five + two

I was going through my pictures and came across these. Since I'm blogging again and all I thought I'd put them up. It was such a fun time, and I figure I'll remember it better if I have it on the blog. Nate was gone at Presbytery so my sister offered to come up and "do life" with me. We decided it was fun to "do life" together and think we should do it more!
Here's Jode doing what she does so well, baking!  She even bakes with kids.  Not me.  I'm scared.

We got to help my folks decorate for Christmas this year and it ended up being all the more special because we missed our actual Christmas celebration with them and my sisters due to the flu and pneumonia :( Our kids were enchanted by their Christmas decorations, it was so fun to see them explore each decoration as it would come out of the box.
 My dad set up and electric train and the kids loved it, the only problem was trying to keep Henry's little paws off of it.
