Lula Lake

What a beautiful place! We had the best time hiking down to the bottom of the falls and can't wait to go again soon.

A little February snow

We had a little bit of snow down in the city this winter. It only lasted a few hours, but it was fun! Our kids were so excited when the snow first started.

 

 

 

 

Nana was here!

We had such a great time having Nana (Tim's mom) with us for almost a month and a half!! She loved us, served us, and played with us so well! Tim and I saw so many movies and went on a lot of dates! Thank you for coming Nana and making so many memories with us!

 

On Christmas Day, On Christmas Day

Probably one of my favorite pictures on the day! They were so excited to see all the presents under the tree!

 

 

We spent the day opening toys and playing, playing, playing!! By the time they were all tucked in, Tim and I were exhausted!!

 

 

And another Christmas dinner with the Ausdran's. So blessed by such dear friends!

 

Christmas Eve

Anna and Noah were thrilled that we made it to the end of the Christmas Eve service to sing Silent Night by candle light. I'm pretty sure it's a first for us...we usually have to make an early exit!



 

 

Noah wished for a brother on his Christmas list this year; I think a little wrestling with friends after the Christmas Eve service helped a little bit!

 

Merry Christmas everyone!

Christmas Pictures

We stopped off on the way home from church to snap a few family pictures while everyone was in their Sunday.

And it's been extra special to have Nana here to celebrate with us!

 

Downtown Christmas Windows

As simple as it is, going to see the Christmas windows downtown, it has become one of my favorite family traditions. I love to see them run from window to window to see what's next.

 

 

And a stop off at Starbucks for hot chocolate and treats is always a good idea.

 

 

 

It's hard to describe how much my heart swells with love and joy over these three little ones. We have a gracious Father who knows how to give good gifts to His children!
