Happy Anniversary to us!

Today we celebrated our 13th Anniversary.... I can't believe that so much time has just zipped on by. It only feels to me like we have been together a "few" years, but when you replace "few" with the number 13.... Wow! We are so blessed to have the opportunity to grow old together! At times the road of marriage has been a little bumpy, but I would not change that for anything. It has only made the ride that much more interesting. I truely feel the hand of God blessing our lives and family each day.... Some secrets of our happy marriage.... Tony's advice... "Roll with the punches"....My advice... Don't ever stop dating your spouse... Even to just take a walk, eat brunch, or just sit on the beach together with out kiddies... We love them, but time together as a couple is extremely theraputic.... Reasons why I love Tony... He rubs my feet with lotion as frequently as I ask, he usually smells nice, he does his own laundry, he makes the best french toast, primerib, and BBQ'd salmon in the world, he always lets me go shopping with out the kids, And he hardly ever presses the snooze button... The list goes on and on... I love you Honey!

Merry Christmas....2008

All smiles this morning! Santa finally came after we went to bed. We tracked him on NORAD, and at 9pm last night he was in Canada. Thank goodness that Rudolph's nose is so bright!

Christmas Dinner

Here is a picrure of the Haddenhammies feasting on Prime Rib. It was so tasty and tender! Daddy has really mastered his Christmas dinner skills. We love you all and hope everyone has enjoyed their day today! We are now watching "A Christmas Story" and drinking eggnogg. "You'll Shoot Your Eye Out Kid"

Our Cabin Trip........

Here is the cabin we stayed in last weekend at Cama Beach.... We were so excited to get some snow! The kids had lots of fun.... We drank hot cocoa, ate chocolate fondue, played games, listened to christmas music and just RELAXED!

Our trip to Cama Beach

Nina and Tanner had so much fun in the snow! They wanted to bring some home, but we assured them there would be plenty waiting for us.... These were taken on the porch of our cabin on sunday morning.... The water view was sooo beautiful, and we can hardly wait to go back and spend more time chillaxing.... Anyone want to join us?

Nina visits with Santa Claus

Nina got to sit on Santa's lap and tell him all the fun stuff she wants. Thank goodness she still believes! As for Tanner... he cried when it was his turn to visit Santa.... Sorry, no picture of the crying 3 year old... We waited in line for 2 hours to see him... I really think I'm crazy... Seriously, we are buying our own Santa costume and Tony is going to just pretend to be Santa next year! Ho ho ho!
