Some pics of our holiday busy-ness



 
With having made the 1000 mile trek a couple of months ago, Dan and I decided to forgo the long trip to see our families for Christmas and just spend it here. Together. We've done it before and we did it again. Although we missed our families and the fun we always have with them, we still had a great time here.

Our friends from Laramie were kind enough to invite us over Christmas eve and for part of Christmas day, so we could hang out with the adults and Alayna could play with their grandkids. There were all kinds of festivities. Singing, a couple different games, acting out the nativity scene, dinner, chimes, and more. Fun was definitely had by all.

Alayna was asked to be the angel. She loved the pretty dress, but didn't quite make it to her part, so Ashlee took over for her. Here she is with her dress and staff. The angel had a staff, right?

Practicing her part.  She insisted on holding the paper.

Singing. 

Here's a few pics from Christmas morning.  Once she saw the bike Santa brought her she said, "Ah, a BIKE!!!"  It was so cute.
Opening presents.

Sitting in her new chair opening more fun gifts.





Sporting her Christmas outfit. 

Mom and Layna ready for church. 

Along with the holiday season comes my birthday.  The big 2-6.  This picture doesn't show 'em, but I got some sweet new boots and Alayna gave me a necklace with her name on it.  LOVE them!

And right after my b-day comes our anniversary.  SIX years!  Can you believe it?  I can't. 
Here we are six years later and still in love.

That about sums up our holiday happenings and 2010.  It was a good year.  Hope to have an even better 2011!
