‘Tis the season

You two still celebrate the season by being around the people you love! When it came to baking and making this year, six hours of crafting at Stephanie’s House was enough. If we forgot someone this year it really wasn’t intended. That’s why there’s such things as thankful gifts any time, right! 

Once again I wish I had more pictures but I don’t. Your dad was pretty good about capturing the looks on your face each morning when it came time for you to find the elves or check to see if there was anything in your stocking. Me I was barely getting out of bed to get to work on time! I heard it all in the background (thankful our house isn’t more spread out for that reason). 

Just like the lights in the backdrop, I hope that 

Thankful

Julia summed it up pretty well thebother day when she was thinking back to the month of November. Spending time with people who love you is a pretty good feeling. I second that. Having extra help during conferences and for turkey day prep was life saving. I’m thankful that when the help arrives everyone appreciates one another and enjoys each other’s company! 

Here’s s few pictures to show you that I missed a whole lot of memories while I was working, but hopefully you will still remember how special it is spending time with all of your grandparents. 

"Whittle" bit

Instead of trying to document what I haven’t done for the last several months, I figured I could start little and see where I end up.

Most recently we had another successful tree hunt. Jacob is sticking to math and the cost of trees over the years, while Julia is waiting for next year where she gets to make the final decision. Our tree is perfect and fits perfectly In our family room. I’m so thankful we were able to enjoy this season once more with you.

You both kicked the season off with excitement and found your own tree at the end of a treasure hunt the day after thanksgiving. Luckily aunt la was around to take you to Hobby Lobby to pick out the themed ornaments that fit your personalities so well.
