Keeping Busy!

Where to begin... we moved into our new house, but I don't have any pictures because it was a long ordeal! If you haven't already heard the story, I'll summarize it by saying: never get a mortgage through Bank of America! Once we were in, we had a few crazy weeks of unpacking and then it was my birthday! My parents flew out for the week and were able to celebrate both my birthday and Thanksgiving! It was so awesome to hang out with them and show off our new house. 

Making their Mamma a birthday breakfast

Birthday lunch at Gates!

Exploring Kansas City

Thanksgiving day, the boys barbecued the turkey so we had time for cards

Very excited, and feeling very manly 

Picture perfect and tasted even better than it looks!

How we spent most of our time... Farkle

Their new past time... cross dressing

The next week we were able to go with a friend to see Swell Season! If you haven't heard of them you need to go rent the movie Once and be amazed. It was one of the most amazing experiences I have had. I wish I could share video with you all... oh wait I'm sure you can find it on youtube... and you should!

Last week we had a beautiful snow day! Grace stayed home from school, Rob stayed home from work, and they all played outside! I, on the other hand, enjoyed drinking some hot coffee, reading a book (that wasn't for school) and watched them from the comfort of the warm house.

Last weekend we had the staff Christmas party and the kids looked so cute that I had to take a picture of them. 

Today was Grace's Christmas program at school. It was so fun to watch her up there... and actually hear her little voice. It was also really strange to be sitting at my child's Christmas program! After the singing, the kids had a little party in their class and I was able to see her in her school environment. I was also able to see who this Caleb boy is that she is always talking about. In fact, she came home one day and told me they were married. He is just to the left of her. You can't see his face but in the second picture it looks like he is whispering in her ear! 

I'm sure I will have more Christmas pictures soon!
