merry christmas!

This year Christmas was a little different for our family. We usually spend the afternoon with our larger group at the Arnold home, but this year they had the flu! Poor dears! We chose to stay at our house and not risk getting the flu as well. Although it was a somewhat smaller group we had a great time. Papa, Nana, Seth, and Katie were all here, then later in the day GF, Jeannie, and Ellie came by. We pooled our food and managed quite a delicious meal. The day was even warm enough to get outside for a bit and play Ladder Golf (very fun gift!!).


This is a whole different kind of superhero. Armed with a sword and nail gun, he can slay that pesky dragon and fix the squeaky step on the front porch....my hero. Keeping the world safe...one nail at a time.

My mom and sister are both the most amazing seamstresses. This time, however, my mom outdid herself. Ava got TWO beautiful new dresses, and Noah gets to be her Prince Charming.


Krumcake! Yum.


It's been a long day....

...as I was saying, my sister is also amazing. She whipped up these new jammies for the kids.
