Holidays

I havent posted in forever so I thought I should post about the holidays...better late than never! Last year I was sooo crazy busy but I did get the Christmas tree up and decorated. This year...hmmm....I put the tree up and put one ornament on the tree. I've realized you accomplish so much more when life is busy and I owe this naked tree to just not feeling like doing much of anything since graduation. I know its sad and my new year resolution is to not enjoy the couch as much as I have been :)

We spend Christmas Eve with my family and Christmas day with Zac's and it works out really well. All the nieces and newphews get to open thier presents and it is so much fun to watch them. They also do the nativity scene....although this year it didnt work out so well. I didnt manage to get one picture of all of them :)


Here is Zac and I watching the kids do the nativity scene.

Gavin was sooo excited to get this gift from Grandma. Grandma tried to take a picture of him and the gift but he only wanted a picture of the gift because it was sooo cool. I managed to get a picture of both. The next morning Zac and I woke up early had our Christmas then went off to the annual Hoover Breakfast.

Every year we have a family challenge at the Hoover house. Its a lot of fun. Each year is a different challenge. Zac and Ifound these guns that had planes that you can shoot off the end several months ago and we knew we had to get them for the challenge...and they were 88 cents each so you cant beat that either.


It was windy outside but we managed to make the planes fly. The Hoovers love a competition and I think this year Jeremy won! We will see who wins next year. Here I am showing off my skills....lol. I was the worst of them all!!

Boys will be boys. As you can see the boys loved shooting these planes and had lots of fun. You can only imagine what they did with those guns. I took pictures but decided not to post due to the content...but they were hilarious!

Hope everyone had a great holiday and thanks to everyone who sent us Christmas cards. They were all so cute and greatly appreciated! Once we have kids we too will send them out but for now just know that we love you all!!

I am sad I didn't get to visit with you more the other day. Thank you so much for being there, you and Zac are such great friends. Why don't we get together more.
It looks like your Christmas was fun, Hoover boys don't change, they all look the same and fool of it.
