Christmas Day...

It is a good thing that Santa knows how to find even the newest houses and addresses that are not even registered at the post office yet :)  HE CAME!!  Santa brought Anderson a new bike, Hot Wheels Car Maker, and a basketball goal for his room.  He brought Karoline a new American Girl doll, Marie Grace, the AG snack cart, and bunk beds with precious bedding.  

We had a wonderful relaxing day in our new home... TJ's gift to me was finding the silverware so we had something to eat Christmas dinner with :)  The living room was well put together and we shut the doors to all the other rooms of the house pretending there where not moving boxes behind them :) haha... It was a "different" Christmas this year and Mom was very sick and could only join un for opening gifts in the morning.  That made us quite sad but at least she had a quiet home all to herself to rest in! Thankful for a wonderful Christmas celebrating our Saviors birth in our new home!  

Patiently waiting to be able to come downstairs

Christmas Eve

What an AMAZING Christmas Eve!  We got to have our Christmas Eve service at The House of Blues!!!!!!  It was just incredible to see my husbands dream become a reality!  I'm so very proud of him, the band, and everyone on staff! And I got to be in the choir... where I really couldn't be heard and its for the best :) haha... After we headed home we had our traditional Christmas Eve dinner.  The sad part of the evening was that Mom was very sick and so was Karoline.  They had to watch the service from a private room upstairs but I am so thankful they got to at least be there!  Karoline had a fever but being the sweet spirited child that she is she did not skip a beat! Thankful for a wonderful Christmas Eve with my church family and family! 

House is FINISHED!!

How lucky are we... we got the keys to our house a week early!!  Just in time to try and get a little settled for Christmas!  Because it was TJ's busiest week at work we ended up having to hire movers and they were with us ALL DAY!  I am thankful for their help... we are so blessed and I am more than excited to spend Christmas in our home!
