Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
After our church egg hunt, we had another egg hunt that afternoon with our awesome neighborhood! The rain was threatening all day but it held out and we all had the best time! Look at this cute crew…
The big kids hunted eggs across the street in front of the school while the little kids stuck to one of our yards. I didn’t take any pics – was too busy having fun!
So thankful for our awesome neighborhood!
As I mentioned last week, there have been some big changes for Samantha around here! After a looong construction process, we finally had Samantha’s “big girl” room to a place where she could move in! Even though we’ve been planning to move her for months, it happened quickly and I’m so glad I snapped these pictures 2 days before we moved her…
My sweet baby in her final days in her crib. Sniff sniff. I told my mom it was kind of sad to be packing up her crib after having one in my house for 7.5 years. She told me I could always have another! Yeah….I wasn’t quite THAT sad! ha!
Samantha is 3 years and 1 month and was more than ready for her big girl bed. She was so excited to be there and looks so cozy piled up in between all of those pillows…
She’s slept great. We’re working through leaving the hallway or bathroom light on, but overall I can’t complain at all. She sleeps all night, takes great naps, and absolutely loves her wonderful big girl room! I’m still waiting on a few things to come in and then will share all the pics!

It’s almost Christmas! We’ve been to parties with friends…
We’ve seen Santa (several times!)…

Our decorations are festive…
Advent calendars are almost full, presents are wrapped, cookies are baked. Yep,
We…
Are…
Ready!!
Santa Claus is coming to town!
After a full morning of snow fun, the kids took a little rest but then went straight back out that afternoon! Snowball fights, more snowmen, and the best time ever!
Look how deep the snow was!
Then the snowball fights began…
My favorite…boom in the face!
Making a snowman…
They built this one without any help at all!
Finally, just a few pictures around the yard to remember how covered everything was!
By the next morning the roads were fine and it was melting quickly…
What a fantastic, unexpected snow day in early December!!
I think it’s definitely a sign that it’s going to be a very merry Christmas!
So, the forecast was calling for a light dusting of snow Friday morning. I didn’t pay that much attention to it and rolled my eyes a bit when they called on Thursday night to say school was delayed school until 10:00 the next morning. I got up and went to the gym early and a few flakes were falling from the sky. It was pretty and I knew the kids would like it. When I got home I ran outside to get a picture of the house in snow as I didn’t know how long the snow would last.
I took this at 6:45am…
It started coming and didn’t stop! I then took this picture at 7:45am…
It snowed all morning long! I took this picture at 10:45am…
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow! We ended up getting about 4.5 inches! The kids were obviously thrilled and couldn’t wait to get out and play in it. It was the perfect snow too – light and fluffy without much ice on the roads. Thankfully I had bought snow suits for the kids last year so we were all prepared! They geared up and headed out in to play!
I took about a million pictures of them building snowmen (4 in total!), playing with the neighborhood kids, throwing snowballs, and basically having the most fun ever. I’m just going to put all the pictures up so enjoy all these scenes from our fantastic snow day!
And that was just the morning fun! They went back out in the afternoon for more snow play! Don’t worry, I have pics of that too. 🙂
See you tomorrow!
