December Happenings

Our Christmas Tree and decorations...



Last weekend we went up to Vermont to get my mom and dad from Gram's. Gram is still in the rehab facility and making progress. The following pictures are some of the snow that we saw along the highway.


Monday night we got back home and opened presents from Gma & Gpa. The girls really took to Gma & Gpa. Anneliese loves her "gama" Bekah of course attached herself to gampa.

My sister and her family went home on Tuesday. It was such a nice visit to have us together for a short time. Hopefully next time will be longer.

Wednesday we got our first "good" snowfall here. We had had about a 1/2 inch a few weeks ago but this was good and has stuck around.


Thursday we took my parents to the airport for their trip home. The kids were all sad to see gma & gpa leave. Anneliese all the way home was saying "gama go bye" Reuben who is very choosy with his hugs started crying because he hadn't hugged grandma. So I stopped to give him that chance before they went inside the airport.

Friday we got a major snow storm as of Saturday morning there is about 8 inches on the ground. The boys are loving it. They were playing outside most of the afternoon. And this morning since church was canceled they are back out in the snow.

Looks like you had a nice visit with family. It is always so nice when they are able to come and visit. I cant wait until it is my turn to come!!

Mission Statement


I would like our home to be clutter-free, inviting and peaceful. My goal is to decide which tasks I need to do or delegate each day so we can maintain a better, more organized lifestyle. My goals also include providing an environment where my children can learn to be productive and Godly people. I want my family and others to know that this house is one where they can be free to live simply, love deeply and laugh abundantly. I want to be able to invite friends over without having to clean up for three days beforehand.
