Our Story

Ben and I met in 1996, began dating in 1999 and married in 2001. Now 20 years and 2 children later, we have returned to where our life together began. Ben works for the Federal Reserve and I have the privilege of staying home with our two precious boys.

Christmas at Mimi's

Last weekend, we went to Mimi's to celebrate Christmas. As always, the boys loved every minute spent with Mimi and had a great time playing with Uncle Chad and Aunt Ashley!

 High-fiving Uncle Chad

"The stockings were hung by the chimney with care"

Just us

Then all of us

 And finally it was time to open presents...
 Ethan had been asking for 3 nights to open presents and he was so ready!

And he racked up!

Caden was excited, too, and seeing his face was priceless!
 



 Then it was time for the adults to play Secret Santa...
 Maw-Maw and Zeke drew the first two numbers
 
Ashley making the tough decision...what to choose, what to choose???

And Ben ended up with the gag gift. He's a huge fan of the movie, but the lamp was another story...Christmas story, that is ;-)


Sweet brothers playing on Caden's new bulldozer after breakfast the next day. 
Love, Love, Love the moments when they are sweet to each other!!!

When we returned home that evening, Lauren came to play and did an advent activity with the boys while Mommy got to unpack. Which was totally awesome!
