Happy New Year!

We had a fun evening bringing in 2022 with great friends. Claire, Abigail, and Annalee managed to make it until midnight and had fun doing the countdown! Praying 2022 keeps us all safe and healthy and brings everyone many blessings!

 

Cancun, Mexico for Christmas!

We were super blessed to spend Christmas with my side of the family this year in Cancun, Mexico. We had a great week filled with many wonderful memories and way too many photos! Here are just a few of the wonderful pictures we took to capture the great time we had together!

 

Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday Jesus!

 Since we were away over Christmas, Claire made her traditional birthday cake for Jesus when we got home and we celebrated Christmas.

Claire enjoyed opening her presents and seemed to like most of them!

Her final present was a giant bean bag that she has been asking for for over 2 years! I have to admit, Jeff and I find it very comfortable as well so it was a good family gift we can all use and enjoy! This picture is when it just came out of the box....it got MUCH larger!

 

Animal shelter time!

We finally got to volunteer again at the animal shelter. Claire had a great time because we were able to take some dogs out for a walk and play time, which we hadn't been able to do before.

Lots of time was spent just loving on the sweet dogs at the shelter since there was not much work to get done!
