New couch, etc.

Before Donovan and I headed to Utah for Thanksgiving, we found a new couch! The couches we had before were purchased at an auction when we first moved to Iowa, so you can imagine how awesome they were...we just had to give them up. As you can see, Donovan is doing a very good job breaking it in for us. I know Lenna, I'm sorry Donovan is wearing Addi's hat...he really likes pink.


We had fun with Addi a couple of days this week too. She changed so much in the weeks we were gone! Her personality is really coming through now, she's so much fun. Donovan loves when she comes over and he's very good with her now that she's a little bigger. He kept giving her hugs the other day, it was so cute.
Donovan stayed up and watched part of the Barcelona game last night with Bradley and me. Brad loves to watch Barcelona and Donovan loves watching almost anything with Brad so they get to spend some manly bonding time together.


Merry Christmas on Friday! It will be our first Christmas spent in Iowa, we usually fly to Utah over the holidays but decided to stay here this year. I'm sad that we won't be with all of our family, but I'm excited to have our first Christmas with just the 3 of us.


I know this is shorter than usual, but I'm feeling very domestic today so I'm making rolls for neighbors, stew for dinner, and cookies for later. Merry Christmas, we miss you all!

Finally, a new update. Took ya long enough... :) You'll find that Christmas with your little family is nice. You have time to focus on each other and enjoy time together without too many distractions. We've often had the big Thanksgivings with tons of family, but tried to keep it more intimate for Christmas. That was OUR holiday. Merry Christmas to you kids and to all the blog readers, too.

We're not going home for Christmas this year either :( This will be my first Christmas not spent with my family - at first I had a REALLY hard time with it but now I'm actually looking forward to spending the holiday just Seth and I...although I really have no idea what we're going to do - we don't have a kid to entertain us! Haha.

Colin wanted to watch the videos of Donovan over and over and over and over.... You get the idea. I think he misses you guys. He kept chanting DeAnna while we were looking at the blog. I have to be careful when I mention your names because he knows who you are now and he thinks if I say your name that it means you are coming to see him. Have a great Christmas and we'll see you when we see you.

Rolls for neighbors? Wow you are ambitious. I like the new couch. It really opens up your front room! I'm glad Dvan is enjoying Addilyn again. I'm sure he keeps her pretty well entertained! Hey...you aren't all alone for Christmas. We'll have a semi-Silvey Christmas Eve! Can't wait!

I love your couch. And it looks like Donovan is ready for a little sister... :)

I love that after repeating everything Bradley said, the "cheese" at the end. Cute voice singing Jingle Bells too. I know you will have a great Christmas even without us all. It will probably be less stress for sure. Enjoy! Merry Christmas to all of you- love you and miss you!
