Nate turned 11 this year. I can hardly believe that I have a son that old. For birthdays we let the kids pick their birthday dinner. All year, since a visit at Uncle Dan and Aunt Anne's last Christmas, Nate has been telling us that he wanted prime rib for his birthday dinner and molten chocolate cake for his birthday cake. I had kind of hoped that he would forget about it but to no avail. He stayed firm and reminded me of it several times throughout the year. Therefore, Nate got a very awesome birthday dinner. Next year we have informed him he has to have hot dogs or something very cheap.
For his birthday he got a double-sided light saber and he and Jared have been enjoying battling each other.This year for Christmas it was just our family. We were able to have my sister Becca and her "friend" Nick over for dinner on Christmas Eve, which we really enjoyed. Sorry for those of you looking for pictures I was a slacker and didn't get any of Becca and Nick so you will have to ask Becca for them. On Christmas Eve we always give the kids new pajamas and slippers and then we read the Christmas story and sing some hymns to go along with it. We love this tradition and loved having Becca and Nick come and share it with us this year.

Christmas morning waiting to come down stairs.Ben and I have been married for 12 years today. We've had our ups and downs but I would not trade one second of the last 12 years for anything in the world! On Friday night we went out to dinner and then to see Sherlock Holmes. It was a really fun date and I actually really enjoyed the movie. Thanks for a wonderful 12 years. Happy Anniversary Ben!!
Bonnie took this picture of us before we left on our date. This was out on our front lawn. She did a great job.

Sounds like a busy month! I guess kids just get more expensive as they get older! :) Great sunset picture of you guys. I miss those Arizona sunsets, although Alaska ones aren't bad either. It is funny to see you in short sleeves. I never even go outside without a coat!
Congrats on the 12 years, and oh boy do I wish I was in Az wearing short sleeves right now.

Love you new set up. Thanks for the pictures and the update. We love these blogs. Tell Bonnie she did a great job of the picture. Happy Aniversary. You can't believe 11, try 46 in three weeks. Or worse have a oldest grandson that is 11. Love Y'all Mom & Dad
Happy Anniversary! Cute picture. It seems like we always take pictures of the kids but we don't get very many of "us" anymore. Very cute! Let's hang out again soon!
Your new blog lay out looks great. I love the picture of you guys on your anniversary. What a beautiful sunset! I am glad to hear things are going well and that your Christmas was so nice. I love it when we get to stay home for Christmas. There is just something magical about it. Wow, if you guys are at 12 years then it must be 11 for Ben and I. The years do go quickly. I am glad to see you happy! You found the perfect guy!
