Time to Catch-Up!!


I'm back! What a whirlwind of a month it has been. Although we are so happy to be in our new house, moving 6 days before Christmas is slightly crazy. I hope to use this post as a way to catch up on all that we have been doing.
Let's start at the very beginning. . . A very good place to start.

Moving Day!

We were blessed with beautiful weather, and so grateful to have my parents in town to help. We needed it!

School Christmas Parties

Claire's class had a gingerbread house decorating party in pajamas. This was the same morning as our move, so Emma came along with me, and my parents and Jeremy stayed behind to keep the movers in line.
I also got to visit Emma's class on their party day. I was the "special reader" for story time, and then the kids made "Reindeer Food".

Christmas time is here!

The plus to buying our Christmas tree 5 days before Christmas? It was 50% off!
On Christmas Eve, Mr. Jingles showed up in our tree with a can of snow!
Decorating Christmas cookies. . .in a swimsuit, of course.
Creating the perfect cookie arrangement for Santa. . .
Scattering "reindeer food" off the back deck (in creatively chosen pajamas). . .
A couple of Christmas morning treasures!
When all of the wrapping was said and done, someone was a little sleepy. . .

Christmas in Atlanta

Owen was rocking his gift from Santa!
The girls were swooning over their Justin Bieber note pads from the Bradley family. You would have thought they had the "Bieber Fever".
Zoo Day
Visiting with Kenzie and Caleb. . .

Enjoying Our New Home

Our little back yard get away. . .
The girls love "shower baths" in Mommy and Daddy's new shower!
Looking forward to many more beautiful sunsets in the years to come!

There you have it! That pretty much puts our past month in a nutshell. Hopefully, we are now up to speed!
