Bronco Playoff Game!

At the last minute we were able to get Bronco Playoff tickets so Jeff & I headed down to Denver for a little football weekend fun! Our friends Shuey & Tubby who are also big Bronco fans came down as well! Our good buddy, Mike Hayter owns an amazing bar down there called Hayters & Co. & we spent some good, quality time there!! I was bummed the other wives couldn't come, but I held my own with the guys & never lost a beer pong game all weekend (somebody has a new table at home! :)) The game was epic...it's already gone down as one of the best NFL games of all time...just wish the good guys would have won!

Hayter had these fun shirts made!

New Years Eve!

We had 11 families over to celebrate New Years Eve this year--it was very fun and very chaotic!! :) I loved watching the kiddos play & the adults even got in a little beer pong tourney!! We celebrated the ball drop at 10 for families that wanted to get home a little earlier--Jeff & I blew up about 70 balloons the night before & dropped them over our stairs onto the kids at "midnight" :)

Harper & Liv in their jammies!

Luckily Jenny grabbed the camera while we were dropping the balloons--it actually looked pretty cool & the kiddos were amped!

Kiss Time!! Ben stealing one from Maddy! :)

Livvy & Bryson who's 9--officially her first "crush" if that's possible at 3 1/2! :)

Whoa...Brady laying one on Tay Tay!!

Sweet Maddy

Brady & Jane--we were so glad Lez & Bryce & kiddos could come up for NYE!! Wish I would have gotten a few more pics of them!

Christmas Part 2

Even though we didn't spend Christmas with Lez & Bryce I had to include this sweet picture of my little niece on Christmas in her little outfit!! Soooo adorable.

Grammy & Grampy came up on the 26th and spent the day with us & we loved every second. We opened presents, played with our new toys & went to dinner together! We love Grammy & Grampy so much--so much so, that Liv decided at the end of the night she hadn't had enough time with them...made it pretty darn clear, in fact! :) Her plan worked out very well & the kiddos got to go down to Cody for the following weekend & had even more fun with them!! :)

Grampy with his special mug Brady made!

Liv & Grammy with her special mug!

Liv had to pose in her Husker cheerleading outfit--that's the main thing she had been asking for the last several weeks and Grampy delivered!!

Testing it out with Grampy!

Liv felt the need to try on Grammy's MSU sweatshirt :)

Brady in his Husker jacket!

We took family pictures on the timer--this one turned out pretty good!!

Don't ask...

I thought these were really cute

Christmas Part 1

Christmas was so much fun this year! The kids are at the perfect age where they both get it & the magic of the night is all consuming! :) On Christmas Eve we went to church then headed out to my folks' house to eat our traditional crab & cheese sandwiches & soup & celebrate Jesus' birthday with a birthday cake! Oh, and Santa made a stop at Nana & Papa's house while we were outside so we not only opened presents from Nana & Papa & Dusty & Gina but a couple from Santa too! We really missed having EJ & Jenee home but are excited to see them this weekend up at Big Sky! After opening gifts with everybody, the four of us headed home--the kiddos had a "sleepover" in Brady's bed & they were soooo excited & so.darn.cute. Jeff & I read them 'Twas the Night Before Christmas & they fell asleep while we got to work! :) So many special memories the next morning opening gifts in our new house--loved watching them come down the stairs & see all the goodies!

Papa checking on Santa's progress on the NORAD website...Brady thought he needed binocs for this...

Looking for Santa outside!

Brady had asked Santa at the Mall for a baseball helmet! :)

Livvy got a special princess doll & dress from Aunt Gina & Uncle Dusty!

Mom getting excited about a gift from Dad!! :)

Livvy has been WAY more into baby dolls lately...something tells me it has a little something to do with baby Blake!! :)

The kids with the special gifts to Nana & Papa

One of the gifts from Gina & Dusty to Brady was this sucker with a BUG in it!! HE WAS OBSESSED...ate the whole darn thing!! :) Pretty cute.

Christmas morning...waiting at the top of the steps!!

The kids got each other a gift...here is Liv giving Brady a thank you hug for her tea set!

Christmas night we celebrated my grandma's 90th birthday--our whole family made her a photo album--pretty amazing to have her baby picture on the front considering she grew up in an orphanage most of her life!
