I only want you for Christmas, baby!

Soooooo, FYI: I changed the sizes on Michaela's clothing requests. She is growing like a weed. When in doubt, gift cards are great and/or you can take her shopping yourself when we see you all in less than 3 weeks! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! We all love you all. Love, Stef

Everyone's such a cuh-MAH-dee-un!

OK, who put "Elder Esplin" on Kelli's wish list? Cuz I thought it was hilarious, and definitely a good way to test if she's even looked at the blog yet!--Love, Mom

Christmas tiiiime is heeeere!!

I can't even tell you all how excited I am to come home for Christmas! Last year was good in Nashville for Miki's first Christmas but we decided really quickly that we had to come home this year. So happy that it is possible! Here is our tentative schedule: we arrive in Denver on the 21st of December. We will be staying at the Sadlers for a night or 2 and either catching a ride to Grand Junction/Montrose or borrowing a car from some friends. We will split Christmas Eve and Christmas day with the 2 families and then will be spending 4 or so days in Montrose before heading up to Junction. We are also going to TRY and head to Utah for a few days to see all the family there. We are not settled on the exact dates for all of this and we are somewhat flexible. Just wanted you all to know we want to see all of you as much as possible. Let me know what is going on in your lives between the 21st and the 9th of January when we have to return home to Nashville. Also, look at your schedules for next year. We have a house now and are expecting to fill it with family throughout the year next year! Love you guys, Stef

Once again, I'm in here and can't figure out how to access my wishlist...so I'm adding another idea via post! I'd LOVE to have The Sound of Music on DVD...

It Must Be Said

I miss you all so much! I look forward to this time of year simply because I can't wait to see my family. This year is no exception. I am looking forward to fun times and laughter. I am looking forward to movies and sleepovers at Grandad and Babs'. I can't wait to have the babies together or just simply watch them experience new and wonderful things this Christmas. December is forever changed for me. December 11, 2010 was both the scariest and most incredible day of my life. I am so grateful for that experience. Honestly, I am. I can only hope that the weather will cooperate so we can see everyone at least once these next few months. Love you!

It's That Most Wonderful Time of the Year!!!!

Well peeps, it's that time of year again, and can I just say thank goodness! The year has flown by for sure...lots and lots and LOTS of changes for everyone! It's such a blessing that we have the holiday season to remind us all of the great things we've accomplished since last Christmas, and then to make resolutions for how much better we'll be next year! Anywhoo, I'm very excited to celebrate the season this year, it's the first Christmas in my marriage and the first for Monroe! Two firsts! Wheeeeeee!!! And I know we're all excited that the Griffiths are able to make the trek out for a few weeks! I hope we all have a chance to spend some time together this holiday season, but we all know that life gets crazy. So if we can't, here is a wonderful blog for everyone to communicate! Happy Holidays!

P.S. I obviously didn't have any pictures of Monroe from last year (ok well she is in the pictures with me but you can't see her) so I added this one. Just because she's so darn cute.

P.P.S. I added something to everyone's list so that we can all see where the lists are. And I put the lists by family, because seriously we have so many people I figured a little consolidation couldn't hurt. Just make sure to appropriately label the items on your lists with who they're for (although I think we could probably figure it out either way.)
