It's that time of year

I'm not sure I will ever catch up on my blog, but I will do my best to get back on track. Lots of exciting new things have happened. I, for one, feel like I am living somebody else's life right now. I guess that feeling will eventually go away as we continue to settle into our new home. This house is not my forever house, but we are going to enjoy it for awhile. My forever home will be smaller and hopefully close to water. :) We have lots of painting and still unpacking to do, but I am happy to say we have found a new home for our dogs Dooley and Walker. But first we are happy to pause and celebrate Christmas. Grayson, Parker and myself were excited to bake a birthday cake for Jesus. This really needs to be included in our traditions each year. It was really important to me for our children this year to honor and celebrate this very important birth and the true meaning of Christmas. Presents are great, but it's important to me for Christmas to be about more than just presents. Some families get all caught up in what and how much they are buying for their children that through all the hustle and bustle we forget what Christmas is all about. Back to catching up....here's a sneak peek of the house along with pictures from school parties, Christmas at home, Christmas at my Aunt Lorine's and who knows what else. I think there may even be a couple from Thanksgiving in here. Beware lots of pictures.....and they are not necessarily in order of event.

Great looking Elf.


School Parties...PJ Day is the best!

You have no idea how obsessed he is with Kung Fu Panda and yes he is 15.

Ok...so our cake is not a masterpiece, it's the thought that counts.
