2nd Anniversary

The 22nd of December was our 2nd anniversary. Unfortunately, Belton had school through that day so we had to work. It was National Ugly Christmas Sweater Day though so we went to school in our best gear and looked our finest on our anniversary. Justin's turtle neck has bows on it. It was awesome! After work, we spent some time with Talan and then Justin surprised me by taking me to the Melting Pot. I love that place! He also got me a new camera that I have been wanting for over a year for our anniversary. He is so good to me!

Here is a picture of us at the Melting Pot. He had arranged to have flowers on the table when we got there, we had our own private room, got a goodie bag with fun melting pot stuff in it, and they took a picture of us and framed it. He made the night very special. The best part was that it was a surprise!

First Trip to the ER

A couple weeks ago, Talan decided to be a superhero at school and jump off a table. Well, when he jumped he caught his feet and ended up hitting his head on a shelf causing a cut on his head that needed 5 stitiches. The best part of the story is that Justin was there picking him up. Anyway, we spent an hour and a half in the ER getting stitches. He did as well as you think a 2 1/2 year old would do getting stitches. This is him when we got home from the ER. We had trouble keeping him from jumping around that night. He was ready to get back to his old self within 30 minutes of getting his stitches. He was so brave!

Thanksgiving

I know Thanksgiving was about 3 weeks ago but I am just getting around to getting these pictures on the computer. We have been so busy lately along with every other family around this time of year.
Anyway, here are a few pictures from Thanksgiving. We spent Thanksgiving at my parents house then woke up and did the Black Friday shopping and headed to Nebraska Friday afternoon. We spent Friday, Saturday, and Sunday with Justin's side of the family with Thanksgiving dinner on Saturday and a visit to Santa on Saturday night.

I just think this picture is so cute! Talan is so into the racetrack that Justin got out for him to play with. It was Justin's when he was a little boy.

I just thought this was a great picture of Justin. Hehe!

We took a family picture while we were there for our holiday card.

"Is it my turn yet Daddy?!"

We weren't sure how Talan would do with Santa this year. Last year he didn't want to have anything to do with him. We took him up there, sat him on Santa's lap, and Talan started talking his leg off. It was awesome! We also got an amazing picture!

After Santa, we ran into a store to look at something and Talan found bicycle helmet and wouldn't take it off. Well, Nana and Papa thought it was cute so they decided to by it for him. It was a good idea though because he didn't have one anyway. He just kept saying, "I need it so I can ride my scooter."
