December Fun

This month has afforded lots of fun activities for the kids...

Making gingerbread houses thanks to an early Christmas present. (He actually loved it, and this face is his attempt at a "sweet smile")

Painting with some new art supplies

A trip to Oma and Opa's house

Making Christmas cookies and playing superheros with our adopted college students from church.


A visit from Papaw today

And some good old baths- This happens to be one of my favorite Karis-faces!

Christmas Trees and Babies

I've been a little delinquent in the blogging department. Mostly because I've been going to bed at 8:30 or 9:00 most nights-exhausted. Because...I'm PREGNANT! We're expecting a sweet little addition to our family at the end of June. Everyone is super excited, especially Krieg, whose response when we told him was, "How can I take care of two little sisters?" Such a sweet big brother!

This weekend we managed a trip to the Stewart Family Tree Farm to see lots of friends from Cullowhee and cut down a Christmas tree. They had a hay ride, hot chocolate and lots of trees for Krieg and his old buddies to play hide and seek in. We actually lost Krieg in the trees for a good 5 minutes because he had such a good hiding spot. Here are a few shots from the day.

We got to see Amanda and sweet baby Haley!

And here is the finished tree!
