{Christmas} 2015

Christmas 2015 was...

simple and special

 

filled with family

a few gifts

and our Happy Birthday, Jesus party

in the barn.

It was probably my favorite Christmas ever!

 

Seth is 6!!!

Seth is 6!

 

He requested a celebration at the creek just like his brother. 

So that's how we celebrated his birthday, Saturday. 

We searched for shells, skipped rocks, and enjoyed time with family and friends.

Happy Birthday, my boy!

Silas is 4!

Silas is 4!

On Saturday, we celebrated his birthday with friends and family at the creek that's a mile from our house. Our boy searched for treasures in the creek, ate gluten-free Funfetti cake, bashed a thrifted bull pinata, and opened a few presents.

 

 

 

 

  

Monday (his actual birthday), he enjoyed some frozen yogurt from Stakz, made special by some candles and a birthday hat,

and licked his birthday lollipop on the front porch.

 

I hope it was one incredible birthday weekend for our sweet, adorable 4 year old!

First Day of Spring 2015

It's officially Spring! 

Today we celebrated (after our morning at Co-op) by...

picking daffodils

  

creating art with Spring stamps

 reading (only a few) books from our Spring collection

 helping the birds create colorful nests

 filling our bird feeders

watering our seedlings

 

and preparing our porch for lots of time spent outdoors

 

 Happy First Day of Spring!

A Tooth Celebration

Last night, Seth lost his first tooth!

 So today we celebrated...

 We added some tooth activities to our day.

  

And every (first) tooth lost in our family gets a "tooth" cake. 

 Silas is only three and he's already looking forward to losing his first tooth.

Christmas 2014

This Christmas season included...

a nativity parade, caroling, 

 and an ugly sweater party

crafting homemade presents

silly family photos

 

a special Christmas Eve service

 

a few simple gifts

  

and our annual Happy Birthday, Jesus party

We hope your holiday season was filled with as much love and joy as ours.
Merry Christmas!

Happy Winter Solstice 2014!

On this darkest day of the year, we embrace the new season. Here's to eating dinner by candlelight, slowing down, and gaining strength to hit the ground running in Spring. Happy First Day of Winter!

Seth is 5!

 Today Seth is 5!

We had a birthday celebration on Saturday for him that included homemade strawberry cake, scooter riding, lunch at Chuck E. Cheese (they have gluten-free pizza!), a laid-back party at home, and playing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The day was filled with family and friends and our boy had such a good time!
