Trying to have Christmas Cheer

So I was trying to be all festive and change my background to something that shows the holiday season and I shouldn't have because I lost all the first pictures I put on. So after Christmas when I don't want this background, what do I do? Let me know if anyone has any ideas!

Anyway, the only picture I care about was of Brett graduating! So I am putting that one back on.

Thanksgiving Holiday!

We had an awesome Thanksgiving this year! The food was amazing and the company was excellent, its always so fun to be with family! The Saturday after Thanksgiving is a Christmas Tree Tradition for us! This year, since there isn't much snow, we went up to our family cabin and did some work, rode four wheelers and found our tree's! It was so much fun and the weather was amazing.


Everything was so beautiful






Thanksgiving was at Chad and Trisha's house this year, they really out did themselves! (Hill's Uncle & Aunt)

How We Got Started...

I have had friends and family say that we should have a blog spot so that everyone can see what we are up to and that it is really easy. They are so cute and fun but it looked too hard to me so I never did anything about it! For those of you who don't know, we are currently going through the adoption process and are soooo excited to start our family. Several people have told us its a good idea to get your adoption story out there so that family and friends can spread the word. So I am now motivated to get this working! So bear with me on this, it is going to be a work in progress!
