      I am almost done decorating the house for Christmas and Scott got the lights up outside! It is taking me a little longer to get it done this year as Cooper likes to get into everything! I thought HoHoHo was appropriate as I didn’t have to cook dinner tonight. We needed to get some…

      Gotta love a little Christmas light bokeh 🙂 Mckenzie was admiring the tree so I thought I would practice silhouettes.

      We had a snow day today! I can’t believe school was cancelled for the tiny bit of snow we had, but it made for a fun day. Abby went to play with her friend across the street and I didn’t see her until almost dinner time. Mckenzie and Cooper and I went outside to…

      It seems that winter has arrived. This is the time of the year that I really miss living in the South 🙂

      Scott was digging through the garage the other night and he happened upon this sweet little toy. I had forgotten all about it in the move, but it was the very first toy I bought for Cooper when we found out we were pregnant again.

      Cooper’s weekly (well, almost weekly, except when I forget) photo with his bear. I have documented all three of our children’s growth against this bear 🙂

    Cooper was playing nicely by himself so I thought I would take a quick minute to run to the laundry room and throw a load into the dryer. When I left the room, Cooper was playing on his piano and the dog was chewing on a rawhide bone. I was gone only a couple of…

      Abby was helping Mckenzie with her “homework” once Abby finished her own. There was no need for Mckenzie to do it as her teacher said nothing needed to be turned in; it was just busy work to occupy her time. We spent the day catching up on laundry and homework and decorating for Christmas.…

      We headed back home today. We had originally planned to go back tomorrow, but we thought it would be better to travel in the afternoon/evening like we did on the way up so we left a day early so we didn’t pull in late on night on Sunday with school/work the next day. I…

      We met Scott’s Dad for lunch. The kids were a bit wild, but it was a good visit.  Afterwards, we went over to Scott’s cousin’s place to visit with them. The kids had fun drinking hot chocolate and playing together. After that, we stopped over at Jenny’s place, but we didn’t get to chat…
