Painting the new house!

Before picture of the front room.

My happy helpers!

Here is the after picture, at night, anyways, you get the idea :) we went with a grey that would look good with the floor and white trim and I think it turned out great. Next on the list: paint the hallway and kitchen.

Scarlett turned 6!

Scarlett had a friend birthday party, she invited all the girls in her class. We had seven girls come, I am glad that was all that could make it :) Scarlett wanted a Tinkerbell fairy party, but the snow fairy, that I don't even know her name. So I had to be creative, but it turned out really cute with fairies and snowflakes.

We also had my family over that night, even though it was really snowy.

The snow!

We had so much snow! Most of you know that already, but I just can't believe how much snow we had. I also can't believe that we decided to wait until next winter to get a snow blower! Jon and I almost didn't make it through shoveling all that snow :) Our neighbors even came and helped us, we were so grateful, we wouldn't have been able to get out of the driveway if they didn't.

Christmas 2012

We had a wonderful Christmas, that being said, it was crazy for me! We moved in on December 15, with a lot of help from our poor families that had to help us move so close to Christmas. The kids were spoiled this year, not that they aren't every year :)

Atticus' 8th Birthday

So life got crazy for awhile, since last October when we were trying to buy a house. SO... I am going to attempt to start blogging again because I really like looking back on my old posts.

Atticus had a great birthday, I remember he didn't want a friend party, but wanted his cousins to come over and play Minecraft all night. So that's what we tried to do for him :) We gave him a remote controlled helicopter.
