Christmas 2010

As our Holidays come to an end, I will take a moment to reflect on the fun we have had. We started the Holiday Season off by heading to the Bay Area. We got a chance to visit with Monica's family, Danielle, and Travis' family. We all had a really good time. The girls enjoyed ice skating and Logan loved hanging out with grandpa.

We came back home and got to see a movie and hang out with Ben's family. It was a perfect Christmas. Here are my favorite pictures.

The Piano Project

A long time ago, Ben took on a project that he has finally finished. When Madison was born, Ben stripped and stained my parents piano. We have the piano now and he decided to rekey it. I had posted the befores a long time ago but I will post them again so you can see the before and after shots. It looks really nice. Now we will get it tuned and Madison will start lessons. She is so excited!

O' Christmas Tree...

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I started the morning off with a 10k Turkey Trot and had so much fun. (So much better than the half marathon!) We then headed over to Ben's parents house and enjoyed appetizers, football, food, games, and more food. It was a wonderful day.

On Friday, we did our annual tradition of going to Indian Rock Tree Farm and found our Christmas tree. The kids were so excited to see there was snow on the ground and had fun throwing it at each other. It is always a fun occasion.

The next Sunday the kids wanted to wear their new Christmas clothes from Grandma and Grandpa Brown. They looked really cute and were very excited. They cannot wait for Christmas!
