We had a really great Christmas this year. Having our first baby made Christmas seem so much more significant. We spent Christmas with Dane's family. We stayed at his brother''s house and had a blast. It was so fun to see the little girls get excited for Santa to come. We spent New Year's with my family in Seattle and that was so fun too!

Family Gifts- My family did homemade gifts this year and it was so fun to receive memories, videos, cds and other thoughtful treasures.
Boston- He got an AMAZING quilt from his Nana (Aunts helped out too). A special book from Mom and Dad. A sweet gift from my Dad and lots of Dr. Seuss board books from my Momma.
Dane- A Gonzaga Driver cover (for his Golf clubs) and a homemade book with pictures of him and Bosty and the lyrics to "I'm your buckaroo" written on every page.
Jill- Dane printed off all of our engagements and wedding pictures and put them into a BEAUTIFUL album that he bought for me. :)
