Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years and Everything In Between!

If I had done a Christmas card it would have said what a busy/awesome/exciting year we've had! We feel so incredibly blessed to be in Michigan in law school, to have the friends we have, and especially for our families. We've hit the half way mark of school and I'm a little bit sad, we're really enjoying this stage of life.

The highlight of the year was obviously Benson, we can't wait for him to join our family (we got a sneak peek at our 4D ultrasound we got for Christmas)...



I've spent most of the winter in Las Vegas for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years and have loved every second of it, which is possibly why I abandoned my blog for so long!

Thanksgiving was just how I like it, traditional, good food, and the whole family together...




At Christmas time this year we had our semi-annual soup party and made 8 different kinds of soups and treats, threw a big family Christmas party, shopped and shopped, spent Christmas Eve with Brandon's family and went to a late dinner at Lawry's with my family, opened presents (Benson even scored a few), and spent some quality time with our families...





A few days after Christmas my aunt threw me a dang cute shower and lets just say, Benson is going to be decked out. I can't get over the quilt my aunt made- it's amazing, Brandon's mom put together the cutest diaper cake, and we pretty much got spoiled!



We rang in the new year with Katee's 20th Birthday and a big party...


We're definitely looking forward to 2010 and what the new year will bring!

Your 4D pics got me motivated to actually call a place to get mine done! I'm so excited after seeing yours! Your Christmas looks lovely, what a wonderful family you have!

His quilt is so cute! Now I have a good idea about what colors you like and I would love to make you a baby sling if you want one! I love having a ring sling but if you already have one, I'll make you something else you want!
