Colorado Baby Shower

We have quite a bit of family that lives in Colorado between Brett and I, so my Aunt Jeanell so kindly threw us a baby shower while we were there visiting!  We had such a wonderful time with everyone and are so appreciative of all the gifts we received.  Cade is going to be one blessed little boy!

Christmas Time

Christmas Eve we headed over to my dad's house to spend the evening with my dad, Christie and Braxton.  We went to church and then came back had some dinner and open presents.
