A post to catch up on the month of December

joel and i had a wonderful anniversary. my dad and stepmom watched the twins while we went out for sushi, did a little shopping and attempted to go to the hot tub. these past 2 years have flown by. i love our life, our family and all that we have been able to accomplish. happy anniversary!

we had some friends over for dinner that we hadn't seen since the beginning of my pregnancy and finally got to show off our nearly 1 year old twins! when we were about to eat dinner we found miles on the stairs in the basement asleep!!! how and why he ended up here like this we will never know.

this winter miles became a fan of pee wee herman and watched the forever old christmas special. pee wee makes snow angels and so miles could not wait to try it out. ps. our step dad dana worked on that show!

this was the LACLAIRE family christmas party. we had a delicious mexican christmas dinner with Sandy's famous black eye bean dip (BIG HIT) and then we opened presents. we didn't get landyn until most of the presents were open and miles had already opened transformer pjs. which wouldn't have been bad except then landyn opened star war pjs. fyi: landyn in slightly obsessed with transformers and miles equally with star wars. so being the nice boys that they are, they traded :D

it was a great evening. the only thing missing was the rest of the laclaires!

the night was finished up with some cards and halo!

then my mom came into town and spent a lot of quality time with her favorite grandchild. we also went to tucano's for joel's free birthday meal. the twins loved it! :D

okay. i am still trying to find our christmas, park city and sealing pictures. i may seriously have to have weedle post her slide shows on my blog. :D next up will be the twins bday which is just one week away from tomorrow!!!!
