Christmas 2012

We had a fabulous Christmas season!

Our ward had a wonderful Christmas party.  It was so fun having Benson participate in the nativity.  He loved it and even knew the song!  But he hated Santa and wouldn't sit on his lap  We'd been talking about it for a couple days and he was pretty excited but when the time came he started screaming and would only watch everyone else.  Lucy was fine with him.




 
We saw/walked the lights on Candy Cane Ln with some friends.


Since we were heading to Utah Santa came mid December.  Benson and Lucy loved opening presents.




I love visiting home!  Being with family and friends is something that really makes Christmas for me.  We had family parties with both sides of the family.

Cute Joey and Josey (soon to be married!) Their song was beautiful!
 He loved this" motorcycle" and rode it until it snowed.

5 Years


Today is our 5 year anniversary!  It's been an amazing 5 years!  It seems like a whole lot has happened in just 5 years.  I asked Anthony the other night if he'd do it all over again if he had the chance and without hesitation he said "yes"!  I agree!



We courted and were engaged all of 3 months before our big day.  I was so happy to have found the most amazing man ever.  I love our life and all we've experienced together.  Thanks for a wonderful 5 years!


 It's exciting to think of what these next 5 years will bring!
