Happy birthday, Mead!

Mead turned 9 last weekend, and she had a small group of friends over for an early birthday party.

They had a good time - ate fruit, pizza, and cake, and watched The Emoji Movie.

I'm very thankful for Mead and for the friends that Mead has made at school.

A few days later, on her actual birthday, we were able to celebrate as a family.  We began with the traditional cinnamon roll breakfast, of course.  It was a fun day.  We love you, Mead!

Merry Christmas!

I barely took any pictures over the break, but here's a couple from our holidays.

Cole's class made gingerbread houses one day at school - he was so proud of his creation!  He did a great job.

And here's the kids Christmas morning opening their stockings before cinnamon rolls and presents.  We had a nice Christmas together in our new home.
