The best Christmas present EVER!

We had such a wonderful Christmas. We started out at our house opening stockings on our bed. The boys were overjoyed with what Santa put in their stockings.

 After they opened their stockings for them we had a surprise gift. We announced that we're expecting OUR THIRD!! Needless to say, they were very excited. We solicited their help in keeping it a secret until we told all the grandparents.
 It was really hard to do.


 Okay, not too hard.


 When we finally got the boys to settle down long enough to share our good news they anxiously looked through the photo book and proudly waited until the last page where they could spill their secret. I had glued our Christmas card in to the back of the book last minute which shared that we're adding to our growing, wild, crazy, wonderful family. 2011 is ending with a bang.
 And the surprise was greater than we could have expected.
We're so excited to announce that we'll be expecting our 3rd mid-August. What a Christmas blessing and the very best possible Christmas present EVER.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Love,

Ryan, Greta, Kadyn, Kai, Boulder
AND BABY #3 on the way!
