Life Together Is So Much Better!: January 2015

January 17-18

This weekend was in the mid 30s and all four of us got outside to enjoy some fun! Davis got to take his sled down the driveway with mom. He did get brave enough to try it alone and thought it was funny to watch me run after him down the hill.

Even Andie got to play fetch with the dogs (with Andrew's help). She looked so cut in her bright pink onsie and Packers hat!

Santa gave Davis blue snow dye. He had fun putting dye in very specific places in our yard. I hope he isn't too much of a perfectionist like his parents can be!

I think Andie was ready to come inside because she fell asleep, but Davis did not want the fun to end!

Later, we warmed up by the fire.

Davis got a kit to make some fun arts and crafts. These are some glasses he made one day. Don't they look great?

Grandpa Steve, Grandma Sheila, Uncle Seth, and our family went to see some lights one night he was on call. They were SO pretty!

Our Holiday Season certainly was merry and bright! It was also busy! December 20th all the Westendorf Family gathered together to celebrate Christmas and play. We started the day out getting family pictures. Who knew we cleaned up so well? The first picture is of the whole family- added two more babies in 2014! The next picture shows Grandpa Kevin and Grandma Norma with all the grand kids. Third, is the three older boys. These guys sure know how to have a good time together- AJ, Gavin & Davis.

After pictures we went out to the Westendorf Farm- opened presents, ate food, and played some more! We actually had all three boys laying together for a slumber party, but I wasn't awake late enough to get a picture of all three in the bed together. :)

December 21st- I turned 30. My family surprised me by taking me out to eat Friday night. Looking back at my twenties I realize a lot was accomplished- graduated college, started career, got married, bought a house, graduated with masters, had two babies... The list goes on and on. Hope to spend the next years enjoying all these blessings!

December 23, 2014 We headed to STA for a quick gathering. Uncle Sawyer asked Aunt Chelle to marry him!!!!!! What a surprise! We are very excited for these two!

December 24, 2014 Christmas Eve

Take a deep breath because our fun is has just begun! Davis and Andie needed a quick nap before church.

As always, our church had a beautiful service. Davis was excited to help out with the candles this year.

December 25th, Christmas Day

Santa came! Davis's excitement sure made the season fun!

Christmas evening we hung out at a hotel with Uncle Seth. Some of us even went swimming with the oldest three kids. Davis and Scarlett always have to be right next to each other.

December 26, 2014- opened presents at the Schulz Farm. Complete craziness! :)

Finally, time for us to play with our new toys. (You might notice Davis in the same clothes over these days... his new Batman pajamas are a favorite.)
