December Summary

Remember this face?


Well, there is a new smolder in town....


Complete with all the drama of his sister, and then some...


 Seriously couldn't get enough of his haircut...he looks like such a big boy now!!!



A highlight for December was definitely advent for the kids - they loved opening their envelopes each day!!! Here they are with the product of their "build a snowman" card:-)




December ushered in some crazy weather for us!!! The kids loved it, the adults...not so much!!!


We still did schoolwork throughout December, but then took a 2 week break over Christmas. It was the first time that Mark has ever taken that much time off work, and it was SO nice!


With the huge ice storm that hit just before Christmas, we were the only members of Mark's extended family that still had power! So that being said, we became the warming house for family! It was certainly a Christmas to be remembered! The kids thought it was the best Christmas ever...but after about 3 days or so, us parents were wondering if it really was...Lol...but actually it was nice...crazy but nice. It made us all just slow down and enjoy each other and ultimately brought about a whole new sense of gratefulness for all that we DO have and enjoy on a daily basis. We truly are blessed!

He sure does!!! And people seem to be obsessed with playing with his hair. I will have it styled for church, and he will come back home, having been "pet" by everyone, and his hair is absolutely huge!
