Makenna-4 Months!

Again, time has flown! Makenna rolled from her back to her tummy for the first time yesterday. She loves playing with toys, but occasionally the toys or blankets fight back...hence the pictures of these items on her face. Makenna can't pull them off, so there they sit until someone takes them off. She thinks it's funny for awhile, but then starts to cry. She is super happy, as long as she gets her naps and food. Makenna has started experimenting with her voice to see how many sounds she can make.

Pretty Little Piggies

Over the weekend, we had a fingernail painting session at our house (girls only). I have a feeling we will be having lots of those over the years. :) Anyway, we decided to paint Makenna's piggies. How darling are these?! Hehe

Our House

After finishing our kitchen over a year ago, we started saving for our next project. After some discussion, we decided to work on the outside of our house. I have had my eye on a particular house that I've loved driving past for 5 years and we decided to use that as our model. We decided, mid-project, to add a little porch, which I love. The deck was just finished on Friday. It still needs to be stained in the Spring, but we will enjoy it before then! The house turned out even better than I had hoped (besides our yard being a mud pit now)! I love it!

Botanical Gardens

We've gone to the Botanical Gardens at Christmas time for the past several years. The kids love seeing all the decorations, trains and plants. The theme this year was "Fairies" and it was awesome!

SNOW!

The kids have been praying for snow. We received a little bit...just enough for us to break out all the snow clothes to sled down our neighbors hill. Bart is always so great to go out and play with the kiddos. They love their Dad!

Christmas

Our Christmas vacation was wonderful! Since Bart has been so busy the last couple months, it was great to just be together. Here are some pics of the kids with their favorite gifts. They were all super happy with what Santa brought!
