6 Deans + a Dog

My favorite part of Christmas is getting these cards in the mail! :)  Every year I take down our tree a couple days after Christmas and the door is usually included.  This year I'm gonna keep them up through the month of January because it just makes me happy to see how many people we love and that we know love us!  We are truly blessed with the best Family and Friends! OH LIFE IS SO GOOD!!!  Happy New Year! :)  Bring on 2016...

 Rachel has been out on her mission for 6 months now.  That is crazy she is 1/3 of the way done.  She has grown so much in the 6 months that she has been out.  We are so grateful for her example and service! :) We Love you Hermana Dean!!!  See you in "2016"...

We had a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!  Our day started at 8:30.  We opened presents from Santa, headed to Ruthie and Robert's house at 10:30, came home and talked to Rachel from 12:30-1:45 on Skype (which was our Christmas highlight for sure:), and then headed to Judy and Rogers at 2:00.  It was a perfect day of spending time with the people we love most.  I am so unbelieveably grateful for our Savior Jesus Christ.  The more I try to be like him the happier I am! :) Thanks mom and dad for raising me in this gospel and teaching me at a young age of the importance of family and loving our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ! We are truly blessed!!

We did our annual bowling Christmas Eve day with the Nelson Clan!  Everyone came but Troy, Sairah, Rachel and Annie.  It was a great start to a fun Nelson filled day! :)

Our niece Morgan got engaged earlier this week to Keaton Perkins.  He asked her while they were visiting his mom in San Fransico :)  Keaton seems to fit in so well with the Nelson Family.  He is a lot of fun and we are super excited he gets to be a part of our crazy Nelson group!  Congrats! We love you guys!!! xoxo

 We had our "3rd" annual Happy Party with the Denning family.  We met at Spaghetti Factory ate some yummy food and then headed to our house.  Mike found these decorations in the closet we had from when we hosted a happy party with our highschool friends :)  Nick was the first one out, Jon took 2nd and Lindz was the big winner this year.  We missed Rachel :(  Life is never dull with the Denning family!!! 

We love you guys! xo
