I couldn't resist posting this picture

From Our Home To Yours!

Merry Christmas!

May God bless you all throughout the new year!

May we remember the reason for the season!

He is PEACE...He is JOY...He is LOVE...
He is every good gift from God's heart to ours.
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father.James 1:17 NIV

They sure love their sister!

and she loves them

Who wouldn't love this sweet little baby girl!?! It is hard to believe last year at this time we found out we were expecting a baby, and now here she is and almost 4 months old already! We are so thankful to God for her. He knew that we needed this little girl to join our family! We love her so much!!

or 3 and a half :)

3 snow days last week and a half day this week! Crazy! This has never happened before. I remember having the odd snow day when I was growing up, but so far since Seth has been in school, we haven't had any snow days (at least not on the days he had to go). Welcome to our Winter Wonderland! Even though I am not a big fan of winter, the snow does look pretty! Here are some pictures from the past couple weeks of Christmasy things around our house.

Christmas baking... shortbread cookies yum!

we attempted to do a ginger bread house this year (bought a kit from the grocery store), the boys had fun putting it together


I got this idea from someones picture on facebook
We had extra lights and I just bought some garland and it looks so cozy, especially in the evening


now we have 5 stockings hanging by the fireplace
last year we couldn't hang Chloe's (we knew we were expecting another baby, but we were not ready to share the news with everyone yet)





looking out our front door

a peek out of our window

the boys had a blast playing in the snow

Hope you are all enjoying the winter weather! Looking forward to a couple weeks of Christmas break and some family celebrations as well.

When we have a snow day or two...

...we snuggle in a blanket and stay cozy warm! :)

We also try to sleep in, eat breakfast late and play in the snow, and don't forget the hot chocolate too! Hope you are enjoying your snow days too!

Our Kids

Just a little note about our kids:

Hard to believe Seth is going to be 7 in a little over a month! He is growing up so fast & learning so much since being in Grade 1!

We are very proud of Ethan...2 thumbs up for him since he is now potty trained! He goes whenever he has to and it is great to only have 1 child in diapers now. Saves us money too!

Chloe is 3 months today. She is sleeping 12 hours at night, which is wonderful! My how the past couple months have gone so quickly.

I also wanted to post a picture of her in this sleeper. It is one of my favourites for her and since she keeps growing, it is not going to fit her too much longer.
