So I have been very behind this year. I do have a good excuse though...I'm making a baby. 5 more weeks to go, and it can't come soon enough. So these pictures are from January. The first picture is of Three Kings day. This is our second year celebrating it. Some people do presents on this day, but we do a "cake" (it was banana bread baked in a bunt pan) with a coin hidden in it and then whoever finds the coin gets to wear the crown. And then we read about the wise men coming to Jesus.
It is very simple, but the kids like it. So we will continue to do it until they grow out of it... :(
Addy got a tea set from Grandma for Christmas and it is so fun to see all the kids playing together. Spencer usually takes charge and loves to direct...boss...everyone in their play. They go through spirts, for a week or so they played tea party, then it morphed into restaurant, now it has moved on to fort building. So right now our living room is a mess of blankets, pillows, baskets and chairs...everyday this week so far. I try to keep my eyes on above the mess whenever I walk through the living room. This is hard especially when I have to look down all the time so that I don't trip...my big belly has affected my graceful ability to walk.
Near the middle of the month we had a fun visit from Brian sister, Michelle and her husband Jared...and the "new" (to us) baby, Ezra. He is so cute and smiley. We love him! The kids enjoyed him too, especially Addy. She loves babies. We miss our cousins when they are away from us. Hopefully someday we will be able to have cousins closer. There are still more January pictures to come. Hopefully I can get all caught up before the baby comes.
