It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

So the new street we live on is Silverbell and it makes me sing everytime I tell someone our address, lame I know. The last few days have gone by in the blink of an eye. We have unpacked and set up our house, visited with Santa, celebrated Christmas, and every spare moment has been spent being a family of four!

With the help of some great friends, we unloaded the storage unit and quickly set up our house to be ready for Christmas. Andy and I stayed up late and woke up early to unpack the house in three days and even hung pictures prior to our holidays. My main focus was to be able to have the house done before we started on holiday shopping and cookie making. Well we accomplished it! The boys were fabulous during this time and Andy took breaks to play with them between unpacking boxes and hanging pictures.

After that whirlwind, we started on our holiday fun! The boys & I made cookies and candy and Andy finished the holiday treats by making springila (a unique German cookie). We ordered our lobsters for Christmas dinner and saw Santa, too! The packages were all tied up pretty with bows and we even read the Christmas Story.

We also received the huge news that we would be moving to Hawaii in early summer! It was huge news and we were very excited, but man I just got this house unpacked and movers are coming again?!

Stockings were hung with care

Why yes that is our elf sitting by a Hawaiian palm tree

Lobster and prime rib now just waiting for Davis & veggies to be ready!
