Published on 12.24.2012 in week in review
This week included this monkey...
...and his milk "mustache"...
...date night thanks to the awesome Uncle D...
...Christmas parties for the minis...
...with pancake reindeer and donut snowmen...
...cookie decorating...
...reindeer games...
...and a puzzle exchange...
...the minis had a church Christmas program...
...I loved capturing the little things, like how this mini had to stand on her tippie toes to reach the mic...
...and well, this...
...Mini #1 was serious about NOT doing the actions...
...but he did hang up the ornament...
...and I got both of them on stage after the program...
...and got a super cute shot of them by the tree...
...the next morning the minis stayed home, and daddy had to go to work...but did a puzzle before he left...
...we "decorated"...
...cookies for Santa!...
...the weekend started with a four course (and fantastic) Christmas dinner...
...FINALLY finishing a wedding video...
...Santa coming to visit a couple days early...
...he even stuffed our stockings with toothbrushes...
...we finished up with a trip north to the frozen tundra...
Can't wait for some awesome family time!!

Friday's Favorites...LOVE
Published on 12.21.2012 in Friday's Favorites
Sunday at church we talked about last Friday's tragedy, and how it seemed like evil was winning.
And then, Monday morning, a friend posted this link on Facebook.
So evil wins. Right?
It made me jump to action. This week I've:
Made cookies for my neighbors...
Read books to the boys...
Cleaned the house for the hubby suffering from allergies...
Drove my brother-in-law to the airport...
And made sure that those in my family knew that I loved them...

This holiday season...let's help LOVE win. And come back, tell me how you helped LOVE win...
Merry Christmas!!!

A birthday timeline
Published on 12.19.2012 in birthday, Uncle fishing D
Uncle D is living with us and last week Thursday was his birthday.
I believe birthdays are the most fabulous things in the world...I mean seriously...a day that's to celebrate you?!?...so I made an awesome supper and of course a cake.
FYI...Pioneer Woman's sheet cake is fantastic!!
So, here's a photo review of us doing "the cake"...
Mini #2 prepping to blow...
...singing...
...premature blowing...
...finishing it off..
...and eating...
On a side note...the number 2 has been around a while. We used it to celebrate Mini #1's second birthday, Engineering Man's 26th birthday, my 27th birthday, Mini #2's second birthday, and now Uncle D's 25th birthday!

Blogger fail...
Didn't take many photos this week, but I DID finish a lot of crocheting... :) So, here's what I've got...
...I crocheted...
...and made jewelry...
...Mini #2 tried on hats...
...and we celebrated Uncle D's birthday...check back Wednesday for more...
...the boys played on a tractor...
...that SANTA had driven in from the North Pole...
...long trip...
...Mini #1 told him everything...
...and even gave him a "turkey" high five...
...but Mini #2 wanted nothing to do with him...
...he even ditched out when Santa was just looking at him...
... :) ...
...and I wrapped it all up by finishing the last of my Christmas crochet...
Merry "week before" Christmas!!

A Christmas timeline...
Published on 12.11.2012 in Christmas decorations, holidays
We buy an ornament every year for our tree.
It's the one tradition I've been able to keep up on!!
So...a Christmas timeline in review...
Some highlights you may not have noticed:
Mini #1 changed his name in 2011 from "Lucas" to "Luke" - why? His memory verse was Luke 2:11. :)
In 2010 we were literally all sleeping in one bed. We were house crashing my cousins...our home in Wichita hadn't sold and we were trying to save money.
In 2011 we put a giant tree on our little car. :)
