Christmas

Merry Christmas!
We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas this year. Jade had a whole week off for Christmas which was great! I think this was the first holiday this year that he didn't have to work. It was so nice to have him around.
We missed seeing all of our extended family this year. We love and miss you all! But it made things a bit more simple and quiet (as quiet as it can be with 4 little boys). It was fun to watch all of the boys' excitement. We just loved spending time together as a family.

Christmas Morning!

Christmas Eve, hanging up the stockings.

Making cookies for Santa.

We had fun decorating gingerbread houses.

We had a very white Christmas. It was beautiful and the boys loved playing in it.

Nathan's Blessing Day

Nathan Walker Bringhurst.

Our beautiful baby boy was blessed on Saturday, Dec. 6th in our home. Nathan is such a joy and a blessing to our family. It was such a special day! We are grateful to have Jade's parents visiting with us for a week. Rory(Jade's brother) and Wendy drove up from Ohio to be with us despite the big snow storm. We were also able to include Grandma & Grandpa Owen, and Jordan & Camilla through the webcam.

I feel so blessed to have 4 wonderful boys and a loving husband who is worthy to bless our family. We are grateful for all of our extended family and for their love and support. We love you all!

Christmas Tree Farm

We went to a Christmas tree farm to cut down our Christmas tree. They had tractor pulled wagon rides and saws to cut your tree down. It was cold but we had fun and found a great blue spruce.

Our New Piano

We bought a piano!

We found a 100 year old, pretty beat up, baby grand piano on craigslist and we love it!

Thanksgiving

We had a fun Thanksgiving! The boys liked making apple turkeys and the place cards for the table.

Jacks and Cara (and their cats) joined us and I cooked my first turkey!
