We waited until Sunday to decorate the tree. Every time a new person enters our family (either through birth or marriage) my grandparents buy two ornaments with their name on it.

We all went to pick a Christmas tree last week after school. The kids had a fun time running around the lot while Adam and I found the perfect tree. Nikolas was in charge of the camera for a while and got some good pictures! Here it it! Thank you Vanna!

I love this do for church or other fancy outing (like weddings). It is pretty easy it just takes time to do all the curling.  I learned this one when Zoe had her hair done at a salon.  I added (well Adam did, I haven't figured that out yet!) the hair blog to the side …

When I worked in Nikolas' kindergarten class there was this little girl who loved to chase the boys, hold their hands and kiss them. I wondered how did she learn those things.  Well now I know they are just born with it! Britain came home from school today and asked Kalixta. Britt: Who at school …

Sunday night we all made paper snowflakes. Last year I saw snowflake decorations and thought it would be fun to put them in the front window. Since I was way to cheap to buy them I decided to try and make them. Thankfully Marie learned how to make amazing snowflakes and a new tradition was …

We blessed Tori yesterday. It was a very special day! She looked beautiful and Adam did a great job. He told her she was brought to earth at this time to bring joy to her family, specifically because of the trials we are facing right now. (In case you did not know, Adam got laid …
