We're off for the Holidays!

We just wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas! We leave today to head back east to share this wonderful holiday with the family.

We also wanted to take a moment and say how much our family and friends mean in our lives. We are so blessed to have so many amazing people like you to look up to and share our lives with. There is no gift big enough or words that can say just how much we love each of you and are so grateful for you. We want to wish you a very Merry Christmas. May your home be blessed with the spirit of the Lord. Our lives are nothing without him and I am so thankful for that precious gift that our Father in Heaven gave us so long ago.

Merry Christmas,

Love,

Joe, Stefani, Noelle, Emily, Lizzy and soon to be baby Ireland

The joys of snow!

First of all I have to say, thank heaven for husbands! We had quite the snow storm on Saturday and the girls just could not wait to go outside and play in it! These days I am still sick on the couch but Joe, the wonderful man he is, came home from work and took them right out to play in it. This pile is what was removed from our driveway. Emily and Joe made it into a snow cave...

Just about time for some hot chocolate....

Big News

Well it is time for the Ireland's to hit the road again. Joe accepted a position with Piedmont Airlines and starts in January. They are a subsidiary of US Airways and a great start for any pilot, way to go Joe! We are so proud of you!! The girls and I will stay in Utah until after his training and then late February, early March it will be time to load up the U-Haul again. North Carlina here we come, do you think they will be able to stand us California/Utah girls? :)

We are very excited to live by family, Dad, Mom, Stacia, Aunt Sharon, Uncle Jerry and Granny Jo here we come, we can't wait to see you all! I can't tell you how much we will miss everyone here, we will save the tears for February though.

The sweet smell of cinnamon!

This afternoon we started working on some Christmas things and decided to make the present toppers. This year we chose cinnamon ornaments and the girls had a wonderful time!

This was followed by mom getting sick from the smell of cinnamon filling the house (that silly prego nose) but it was well worth it!

Merry Christmas!

Happy Happy Thanksgiving!

We had such an amazing Thanksgiving thanks to Nana, Papa and Uncle Chris. Here is a shot of the girls making a gingerbread house with Uncle Chris...




















Lizzy and Uncle Chris are like two peas in a pod and they had so much fun playing together. The girls also got to make a pie with Nana. Emily picked pumpkin pie this year...

It was just so nice to spend time with family, we miss all of you guys out here. It was hard to say goodbye but Christmas is now well on its way and we need to get decorating! :) Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving too!
