It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas...

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around the house...

Now i just need to start wrapping and putting presents under the tree.

Micah's nativity scene

I ordered Josiah a stocking of his very own, Since my sister will be spending her Christmas break with our family we hung a stocking for her too.

Daddy taking a break to snuggle with his boys
Micah was very serious about hanging ornaments

Each branch had at least 2

My sweet baby boy, hamming it up while we decorate the house.

Once again we have family pajamas. Out of the package they came and washed, then put in to the drawers just waiting for Christmas eve. This is one family tradition i love :)

Micah and Daddies Zoo

Micah and Allwyn once again built a zoo. This time they used blocks to make cages of all different shapes and sizes.








Playing zoo is serious business in this house :)

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had an amazing time spending time with family today. Allwyn and i hosted Thanksgiving this year in our home. We spent the morning cooking and preparing for our guest. Here are some pictures from our day.

Micah set up his table for his cousins

Allwyn set the tables, they looked so nice. Good job Hun!

There was so much food. Turkey, cheesy potatoes, mashed potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, mac and cheese, green beans and almonds, stuffing, baked apples and rolls. Not to forget all the pie!

My babies Sick :(

On a sad note My sweet Josiah has been sick. It started last week and i thought he was getting better but yesterday his cold took a turn for the worse not better. It's so hard to see my sweet joyful boy just not himself. He took a great nap today so I'm hopeful that he'll sleep well tonight and be feeling a little better tomorrow.

Another project

Micah and daddy have been working on making a second row of hooks just low enough for Micah to hang his school bag and coat on in the laundry room. With the extra supplies Micah made a project of his very own (with a little help from daddy). Here are some pictures of the work in progress, the finished product is already hanging in Micah's closet and well he's asleep so pictures will have to wait but it turned out so cute.

Daddy added hooks and it's a beautiful row of hooks that hangs in Micah's closet for things like belts.

Super Micah

Micah's friend Griffin gave him a cape with his name on it for his birthday. It's so adorable. Here are some pictures, Micah was running around the house so i had to catch him and try to keep him still to capture these pictures.

Family Craft Night

Micah's favorite thing to do at school is make 'projects'. I decided that we would have a family night at least once a month. This months theme Turkeys. They turned out so cute!

Step 1: Collect your supplies and go on a pine cone hunt
Step 2: Make hand prints on construction paper or card stock.
Step 3: Decorate with feathers
Step 4: Cut out prints and feathers (you can flip flop 3 and 4 if you want)
Step 5: Hot glue the hand prints and feathers to the back of a pine cone.

Step 6: Cut out heads and decorate and glue to your pine cone.

I just couldn't help myself it's the teacher in me :)

Play Time

This is what happens when Daddy and Micah play together...
When i asked what happened Micah told me that they built a zoo and then all the animals needed a pool. So, he found every pool like container and he put his animals in them. While the boys moved to the front toy room i quickly cleaned and found another mess in the toy room. What happened to cleaning up one toy to take out another. Daddy has a hard time saying NO.

Parent Child Dedication

Today, Sunday November 14th we celebrated Josiahs dedication. This was a big day for our family. We celebrated with close friends and family. We are so blessed to have such amazing friends and family. Thank you everyone for making this day so special. After the service we enjoyed a great lunch at Blackstone Grill.
Here are a lot of photos from the day enjoy.

This is Allwyn sharing with the church that he gets lots of sleep and my sharing that i get very little :)

The three friends Josiah, Ashley and Henry, all dedicated together.

Micah didnt want to remove his hat once he finally got to put it on. Katie looking thrilled that Allwyn was taking another picture of her. (Thank you to my amazing husband once again he drove to get Katie late at night so she could share this special day with us. I truly am blessed with this amazing family.)
