Christmas Stockings

Debbie had these cute chubby stockings for her family that I had loved and wanted to replicate them for our own little family.  Even before Jeff and I had started to have kids I found this cute snowman matching material at Walmart and decided to plan ahead and to make some stockings for our future family.

Dennis and Debbie came to visit us right before the Thanksgiving Holiday for the weekend and we were so happy to have them here.  I asked Debbie to help me start the stockings and of course she was more than willing to show me the correct way to sew them.  I was so proud of myself because this was one of the first sewing projects I had accomplished! They turned out so, so very cute.  I even freehanded the names on the sewing machine.  I'm thankful for such a sweet Mother-in-law who didn't hesitate to help me with this project. We had a fun time doing it!

The weekend wouldn't have been complete without a couple of games of Qwirkle!

The finished product! 

Debbie was so sweet and brought me a big can of Starbucks hot chocolate mix because she knew it was my favorite!  Doo Doo and Jeff went to the bike store and I think he found a new toy that he wants!  AnnaB loves spending time with her Papa.  It's so nice having people come to visit us.

Bowling Date Night

We were getting anxious to have a date night and to rekindle our looooove!  Thankfully Celeste Stephens in our ward agreed to babysit you so that Dad and I could go out on a doub date with the Adams. The bowling alley here in Kingman is surprisingly really nice and we had such a fun night with  Scott and Rach!  I have no technique to my bowling, and Jeff always laughs at me how I just end up dropping the ball down the lane.  Regardless of how bad my skillz are we still had such a great time.  If anything we got a lot of laughs from how each of us bowl!  We played 2 games and called it a night.
