Cancun Baby

In a few months this is where I'll be chilling for a solid week!

Our amazing Grandparents.

It's official... It's REALLY happening. We've been talking about going on a big vacation with my mom's side of the family for such a long time, years in fact. It's finally happening, my Grandparents are taking us all to Cancun this spring. Yes! you are correct if you're thinking we've got the greatest Grandparents in the world. This is not the only reason they are the greatest though, they are the kindest, most loving, giving, happiest couple I know and they are such a wonderful example to our family. We love and appreciate them so much!!!! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Ballif! We can't wait to spend an entire week hanging out with the fam in Mexico.

Dad opening our gift! now his yankee gnome has a buddy

Mom opening her gift from Scott and Jen. They put family

videos on DVD. It's been so much fun watching them all. She

was excited if you can't tell.

I love the holidays! This year was awesome. We kicked things off with our annual Ballif family party, which was great as always. We ate some yummy dinner, played the bells (my favorite part), and shot some balloons. Austin and I ended up winning $60!! Not too shabby. Thanks Grandma & Grandpa Ballif. Shannon and her family came into town and we had some fun times with them, Austin's brother Kyle and his family also came to town for Christmas so we kept going back and forth from family to family. It was a great time, we enjoy when the Fryer's and Hoffmann's visit. Christmas morning started with Austin and me opening our stockings and gifts from each other, then we went for hot chocolate and toast at Grandma & Grandpa Braithwaite's followed by snacks and gifts at the Hoffmann's house (Austin's parents). We then went straight to dinner and presents with my family, then to Grandma Hoffmann's for dessert, and finally back to the Hoffmann's for games and fun with the family. It was a great day, but it went by WAY too fast. For New Year's we went to a party at the church with our good friends. We spent the night eating, playing games, playing sports, and watching the boys home videos from when they were in High School. It was a blast!! I loved seeing what Austin and his friends were like back in the days before I knew them. We had a wonderful time with our friends and can't wait until next year. All in all Austin and I had a great 2010 and can't wait to see what 2011 brings our family!
