A Full Year!

I can hardly believe that it has been a full year since I decided to blog a picture each day.  Sure, I've missed a few days and Jeremy has taken as many pictures as I have, but this tells a lot about the daily happenings in our life.  We are busy, crazy, and having fun!  So, should I continue this blog?  Is anyone reading it, especially any relatives who don't live close?

New Year's Eve entertainment - Joel is holding one sleeve of my shirt and Jake is pulling him in circles around the house.  Yes, we stayed home, and yes, we were in bed before 10:00.

I got Avery this cute headband for Christmas.  I didn't even realize that she had a sweater to match it perfectly.  I also didn't realize that a 5 month old could even wear a headband and look so old because of it!

Undecorating the Christmas tree.  I really wanted a cute picture of Avery with the lights, but she was not cooperative when we decorated or undecorated.  She did love looking at them though!

Jeremy gave these to me earlier in the week for takingn care of all the Christmas details.  They are still beautiful!

Just got home from our candle-light Christmas Eve service and am taking some time to reflect on the real Christmas season.

We celebrated Christmas with Oma & Opa today.  They gave Jake a puzzle from Uncle Case (in Canada.)  The purpose of the puzzle was to make a square.  As I sat down to put it together I told Jake that it was a hard puzzle and he told me that he already knew how to do it.  This is what he came up with.

Jake was doing a craft when he said to me, "Mom, can you read these popcorn words?"  I am AMAZED!  I had no idea that he was reading words, much less spelling them out.
