New Years Resolution

Okay, Let's try this again! New Years Resolution is to update this at least once a month. It's a nice way for me to look back and remember all the small things that I might otherwise forget. Also good to keep up with family and friends.

So a little trackback.... We are FINALLY in our house, it only took 6 months to build but when you are crammed in like sardines with screaming kids and nothing that belongs to you but the clothes on your back, it seems like years. We love it, but it can't be completely enjoyed because of the work that's still to be done. So you can never quite relax because when you walk into the kitchen you realize the rock mantle and venthood aren't up, or into the half bath and realize there's no sink, etc. Ahhhh, one day.

Christmas was spent in the new house, we had the family dinner and present opening here and I thought it worked out great! I've missed Christmas with family the pass few years so it was nice to have the kids be apart of that.

Santa brought Ivan a Step 2 art desk and art supplies and a building set. Aubree got a pretend kitchen. Ivan was so excited on Christmas morning he came in our bedroom and could hardly speak, and his eyes were as big as half dollars. I wonder how many more years will I get to see that excitement?

Anyway, here are a few pics from the holidays.
