Christmas Time

We have had a bit of a difficult time getting a great photo of both girls. Below is our first attempt at holiday card pictures - we don't want to show the one we ended up with. Things have been so crazy, we have only put up the tree with lights on it. We don't think we will actually decorate it this year, though, but the girls seem to be happy with it lit so that works for us. Aaron put the outside lights up as well, but beyond that, our decorations are still in their boxes in the garage! Lauren was a part of the behind-the-scenes at our church's annual Christmas program and that has kept us pretty busy, in addition to our regular routine and holiday season.

Jordyn had her first trip to Build a Bear with her Grandpa Fred (GrandpaOmat) and Oma this weekend. She had a great time making her bear. It reminds us of an '80's workout bear with pink pants and a sequin tank top. What a great time - thanks GrandpaOmat and Oma!



Also, Uncle Bryan came to visit for Thanksgiving. Here is Jordyn playing with Uncle Bryan.

Lauren's friends Jessica and Erick moved back to California from Colorado and shared Thanksgiving with us and the kids finally got to meet. Here is Jordyn playing with her new friends Summer and Jack.
