I Want to Know

I've been thinking about this for a while now...with these blogs so inter-connected considering this blog {my design/color blog} tells of the inspiration behind what I design and showcase on the Anastasia Marie: Handcrafted Cards & Stationery blog. Should I combine those two blogs together as one?

2011 Begins in Sunriver

Happy Monday! How was everybody's New Year weekend?

This New Year I headed on down to Sunriver again {same plans as last year} with five couples {that includes me and the hubby} and a set of lovely single ladies. Saw some pretty amazing views, which led to me really appreciating the land I live on. Washington and Oregon are simply beautiful! 

Kae & Alla look ecstatic to finally have arrived to all the snow! And my sister Tanya {way in the background} looks even more excited...

Too cute of a snowman family to not take pictures with. My husband and I jumped at the chance.

We also decided to get our classroom school pictures taken...

Kae was everywhere with her camera...and I mean everywhere! And yes, I like my feet.

Daniel found a ginormous icicle {who knows where} and the boys decided to have some healthy fun.

We girls thought something else was more fun to do {The Young Victoria is one of my most favorite movies}...

I totally loved all the color I found in the sports stores in the Sunriver Village. It's a bit of a random set of pictures to post, but I just had to.

So that was a small glimpse into our trip. We spent a few days eating good cooking, engaged in wonderful fellowship and prayer, playing a load of board games, throwing snowballs, taking snowy walks, and just enjoying being around our good friends. Praise God for such times!

Christmas with the Family

Happy Monday everyone!! My hubby has the day off of work today, so I decided to take an extra day off as well. And to make sure I didn't forget about you or the fact that it's a working Monday, here's a mini post for you...

A few pictures of Christmas evening at home with my family over! It was short and sweet since we had to compete with my church's evening Christmas concert :) but it turned out lovely just the same! Did everyone have a Merry Christmas? I'd love to hear about what you were all up to!

{You can tell we're still trying to get our new camera to function how we want it to. Each picture has different lighting...oh boy...}
