We have a ONE year old!

Breiden turned one on Saturday! We had a very fun day together as a family and then had a party in the evening with our extended family. He had cake for the first time and he wasn't sure about it at first but soon dug right in and sucked on his fingers. Wayne and I can't believe where the time has gone. It feels like just yesterday we were waiting in the hospital for B to come out and now he's almost walking. Wow! What a blessing he is to us. We are so thankful for him and the wonderful personality that he has. He is our joy! (Pictures to come!)

THANK YOU!!

Christmas in Canada

I thought I better fill ya'll in on our fun trip to Canada. We decided to take an 18 hour drive up to Canada to surprise my family for Christmas. It was a great surprise too! No one even had a clue. We drove up to my parents house and we were going to put Breiden on the front step and ring the door bell but my mom was in the kitchen window and she saw us coming. There was screaming and crying and my dad thought that she had cut her finger. They were SOOOOO happy that we were there. They just couldn't quite figure it out! What fun! That evening some good family friends were hosting the annual gingerbread house party and so we showed up there. (The hostess was the only one that knew we were coming.) My sister and her family came a little later and we shocked them good...Heather kept saying, "Wait...what...how...?". The next day was Sunday and we decided to go to my best friend Erin's church to surprise her. There were tears and hugging and it was just so fun! She couldn't believe it. We had one more surprise visit to make and that was to my grandma. We waited until Christmas Eve when my mom and dad were planning on taking some lunch up to her home. We walked in a few minutes after them and she couldn't quite understand who this little baby was that my dad was holding! She told us that it was the best Christmas present ever!
All in all it was a well-worth-the-18-hour-drive-there-and-back trip! I'll be posting some pictures later!
Happy New Year!
