Christmas 2007

Christmas was sooo much fun! We had Christmas Eve and my dads house! It was really fun! Heres Tate driving around in their backyard!

We spent Christmas morning with my mom and all my family! We all had so much fun! I look so tired! I got so many wonderful things, Santa bought me a new desk (I guess she was tired of Ryan and I having our computer on some storage containers!) We also got the most beautiful new table!

Granny and Pop bought all the grandkids a new swing to share at their house!

It was so cute and so much fun watching Tate open all his MANY presents! I had so much fun and got so many wonderful things! Everybody thank you sooo much!

The day after Christmas Ryans family came to visit all the way from Wyoming! We have done all kinds of fun things! We did all kinds of shopping, they went to Rawhide, then they left for 4 days and went to Las Vegas, I couldn't go because of work. It was a fun trip and we were so glad to get to spend time with them!

Ryan and his sister Tiffany at Rawhide!
Ryan and his famiy gearing up for the week!

New Post!

I promise a new post is coming soon. Christmas and New Years were great.. I have lots of stuff to blog and show pictures of! Ryan and his family went to Las Vegas for a few days (couldn't go had to work) he took the camera so as soon as he gets back ill post some new fun pictures like of the fantastic table santa bought me from Rustic Hutch!!

P.S isn't my new background the cutest!! Its bc I liked it and that its almost Valentines Day!

Gingerbread Houses!

So on Tuesday all the Monroes plus a few friends got together to make gingerbread houses!! We had so much fun! All the houses turned out sooo cute, ok some better than others! Braden's friend Jeremy came and built a ski lodge, we all decided he is not allowed to come next year!

(I want to live here!)

SO this year Lindsay made a kit...I think thats how Im going to do it next year, I like the decorating part..not so much the building part!

Ryans...his reminded me of Merlins home in Sword in the stone!

Ha Braden won for most frosting used!

Everyone said mine looked like a space ship...I don't think so maybe more like an adobe house! I had the best fence! I liked Britts, she usually goes all out but she wasn't feeling that great this year.

Last but certainly not least, Bobs, he won for getting done the quickest! SO much fun guys...Im going to win next year!

Let it Rain, Let it Rain, Let it Rain!!

So this weekend and week have been COLD!!!! So this weekend Ryan and I were so cold we thought it would be fun to start up the old fire place!! It was so Fun and warm!! I didn't think it was ever going to get cool enough this winter!! So after sitting in front of the fire place with my peppermint hot chocolate and sweatshirt...it finally feels like Christmas!

Tradition Dinner

So once a month on Friday sometimes Saturday all the "Monroes" get together and have dinner. THe point of it is to get together see everyone and try something new. The get together is self explanitory but the try something new is every month a different person gets to pick and it has to be a resturant that nobody (or maybe 1 person) has been too, thus something new! WEll this month is was Ryans turn to pick...everybody is trying to save there pennies so we can buy Christmas gifts....so we had BYOD (bring your own dinner!) at my house this month! It was so much fun!! We all ate KFC, yes it wasnt something new, then we had a Christmas thought (thanks mom!) then we played DVD clue, I won!!! (thanks Ryan!) then we played Killer bunnies...yay Linny!!! It was a good time!!! Yes even though technically Erin and Jeramy aren't Monroes they were for that evening! They came with the house!!! Plus it was fun having them there but they ditched out early so they could go to a play!! Thanks everybody Tradition dinner was fun as usual...heres some fun pics of it. (yes mainly of Tate, but hes so cute!!!)
