Merry Christmas!

We had an amazing Christmas at home this year. We celebrated two days early due to work, but the kids loved it, and so did we. We opened gifts in the morning, ate a nice breakfast, then headed up to Mt. Graham to enjoy the beautiful snow. Enjoy the pictures!

Just had to share these...

Yeah, weird background, I know. We were out visiting our land and the kids wanted to sit together on the back of the car. They are incredibly cute too.

Evan was so excited for his Christmas party at preschool today. He is grown up so much in the past 6 months. Madilyn has too--she's talking so much now! I am so blessed to have the family that I do.

Christmas begins Gardner style...

... with adorable faces glowing from the lights of the tree.

Dream of a new home...

We recently purchased 1.7 acres of horse property in Pima, and hope to build there someday when it's payed off. We love the views, and after living on a busy street directly across from a college football stadium, we are so in love with the peace and quiet there. We go out at least once a week to walk around the land, rock hunt with the kids, and dream about the possibilities of the future. We are incredibly excited to build our dream home here someday.

I love Madilyn's red hair and have been so inpatient waiting for her to get more of it. Then I'd have to style it! She is so fun though!
