CATCHING UP!!


Finally!!! I feel like I have 5 minutes to sit and Blog!! So, I thought I would just catch up on some of the fun things that have been happening since we moved into our new house!! (I still haven't taken pictures of the inside, for those who have requested those, I promise they are coming!!)

First of all, we just have to give a big THANKS! to our parents for coming out and helping us pack and move and tend, basically just save our lives! It was so fun to have them all here, and it honestly made the whole moving process, so much more pleasant! Here are some fun pictures of their visit here!





We were so proud of ourselves for getting the kitchen put together in time to have Thanksgiving Dinner around our new table! Until now, Jake and I have had a tall round 2 person table, which worked great fiiting into our small apartments. But to have us all be able to sit together around the table, meant so much to me!! It was so fun to have family here to celebrate our first holiday in our new home!





Of course, the post Thanksgiving Dinner Naps!!




The Grandma's!


Thanks to Jake, for helping me put the Christmas Tree up on Thanksgiving evening! I hate how it seems Thanksgiving gets skipped with all the Christmas rush, I think it's perfect to get it up after Thanksgiving dinner. We were worried we'd have to play keep-a-way with the girls and the Christmas Tree, so far it hasn't been too bad.............


............. Unless we put them right in front of it!! Then we are just asking for it!


Sadie left, Samantha right

Also......The Old Man turned 32!!!! The day after Thanksgiving!

Happy Birthday to Jake!!


Yea! A grill! Jake feels like a "Real Man" now that he has a full size grill, instead of our little Smoky Joe, that we've been using!



The Dad's and I got busy putting this grill together in the garage, (by the way it was freezing!)trying to keep it a surprise from Jake! But surprise, surprise! He woke up earlier than we thought! So after the Big Surprise, the Dad's and Jake continued on with the assembly in the living room! (Where they could actually feel their fingers!!)


In Jake's honor, we had a delicious Pancake Breakfast! We put candles in a Cherry Pie (his favorite!) for his Birthday cake!


And the babies, LOVED THE WRAPPING PAPER! I think they have just had a preview of Wrapping Paper Heaven, to come in just .... 16 more days!

I can guess why you had extra time. Getting church canceled by ice rules!

Your house looks beautiful Daisie! I loved seeing the pictures with all the fam. I hope Jake had a good birthday, I know Chad would be very jealous of that grill!

That's pretty impressive your girls are leaving your tree alone! This year my girls are finally leaving ours alone-last year our decorations kept getting moved higher and higher until there was nothing left on the bottom half! It's amazing what they can accomplish when they work together!

Aww...Sadie & Samantha are so cute! I'm glad you have a big table now...it's so nice. We had a tiny one the first couple years we were married, too. Happy Birthday to Jake...he'll love his grill. Spencer loves his.

I just decorated some small decorative trees I have this year since we aren't going to be here for Christmas. I have some homemade ornaments that James helped me put on the tree. James thought they looked yummy and took a bite out of the candy cane looking one. He quickly spit it out when he tasted the salt from the play-dough.
