Christmas 2017



On Christmas Eve, the tree was lit, presents out....

Stockings hung with care.

And then it was Christmas morning!! Kevin and I waited until 8:30 and then woke up the kids! Ha!




After presents, sticky buns, and trying out all the gifts, we headed to my parents for the rest of Christmas Day. Uncle Bill had an experiment for the kids: turning pennies gold! They loved it :)



My other pictures at my parents are chaotic! Lots of kids and lots of presents.  We had a fun day! The rest of the week was spent at home. We took the kid roller skating one day, but the rest of the time was low-key!

On Friday we drove out to Kevin's parents house and exchanged gifts that evening.


On Saturday, it snowed! The kids are watching Grandpa and Dad shovel.



The Tiptons came over and we had a fun time with them. I think Uncle Bob liked his gift :)


Do you see an addition in this family photo? Mark and JungMin got a dog right before Christmas.  

  He added fun to our celebrations :)  The kids loved him!


Off to Carlisle to celebrate New Years.


Mimi got the kids just what they wanted - TOYS! :)




School started back up with a 2-hour delay on Tuesday! It was a full week of family time, which was great.

Home Decorating

Every so often, I get the urge to re-decorate our entire house. Since that's not really a possibility, I usually just end up changing some pictures or decorations. I was inspired by this post (the blog was found on the side-bar of my cousin's blog ), I thought I'd make a 3-D wall hanging of my own: I might keep it, I might give it as a gift....not sure yet - but I like it! Our downstairs bathroom was in need of a little "perk-up" so I made two coordinating frames to lighten things up: Now this isn't really home decorating....but I'm still including it :) Chloe recently acquired some fancy 4th of July hair clips from Aunt Michelle/Grandma B. She needed the perfect dress to match those clips, so I found some fabric and made one! Check back at the beginning of July for pictures of Chloe wearing this dress! :) My need for creating might have been calmed by these projects...or maybe it's only encouraging me to do more!

Baby Pool

Want to guess when Baby #2 is going to arrive? Post a comment, or send me an email, with your guess and I'll add you in! As a review, here are the rules to the game (taken from Heather Deterding!): 1. Post your guess for the baby's arrival in the "comment" section. Be sure to specify both date and time of day -- either "am" or "pm". 2. Limit one guess per person, and only one entry per time slot-- no sharing! 3. Winner is determined based on time of birth. For example, if the baby is born on April 20th at 7 AM, a guess of "April 20th, AM" would be the winner. In the event that there is no entry for the correct arrival time, the next closest guess based on actual time of birth would win. 4. We will post entries on the Calendar above. Check prior entries before placing your guess! Dates not displayed on the calendar above are still up for grabs. 5. The winner will receive... bragging rights and a congratulatory post h...
