Our Christmas home

Well we have been busy decking the halls here. I always love putting up my Christmas decorations. The whole season just makes me happy! Each year I get to decorate a bit more, since the kids are older and get not to mess with stuff as much now. Anyhow, enjoy the pictures of our home all dressed up for the holidays!

Here is a few more from recent Instagram. Rory had a cold, so was pretty absent this round. But is all better now. We got some snow, which quickly melted away. Snuggled us as usual and enjoyed keeping nice and warm.

Week 47: mystery

It is a mystery to me where my 4 year old learned how to create a keep out sign for her brothers. I spotted this while cleaning, and had to catch a shot of it!

Week 46: Sudden

We hardly ever get snow in the south. And we really never see any during Fall. So when the rain suddenly changed over to falling flakes we all went out to enjoy the brief snowfall!

Happy Birthday Fuad

We celebrated Fuad's Birthday for a whole weekend last week. We feel he is more worthy of a whole week long celebration, but people have to work too, right?!? Anyhow, we got to spend time with my parents, and some of Fuad's family that is nearby and it was a wonderful weekend. I always think

it is so hard to properly share with my husband just how much we love him, and how awesome he is. I am pretty sure he knows both though. In any case, he is my best friend, a wonderful Father to our kids, and one hell of a happy Birthday boy! We love you Fuad!

Halloween '13

The kids dying to get started...

Fuad and I dressed as characters from Wreck it Ralph

 So we were spared and did not get soaked with rain! Horray! The forcast kept calling for it in the afternoon, but it held off until this morning. The kids all had a blast, as always. Fuad and I dressed up this year, which was equally as fun! And now the kids are looking forward to pouring out candy and enjoying it through the weekend! And below are a few shots of the kids in their costumes we took for them in case Halloween was a wash.
