Christmas in 15 days!

It seems that I am having a hard time lately keeping my blog updated! You must be thinking her house is probably clean- nope! I am astounded at how quickly the days go by. I am amazed at all of you mothers out there that actually get projects done. If I am not holding Kinley, I am helping Drezden, or helping Kayla with her various projects. One day I will be able to complete a project right? :) I just feel accomplished to still be standing and have the house look somewhat acceptable when James gets home at the end of the day!

A lot has been happening in our family. We got our Christmas tree on black Friday- smokin' deal that we woke up at 3:30 am for at Home Depot! We have it all decorated and it looks awesome! I love Christmas:)

Thanksgiving was great. We ate a lot of great food and James had a great time playing football ALL morning! He loves playing sports with his brothers, dad, and friends. What a great tradition. Pretty soon Drezden will be out there playing- but only if it is flag or touch football- I am going to be one of those protective moms I am afraid!

Drezden has taken up painting. He loves it! He asks to paint everyday and he is getting better at staying in the lines.



Kinley has started eating solid foods. She loves oatmeal the best but she will accept sweet potatoes, squash, pears, and prunes.

This morning I was taking pictures of Kinley and Drezden yells to me- "Mom! come look and take a picture!" This is what I saw when I walked in the kitchen! He has such great talent!

Finally- I know that it is hard to see- but this is an outfit I bought for Kinley before she was born. It has green pants with white polka dots and on the shirt it says 'Pretty Girl' with little bees and flowers. I love it and have been checking everyday to see if it would fit and today was that special day:)

We wish you all a very Merry Christmas. It gets busy with all the tasks that need to be done before the special day, but we encourage you to take a step back even if just for a minute and thank our Father in Heaven for the best gift we have ever received- our Savior. We love all of you!
