What an Amazing Experience

We are so excited about the addition to our family. Pregnancy is going, it has been just long enough that I had forgotten all the fun pregnancy is but it is so worth every moment once you have the little miracle in your arms. What a gift from God!! But I didn't include our due date which is May 1 but we are already planning on the baby entering this beautiful world about a week or so early because the date will be scheduled. We so appreciate all the love and support of our family and friends. I don't know what we would do without all the wonderful people that fill our lives. I will continue to give updates as we get closer.
And here is also a little baby dust, sprinkle, sprinkle, sprinkle, for any that are wanting to bring more joy to their families. And for those who don't need any just blow that dust away.

Christmas FUN!

What is Christmas without making German Christmas cookies, yummy and fun! This is Jay's all time favorite Christmas tradition and it has been a joy to make it our family Christmas tradition as well. The kids love helping dump the in the ingredients and mix the dough. Best most of all they love cutting out the cookies.
Oh, the mess that cookies can make especially the flour.
Sarah had lots of Fun entertaining the parents during her Christmas program but the book exchange and present for Mom and Dad were her highlights.
Decorating their very own gingerbread girl and boy with all the icing and sprinkles they could imagine. To me all I see is a tummy ache but a artistic creation as well.
Colton was going for the blue pirate gingerbread boy look and of course Sarah's was a pink princess. Whatever the project or activity, Christmas is all about family time and memories and our Christmas included many moments around cookies and we all enjoy them.
