The last few months in pictures

I am finally posting pictures...a ton of pictures! I uploaded them backwards, so the most recent pictures are first.

I wish I had more time to go in to detail about all the fun things we have done the past few months, but I guess you will just have to enjoy it through pictures. Pictures are worth a thousand words anyway....right?


CHRISTMAS


Putting up the Christmas tree.

Mary and Baby Jesus.

Addi prepared her own costume as well as the bed for the baby Jesus :)

A Family Effort

After 13 hours, we finally finished staining our deck!


Special thanks to:


Addison for being brave and climbing the ladder, and bringing us yummy treats, and playing with Kaden, and setting the table for dinner, and cleaning up dinner so mommy and daddy could keep staining. You really worked hard!




Kaden for sitting in your chair so happily, and taking really good naps so we could finish.




Jacob for putting up with my perfectionistic self, and for chanting me along until the very end!


This was a big project (much bigger than we anticipated), but it feels sooooo good to be able to walk on our deck and see the fruits of all of our labors!
