Our happenings!

This week Scott is finishing the laundry room! Im so excited because our laundry room is part of the new garage which is very cold this time of year. Part of our grand plan was to close it in before this winter. Well winter came quicker than we expected I guess because it is cold! Since I do 99% of the laundry in our home Im ready to have the area heated. It is also our mud room for coats and shoes. The girls hate putting on ice cold shoes and coats. So hard to please! haha. Im hoping by this evening this newest phase of our home remodel will be finished by tonight. May be wishful thinking but it has to get done before the pipes freeze this next week with low temps in the single digits. Im so lucky to have a great hard working husband!!
The kids and I are anxiously awaiting Christmas! It has been so much fun this year as they finally remember what Christmas is from years past. So we have been going around looking at Christmas lights and let me tell you it doesnt take much of a display to get them excited! We do have a farm 2 miles from our home which goes all out and decorates all three homes and the barns and their yards. We call it the Christmas Wonderland! It is awesome! Everyone in Greenwood visits the display every year. We can visit it every night! We hope in the van and drive through a couple nights a week for something to do. It doesnt take much to make a (almost) 3 and 4 yr old happy. Weve visited the museum one day last week and once this week as they have their famous Jolly Days exhibit. With that comes a huge slide from the 2nd floor down to the 1st. All three kids LOVE it! Caleb giggles everytime with huge smiles! There is also a huge pretend cooking Stove with all kinds of foods and desserts with many familiar kitchen gadgets that Mommies and Daddies use at home. This is one of our favorite annual exhibits at the museum. So amazing to live so close to such a great facility! This week we hope to also visit Christmas at the Zoo as Im sure if the girls dont freeze to death they will love!
We are looking forward to celebrating Christmas for 3 days with Scott's family, my family, and by ourselves. I think Im more excited than anyone else! (This coming from someone who didnt enjoy the Christmas celebrations for many years!) I hope when the celebrating has ended the girls will remember that it was all because of Jesus!!
