First there was Christmas


Here we are on Christmas Day. We spent Christmas Eve with at the Jensens and had a lot of fun! Afterwards, we had a slumber party with Jake's family and stayed up to put out presents and play games. The girls got this awesome rocking carousel horse. Jake faux painted this rich old couple's house and they had this horse so Jake asked if we could do a trade for it and all their kids and grand kids were grown so they agreed to it. It is so fun and the girls love it!

























It was the Banners' year for Christmas dinner but with Jakes' parents getting a divorce and all the craziness, we decided to just do our own thing. It was good for us to just be together and do whatever we wanted and not have to please everyone else. We ate at T.G.I.Fridays. It was the only place open and it was packed but it so fun just the four of us.

These are just cute chairs we got the girls. We have to two of the exact same matching thing so they don't fight over everything. We have learned our lesson about trying to get them different things.
