It's beginning to look a lot like...

With this being our first year as home owners I thought I would document an important rite of passage...hanging Christmas lights. I gotta say I didn't think it would get done, but, thanks to an inspiring and helpful neighbor things are a lot more festive around here! Thanks for humoring me , Hon!

Kim's effort on the roof turned into...

This! Not too bad! Don't tell him that I already have more elaborate plans for next year! In fact, I feel like watching Christmas Vacation right now!

I have been trying to stay busy too decorating the inside:) Which brings me to a hotly debated question: Do you prefer colored or white lights? I am finding that I am in the MINORITY here! Hmmmm...

Just for Mimi

The following video is not anything special: just wanted Mimi to get a little glimpse!

You might consider this your Christmas Card

Depending on how this next week goes-this may be our only shot at getting cards out:(

I don't love love any of these but I realize that I am running out of time! To all our friends and family-please know that our love and well wishes go with you especially this season...whether we get cards out or not!

Meet Miss Olivia Kate

This tiny beauty is our newest niece Olivia Kate...look at all that hair! Very excited for this addition and looking forward to cuddling her again soon! So sweet!

I just had to post this picture of the two girlies who suddenly don't look so little anymore:(

Brady with B and Jordyn holding little livie! I think she has already got her daddy wrapped around her finger! Truly, every child born is a miracle.
