Happy Holidays!


Happy Holidays!!!
Matt, Eli and I have had a wonderful year so far and are excited for 2011! Eli is growing and changing tons. He is a huge fan of Thomas the Train. He loves garlic pretzels and butter, just not together. Yes, butter. He even sneaks it! He loves preschool. He was just in the preschool holiday program. It was fun to see him up on the stage with a santa hat on. He even sang a song or two, the other songs he just stood there saying "daddy" cause he could see Matt and wanted to come and sit with him. The other day Matt said "I need a hug" to Eli. Eli looked at him and said "I need more trains" and walked out of the room. Eli loves running and spinning on the new floors downstairs! It is super funny.
Matt is keeping busy with work and his side business. He enjoys working with the youth at church. For my birthday he made me the most amazing photo book of our life together so far. It was amazing and took him many hours to complete. He is the best husband EVER! We have been watching Man vs. Food lately and making plans to cook up some of the amazing foods we see.
I have been crafting, wrapping and all the other holiday stuff we women do. I love this time of year; Christmas music, nativities, decorations, wrapping presents etc. I am so thankful for the birth of our Savior!
We are praying to adopt soon. We are fully aware that it is in the Lords hands. Thanks for all the love and support in that area.
