Thoughtful Steve


Friday was a rough day around here for me. It's the Christmas season and I'm missing Steve terribly. The girls have been pretty rotten to each other and that makes it tough on everyone. I was lamenting my station in life when Steve emailed and asked if I had gotten a package from UPS yet? I hadn't heard any knocks on the door, but I went up to check anyway. Well- there on the doorstep was a box from proflowers.com. Inside was a gorgeous bouquet of flowers. But it was the note inside that made my day, made my heart melt and caused the tears to flow. Steve had sent those flowers for our anniversary of the first time we met in person. December 14th, 5 years ago, Steve flew up to Utah from Texas to confirm that I was the girl he wanted to marry for all eternity. What an incredibly thoughtful thing to do! I have the best husband in the entire world!

Some of those promised pictures

Here are a few of my favorites of the pictures we've taken for Steve so far (these have been harder than they look!)...

First of all, there's my Yoga Baby... how many 7-month-olds (let alone any age) do you know that can make and hold this pose?

Decorating the tree and the girls (I believe Mom said Geoff used to enjoy doing this to himself as well)
My tribute to "White Christmas"
Who wouldn't want to find this in their stocking Christmas morning?
And then of course the girls in their Christmas dresses this morning:To get the full selection of pictures, check them out here.

This Little Piggie


Okay, so I saw this done at the Sear's studio and thought it was so cute I needed to do it, too.

December Pictures


For part of Steve's Christmas present we are sending him a "picture of the day" for every day in December leading up to Christmas. We definitely have our work cut out for us. I'll share the best ones as we go. I just finished sewing my latest project and the girls wore them to church today. I'm quite pleased with how they turned out!
