Happy Birthday Jesus!!!!

Wishing all a Very Merry Christmas!!  And as precious Jazzie Mae says...."A new present is nice and an extra blessing, but it's not what Christmas is about. It's about Jesus."

Craft time fun! (photo overload)

A couple weeks ago I decided to brave a craft where we make Christmas Trees instead of Gingerbread Houses....(thought being trees could be a more independent craft where as a house they'd need more help with).  It turned out great and they had a ton of fun.  It was funny to watch it bring out each of their different personalities during the process.  Jazmine, my creative perfectionist, trying to stick to patterns, putting marshmallow seats in a perfect circle around the tree so people could sit and look at it.  While there is Isaac...totally pumped to go at first, realizes that it's kind of time consuming and tedious, so looking to take the easy way out and try to talk Mommy into doing it for him.  :) 

And in case you were wondering....pretty sure I am STILL finding green places to clean....  hahaha

Sledding and snow fun!

For Thanksgiving we went up to WA to visit and spend time with family.  It just so happens that it was in the middle of a big winter storm/arctic freeze!  The children were so excited to have the opportunity to play in the snow.  Of course since it was less than 20 degrees out, I had them bundled to the point of not even being able to walk!  :)

Sneak Peek!

Okay, my camera doesn't work very well, so these pics looked best turned into black and white.  :)  But the kids totally cooperated for a quick little photo session yesterday so I could get pics for our Christmas card.  Here are a few of my favs!!

Seriously Slacking!!

It is so hard to post pics of the children, when I hardly take any right now.  My camera is pretty much on the fritz... but here are a few of pumpkin carving night!  It's funny that both kids will get as dirty as can be outside, but practically refused to touch the "pumpkin goo".  <3

Just some new pics :)

Hanging out in the yard with Spooky.  He is too old to take off very fast.

Didn't make it camping this year, so they camped in the dining room!

And LOVED it!  :)
