More Fun Pictures!

Adding a few more pictures reflecting what has been going on around our house these days! With is being so bitterly cold outside (teens!) lately, we've been stuck indoors. While I remember loving those days full of old movies, blankets and the couch, Jia doesn't love these kinds of days so much! So she loves to ride her bike around the house and create general chaos around here. We wouldn't have it any other way (the chaos, I mean)! Jia is so very wonderful but I've said that many times before. She is smart and clever and funny and beautiful. Enjoy the pictures!

Happy Holidays!

Hi all! We're fulling embracing the holiday spirit around here! We've made sugar cookies, ginger bread houses (not yet decorated but made from scratch by Jia's fabulous daddy) and have the house fully decorated! How do we find the energy? Your guess is as good as mine! Hah. But it's been a delightful several weeks leading up to Christmas. Jia is very excited for Santa to come. She is beginning to understand a bit about how cool Santa is to bring gifts each year. It's very hard for her because she feels the excitement all around but doesn't yet fully grasp it all. Everyone here is great. Cousin Duncan is visiting with his family in IL and she misses him but knows he'll be back soon! We're all ramped up and ready for the holiday! Hope you are all well and enjoying your time with family and friends.
