One of our dear friends, Josh Ivey, came and helped us install the flooring upstairs. It went really fast and looks so beautiful!
Leisl decided that she needed to be my shoulder angel as I was practicing the piano. It's a good thing she is tiny.
Noah loves popcorn and the sound of the machine is the most exciting thing ever to him.
All the finishing touches on the house are coming together even better than I had anticipated. This short banister is just beautiful and matches the mantle over the alcove for the wood burning stove.
The big girls still like to stay up late giggling and talking together. As we gear up for the move we took their bed apart - they didn't mind! It was a sleepover on the floor. They are so happy and helpful and I'm very thankful for them.
Our traditional Christmas dinner had us branching out this year. Instead of finding a Denny's we decided that we would try a new spot so we went to the V-Ho (The Valley Hotel) in Palmer and had a great dinner together. I love this tradition because of the conversations that we have and the memories we make.
Finally it's moving day! Just 2 days before Christmas we were able to start moving things in. The boys used the mattresses as a slide for a quick diversion between packing in and unpacking boxes.
The Christmas decorations went up as soon as the furniture did.
Aaah - home. We are so excited to finally be moved in!!!
Ready for church on Christmas Eve.
Don't forget the nativity re-enactment.
We found ourselves doing our Christmas shopping on December 23rd after a full day of unpacking and putting the house together. Late at night after the kids were in bed we headed to Fred Meyer to grab a few things for stockings. We didn't care and neither did the kids - being in our house is the greatest Christmas present ever and we feel so blessed to be at this point!
Tyler got a really incredible Alaskan beard for Christmas - and the relief of not having to be working on projects for a minute.
