Christmas Decorations....

It's been so fun to decorate for Christmas this year and not feel like the decorations are cluttering the house! We're thankful for more space! 

Thanksgiving

We always enjoy getting ready for our Thanksgiving dinner - beginning with the brining of the turkey! 

Gracie!

Talking to MomMom!  

Happy Birthday Sarah!

We had so much fun getting ready for and celebrating our sweet Sarah's birthday. It's hard to believe she's nine years old!  Sarah is a ray of sunshine in our house - she loves to read, play with her sisters and brothers, and puts herself into everything she does! 

Dan and I had fun making this horse barn for Sarah's horses! 

Pretty necklaces from MomMom! 

Snowy Day!

It was one of those perfect snowy days when we had nowhere to go and everyone was enjoying doing things inside - with a few jaunts outside to enjoy the new snow! 

The view from our school room window! 

Deer!

We're so thankful for the deer that Dan got this year!  Meat in the freezer! 

Thanks to Al Leland for this great picture! 

Working on the backsplash

One of the last jobs to do in the kitchen was to tile the backsplash. 

Dan was able to work on that this week! We're so happy with how it's turning out! He still needs to put the grout in, but it looks so nice already! 

Happy Birthday Joshua!

Joshua turned 5 last week!  We love this little fellow!  He is full of life and energy!  He loves to ride his bike with his Daddy (he just rode 3 miles today!) and do pretty much anything outside!
