December wrap up

Wow, December got away from me! Here to post some of the highlights, I wish Blogspot would put them in chronological order, but no, so it's going to be random.  

Lucy's dedication:



Friends and family over for after dedication lunch



love this boy


Went to the library for the city's Christmas tree lighting and to see Santa. August talked for days later about seeing "wooly", didn't care so much about "that santa guy" lol



Jeanie at speech therapy


Lucy turned 3 months


August LOVES the bunk beds at grandma and grandpa's house

One big thing we did was have this peek-a-boo window opened up. 4 days of mess and dust, but now it is much more nice and open :) we still need new flooring in the kitchen once we decide what we want

before:


After:


Mainly did it because I wanted to see the kids in the play area when I'm in the kitchen, in all our planning I didn't account for the piano edge to be sticking so far into the view :( but oh well, it is better than before


did another santa thing that Jeanie's speech school put on


August had to go for an eye exam, here he is all dilated, thankfully no need for glasses (yet anyway!)


sisters!




I'm so thankfully this girl is in our lives, she fits right in.

And her first Christmas, my brother and his family are in town so we've been spending lots of time at Grandma & Grandpa's




new swimsuit, she ripped off her clothes instantly to put this on, haha




And then we had our own family Christmas at home


electric trains for his Brio track


a marketplace cradle, this was the perfect gift for this little momma



Over to Doug's parents to celebrate with them


A girls craft night at our house


Nice!


December was a hard month for us, we lost one of Doug's groomsmen to covid-pneumonia a week and a half ago and have just been feeling so sad. He left behind a widow who is obviously shattered and we're not sure she has the Lord to cling to. So that has been really hard. Anyone reading this can please say a prayer for Stephanie.
