Good Morning Brooklee!!

Each morning I put Brinley right by her sister to help speed the process of waking her up. So, here is the greeting Brooklee gets from Brinley. Slobbers and all!!!

5th Anniversary

Couple of weeks ago Nic and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary. We were able to spend two nights in Greer (alone!!) Thanks Mom and Dad for taking the girls for us. Nic and I had a blast. Ate some really good food and went on a sleigh ride. The sleigh ride was a first for both of us. The sleigh was pulled by two BIG Belgium horses named Pat and Jill. We were able to see a herd of elk while we were whisping through the snow. It was so romantic and such a fun relaxing weekend. Happy #5 Nic!! I love you more and more everyday!!!

Annual FHE's at Gma & Gpa Finch's

For the past couple of years Nic's mom and dad host our family and Aaron and Jane's family for family home evenings around Christmas time. This years theme was "No empty chairs at our eternal table." We were given gifts to open for 12 days of Christmas. Each gift being something that we can bring to our eternal table. Such as knowledge, friendship, togetherness, etc. Its been alot of fun going over there for these activities as well as opening up a present each day for the last 10 days. They put alot of time and energy into these gifts and we sure appreciate them and love them very much.

Also, every year Nic's mom makes the grandkids new Christmas outfits. This year me, my sister in law Jane decided we would like skirts that matched the girls'. Once again, Mom completely outdid herself!! She sewed mine in seconds! I swear. These dresses are beautiful. Brooklee, Brinley and Nellie looked so beautiful. Brodey and Jax had new Christmas sweaters. They looked handsome as well.

i LOVE food!!!!

Brinley as you can see loves food. She is quite the little chunk these days. Brooklee was snacking on some cereal one morning and Brinley decided she had to try some too.
