Papa's 60th Birthday Party!

For Papa's 60th Birthday we threw him a very special & groovy party.

Christmas 2011

Our Christmas Eve tradition, dinner at Houston's

Christmas Tree cutting

Joe and I got to cut down our very own christmas tree from the Russell's property. It was a fun little hike to find the perfect tree. Since there are so many huge trees the ones that look "small" really are not! Our tree ended up being about 10 feet tall! It takes up the whole living room but we love it. It is really our first big tree, pretty!

Kittens!

When I was in San Diego Joe surprised me with 2 new little additions to our family! Lulu and Vito! Vito has a cute little moustache and a spunky personality. Lulu is a soft and sweet little girl. They are brother and sister and love to play all day long, it's so funny they tackle each other and roll around, it's the cutest! They also love to sleep and cuddle.

At first when Joe said he got 2 I was like, whaaaa?! But now I'm so happy because they definitely keep each other company and are best friends. Now for tons of kitten pics!--I don't know what I'm going to do when we have kids, i'll probably post millions of pics! (or be way too busy to post at all ;)

Lilli & Erik's Engagement Party

Rudy & Larry hosted an engagement party for Lilli & Erik. It was a Mexican Fiesta and a ton of fun--thank you to Rudy & Larry for hosting soooo many Schierman events! (my wedding, Alexis & Josh's engagement party, Lil & Erik's engagement party and countless birthdays and dinners!)
