A Child Is Born ~ Merry Christmas (2015 and 2016) ~

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders.  And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

 Isaiah 9:6

But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.  They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.  Isaiah 40:31

Christmas Celebrations (2016) ~

Odin and Quinn have been participating in Options Day (a homeschool group) this school year.  They put on a Christmas music program on December 22nd singing and playing their recorders ~ it is great to see them step out of their comfort zone to perform in front of others!

The homeschool Co-Op we participate in had a family day event where they were able to decorate ginger bread houses, cookies and cupcakes!  I'm quite certain more candy made it into their mouths versus stuck onto their houses!  It was fun!! 

 Quinn was chosen as a winner at our table and he chose a prize 

for each of his siblings and even a prize for me!  Love his heart!!

After we decorated our houses, we ventured down to Bells on Belgrade for a bit of Christmas fun along with a parade!

Happy Birthday Corrigan (2015 and 2016) ~

This sweet girl!  She is certainly one of the greatest blessing in my life.  She is full of unconditional love for all us, she is the perfect "2nd" mom for her brothers, she compliments me often and this girl's heart is full of Jesus' love!  When she grows up, she wants to be a mom, to get married and to live with Bryce and I (ha!)! 

Corrigan Turns FOUR (2015)

 Corrigan and I got pedicures for her birthday (her first time)!

 Dinner at Wow! Zone

Corrigan and Cece are sweet friends who are only 5 weeks apart.  They have known each other since they were born and their friendship (as well as us mommas) has grown over the past 5 years.  It was so much fun to surprise our girls with a pedicure to celebrate their birthdays!  Our new annual tradition!!
