~a glimpse of our past few weeks~

I will start working when my coffee does!
( And yes, I actually hung the ornament that came in the coffee container! 
I think it's cute.  Love my coffee! )

My baby boy and baby girl!  They are getting so big! Love them!

She is so excited about Christmas because the others are, but she really has no idea what to think about it all!  Sweetness!  xoxoxo

Minnie Mouse pj's, a Build-A-Bear reindeer, and a crazy hair-do makes for a pretty sweet photo, don't you think?!

~love~

~sigh, ...she is just growing up, that is all I can say!

We took a tour of the Braum's Dairy! It was a lot of fun. The kids said their favorite part was riding the cow bus.  My favorite part was the bakery, something tells me that heaven must smell like that, or at least inside my mansion does. Yummy!

We've been doing a lot of reading lately.  Sam has been reading to the kids morning and evening for about an hour each!  

Firewood!!!  No, we do not have a fireplace (wish we did), but we did get a fire pit.  We had thank-you points on our credit card about to expire, so we decided to use them on a fire pit.  Sam had cut several limbs and branches down from the trees in our yard and we were waiting for the big trash day to get rid of them.  So glad we still had them, Asa helped get them small enough to fit in the fire pit! I love watching him work with his dad!  xoxo

I used the clippers to get the small limbs off so they could cut the branches down easier.  We're a good team!!  (Hannah took this photo.)

~Enjoy~

I left Hannah in charge of my camera while I was clipping more limbs.  These are so funny, I would have not captured this silliness on my own, they act differently when they think no adults are watching!  These girls of mine are truly silly!! Love them so much!

Oh Hannah!  Someday, ha ha, this just might come back around!

~a long winter's nap~

Our cousin Lux came for a visit! ...Oh, and his mom Prisca too!

Lux is smiling so big his eyes are closed!
