we hid her under my garb. 

This is a four generation picture with 
my Grandma and mom. So special!
I never met any of my great grandparents.
Christmas morning was fun! Anne
got a lot of fun new toys. But all the  
excitement tired  her out! 
My awesome mom made all of us 
girls Christmas PJs. 
This is Christmas morning
without much sleep. Yikes don't look too closely.
I hope that you all had a very Merry Christmas,
and that your 2009 will be the best year ever.
