Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Christmas was upon us so quickly, we were only able to enjoy our decorations for about a week, but since the decorations aren't the true reason we celebrate Christmas, it was kind of refreshing. We did leave the tree up with lights on it until after New Years. We changed things up a little this year and spent our first Christmas in our home. In years past, we've traveled every Christmas to be with family. This Christmas we went to a Christmas Eve service at our church and Christmas morning we woke up in our new home to breakfast casserole and monkey bread while we opened presents. Just before lunch we packed up and drove to my folks to spend a couple days with them. The boys enjoyed some hunting and the girls relaxed and visited with family.

After two and a half months of transition, it finally seems like we are settling in to our new home. The kids are off on their third day in their new schools (it is really quiet around the house)! The faculty and staff at both schools are super friendly and have made the transition a lot easier for all of us. So far we've gotten good reports from the kiddos!
