Tree decorating

We got the tree up and decorated last weekend. It's so much fun to watch the girls get into the decorationg! They are really beginning to understand Christmas this year. O. even asked me if Mary nursed baby Jesus. (In her own descriptive words, of course.)

Handy girl

Our new appliances were finally delivered Wednesday afternoon before Thanksgiving! Here, I. is busy "helping" grandpa B. install the dishwasher.

Cousins are fun!

We have been so blessed to have R. with us twice a week! It's giving the girls good practice sharing mommy for when we have another baby. They are both great helpers!

Piano Lessons

O. had her first piano lesson on Tuesday. So far she loves it, and enjoys practicing, too. Here she is with her teacher, Amy, and Amy's youngest daughter.

Pretty girls

The girls posed in their new outfits on Sunday. Olivia is especially proud of her new shoes that she picked out herseld. Isabelle finally fits into the outfit I got her in Kenya, and she loves it.

Cousin R. and our family

It sure is nice to have a baby to visit us!

More cousins

R. is already getting so big! He's a fun baby! Stef had to go back to work this week, which means we got to have R. He sure is a fun baby! These are a couple really good shots of Stef and R.

Cousins

Cousins are so fun! S., Kristin, K. and Heather's mom came up for a weekend a few weeks ago. The girls had so much fun with their cousin Sophia! Thanks for a fun weekend!
