December 22nd, 2001

Ten years ago today I married my high school sweetheart. We were young, in love, and had lots of plans for our future. It has not always been an easy road but we can both say that the Lord has blessed us immensely!  Ethan, I love you and want you to know that I would still choose you to walk this journey with.

Picture recap

December is flying by! Here's what the Andersons have been up to these last couple weeks:

Daddy disapproves of headbands/chapstick for Noah. It was too cute though so I had to get a picture.


Noah helps himself to a snack.

Emma performs in her first dance show.

They were pretty cute!

Family 2011

Here's some our family pictures taken by the very talented Bekah. Can't believe how much our kids have changed in a year! Now time to get those Christmas cards out...



Love the scenery but don't know what's up with Ethan and Emma's smiles? We've decided that she has Ethan's smile and Noah has mine :)

For some reason she did this with her teeth in almost every picture...still cute though.

I really like this one!

The teeth again...

Throwing leaves!


Noah's signature smile

Loves his sticks

He's our little charmer
 
Clap those hands!

A couple of them together. Noah was on the move!

Thankful hearts

Our camera has been replaced so I finally have some pictures to post! We enjoyed a few days at the Messerlys for Thanksgiving in Manchester and then an evening at Pizza Ranch with the Crims. We set up and decorated our Christmas tree Sunday night. Emma thoroughly enjoyed decorating and Noah had more fun just throwing ornaments around. After spending the weekend with family, I am so thankful for both of our families. It is such a blessing to be part of families that want to be with each other and enjoy one another.

Things around my house have been crazy lately with just day to day messes and the beginning of the holiday season. I love Christmas though and everything that comes with it. Emma is so excited and I know Noah is going to be so much fun this year. This is the only year they'll be four and one and we'll never be able to go back so we're going to enjoy it. Bring on the baking, crafts, shopping, and wrapping, we are ready and looking forward to celebrating the birth of our Savior this season!
