Every year for Christmas we get matching flannel shirts (from Pat's mom!) and we make home made cinnamon rolls. In addition, we get each other a new ornament and add ornaments from our travels from the year. Looking forward to new traditions in the future!

" I'm thrilled to write a recommendation for Elizabeth and Pat. I'm a mom of 3 (4, 6, 8 years old) so I know what it takes to be great parents. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Elizabeth and Pat. I first met them many years ago (I'm guessing it has been 6 or 7 years?!) when I found out that Elizabeth had a background as a nanny and was hoping she would babysit our daughter, who was pretty much a baby at the time. She jumped at the chance despite having a full-time job. It was immediately obvious how much she loves kids. Shortly thereafter I met Pat and could tell right away they would make the absolute best parents one day. It has been years and more babysitting nights than I can count and they have always exceeded my expectations of what it means to care for and love children. I have trusted them with all of my children for short and long periods of time including weekends away. There have been countless times when one or both of them has jumped in to help me with my kids and my kids have literally raved about them for days afterwards asking when will they be back or when can they go to Elizabeth and Pat's house. Not only will Elizabeth be an amazing mom, but one of things that has stuck with me the most is the times when I had a last minute request for help and Pat was quick to jump in. He was made to be a dad. My kids vouch for that every time they get to see him. Elizabeth and Pat are loving, kind, smart, very stable, fun, and pretty much the epitome of what ideal parents should be. This is THE couple you want to choose. I cannot say enough incredible things about the life filled with love that they would provide for a child. "
