We have Another Reader!



Oh how sweet those first few months are when kids learn to read!

Jaden takes his reading homework quite seriously, pulling out his reading folder before we even get home. He enjoys reading his story to everyone.

Tis the Season


Shortly after Thanksgiving we headed up to Forest Hill to Snowy Peaks Christmas Tree Farm to cut down our tree. With many beautiful trees to choose from, it was a challenge to choose the best one.


Our new house has a much lower ceiling in the living room, and of course we forgot to measure it before we headed up to the tree farm. We finally decided on this tree, and it is a perfect fit just inches below the ceiling.
The boys are always eager to help Tom with cutting the tree down. But just like with decorating the tree, after a few minutes helping Daddy, they are off in search of something more fun like searching for frost crystals or looking for logs to jump off of.
