6. Mary Colette's Baptism

Obviously welcoming a new member into the church is worthy of a celebration. We were blown away, and humbled with how much of our family made the trip to welcome and celebrate with us.



Grandma and Granddaddy made it extra special.


Mary Colette's Godparents Uncle Chris and Aunt Ruth.


 




7. The Mountain Bash

We took a trip to New Mexico for A Mountain Bash this year. It was so much fun and really low key, which is what I needed with a two month old.


"Hiking" with the little ones.


The whole gang.


At the top of the mountain.
This group rode the chair lift up.


What goes up...


8. Two new cousins


Brenna (can't wait to meet you)



Marielle, the quietest baby ever.


9. New Fire Home


With a new fire home comes...


Moving,


Lots of personal touches,


And guidance from a Jedi House-Fixer-Upper-Master,


And a whole lot of love and fun.

...and a new toilet, light fixture, paint, bead board, screw gun, bunk beds, couch, crown moulding, and the list goes on

10. Christmas


Strengthening relationships.


And forming new ones.



Counting Blessings



Happy New Year!

  5. What wonderful Christmas presents!
    Thanks so much for giving us this gift of spending the whole year in revue with our precious Amarillo family. And you saved the best for last.. the newest Take. Paul Thomas looks so mature, it shook me a little. Little Colette looks perfectly at ease and happy in his arms; and rightly so.
