Since I'm incredibly behind updating this blog, I thought I'd just post all the pics from the remainder of 2015 in one post, then the pics from 2016 up until Naamen's birth in another post. So here goes nothing --
On Thanksgiving eve, we had the Smith family members come to our home for a taco dinner. This was the first time many of them came into our home since we'd moved in and was no longer "Grandmother's home."
We converted what used to be an indoor greenhouse into a play area. The kids had a great time.
Then Christmas decoration took place right after Thanksgiving season was over. Proud elfs.
Byron and his growing collection of nutcrackers.
Over the Advent season, the kids and I did some crafts/devotionals using the Truth in the Tinsel curriculum. We all so very much enjoyed it.
And then I braved doing cutouts one afternoon with the kiddos. It was fun and messy.
Mid- December we traveled to Birmingham to see our cousins. We had a great time!
Byron is the big cousin.
We had some great library time, with some singing and dancing involved.
And a trip to the zoo. Perfect weather for it all.
Then one day we got together with some friends and made some Christmas cookies. Fun and crazy!
Christmas eve and our Christmas jammies.
Christmas morning. Opening stockings.
Ames and Ezra's Christmas gift was a hit with the kiddos. Thankfully neither Emma nor Byron were very interested in driving it, which made it a pretty painless event for us all. No tears.
In the kitchen with my favorites!
My handsomes.
On New Year's Eve, after a breakfast for dinner meal, the kids and daddy "camped" out in our back porch. The kids loved it! (And daddy too).
