The Chritsmas Season Pictures

Due to our Computer DRAMA, I am going to post a SLUE of pictures. Bare with me...there are tons. I just couldn't pick a couple, sorry. Some of my favorite are Maddie putting out the carrots for Santa's reindeer, Gracie getting smoohes from Landon, Maddie getting hugs from G.G. Snellink, Maddie coming down the stairs Christmas morning and...well some sweet cheeks. :) She asked Santa ( who was at Great Northern in Down Town Rockford and FANTASTIC by the way) for a fish for Christmas. Santa delivered, and we are now proud owners of "Nemo" (surprise with the name, I know). :) She says 'Hi nemo' every morning. :)

We hope everyone had a wonderful and blessed Holiday!! See you all in the New Year!!

Computer Cord DEAD

Of course...Perfect timing!! Our computer power cable is dead. I'm at my Mom's and wanted to post a note so you all didn't think we fell of the face of the earth! :D We hope to have a new one next week some time.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!! We love you and hope you have a safe and wonderful holiday!

It's a GIRL!!

A huge congratulations goes out to Donovan and Kristen on the arrival of their little GIRL!! She is absolutely beautiful. She was born yesterday morning, weighing in at 6 and 1/2 lbs. and 18 inches long. As of last night she was "Sophie" but they weren't COMPLETELY sure. HA! I LOVE IT. :D Both Mom and baby are doing fabulous. Congrats on such a gorgeous family.

Another part of the clan...

Another part of the Hosford clan will be joining us in August!! Congratulations Dan and Tracy!! We love you guys soooo much. Please take a second to read their post.

Going to the Christmas Parade

Yesterday morning we went to the Rockford Christmas Parade. Melissa and Jackson met us at our house and we walked in the chill to downtown Rockford. We met the Matloz's, and the Hagers as well. The parade was great, but it got COLD. Here are some cute shots of our walk down and then Melissa reading to the kids while we all warmed up after our walk back.
