Oct 2015-Feb 2016

I want to revisit this little blog. Since my last post in Dec 2015, a lot has happened! The kids have, of course, grown and we welcomed our fourth addition, Harper Jane, to the crew on June 28, 2019. So, let's play a little catch up!

December 2015 - Andrew's 2nd Birthday

Well, it's been forever since I've updated this little blog, so I'm trying to get back on track! Nothing like three kids under six to keep life a little busy. :) In December, we celebrated Andrew's second birthday with a little visit from Santa and a Christmas themed event. Everyone seemed to have fun and it got us all in the Christmas spirit.

 We started out with some crafting.

 Lots of sweet friends

We had to point out our special visitor to Andrew.

Santa is helping out too.

Everyone joined in some singing after Santa read some stories (somewhat out of order...)
