holidays

december went by way too fast.

we spent it finishing up school, getting ready for christmas at work, and then going to washington for a much needed break.

washington was a wonderful whirl of family, friends, and food. the best things in life.

some of our highlights include:

3 days in the mountains with navarre family.

we stayed in cabins, went snow mobileing, hurt our rears sledding, played games, and enjoyed the beauty of washington mountains in the winter.

eskimo kisses keep you warm.

crazy family with our crazy hats.

playing in the snow.

time in the cabins.

we spent christmas going back and forth between our families.

it was great to see nieces and nephews and family. we miss alot being away.

like them growing up!

sisterly love. 

it was also wonderful spending time with close friends who live not so close now.

caleb was very patient while i enjoyed lots of girl time.

my forever love, elaina!

we loved going to washington and can't wait until we're near family again.

but missouri is good for now.

we have some great goals. not to be confused with new year's resolutions, which are easily broken.

so welcome 2011!
