Happy Holidays!

<---- Curran had a wonderful time going down this big 'ol slide! Below is a picture of myself with my sister on my 30th birthday. We went to a murder mystery dinner theatre in Denver and had a blast!
















To the right you can see Aric on a giant cow statue that we found in downtown Denver. This was taken while we were wandering around waiting for the dinner theatre to start.










Avery was very happy to leave Santa milk and cookies.

He also likes relaxing with Tia Erika (below).













----> Our 2008 Christmas tree. We went with peacock colors: dark blue, green and purple.

This is the centerpiece that I built...

<--Here are the centerpieces that I made for Thanksgiving. All done with stuff around the house and mother nature. The quaich we used at our wedding also graced the table and began our meal with a sense of sincere affection.









Here --> are the monkeys that helped me collect the leaves and acorns to create the centerpieces that I made for Thanksgiving. Don't they look cute? Avery thought it was funny to let Curran fall over, so this picture took about a dozen tries to get!










<-- Here is the meal that we served for the monkeys who helped me collect the leaves and acorns to create the centerpieces that I made for Thanksgiving. *whew* It was a long two days of prep, but it was totally worth it! Our friend Joshua made killer cranberry sauce and candied yams. Pam baked cookies and everyone helped watch the kids, even Doug! Thanks for a great meal together you guys!
