Family

Jarod and I were very blessed to get to spend Christmas with family this year! My sister and her family, my brother Matt, and my Dad and his girlfriend all came to our house to celebrate. It was a lot of fun getting to hang out, shop, bake, and play games for a week. Christmas morning was fun with all 5 cousins getting up and opening presents before Jarod headed up to church (we all went to church on Christmas eve). One of my favorite moments was when Kaitlyn opened up the present her brothers gave her. They got her a necklace with a butterfly on it. Here they are putting it on her ( I think they love their little sister!):



I love my family and had such a great time with them. It is exciting to see God working in their lives and drawing them closer to Him.

We got to enjoy a week with Jarod home and the kids out of school. They closed the office at the church this week so it was like an extra week of vacation. We got things done around the house (new faucet installed, trim for kitchen lights in, backyard raked), and we also just really enjoyed being home together. We had lots of fun memories made like this one:


Nat got a hold of a cup of opened yogurt and enjoyed his snack under the table! Needless to say he got a bath right after that! :-) Can you believe he will be 1 year old in just 2 weeks?!

Anyway, we hope you had a wonderful Christmas!!
