christmas and so on...


hey everyone! once again i apologize for my lack of postings lately. Christmas came and went so fast, and although it was great to see everyone again, im glad its over, as allistiar got barely any sleep over the holidays. Speaking of allisitar, he now has one little tooth peaking through and another just about to come through. hes busy biting anything that comes within a foot of his mouth and is also starting to pull himself around. Life with him never gets dull and its such a blessing having him in our lives.
My mom has just recently tought me how to do quilting, so i am really loving doing that in my spare time! julian likes to laugh at my new little hobbies, just because most of them i swore i'd never do. i really have turned into my mother!
Julian and i have also become quite good friends with 2 young couples from our church. We have gone to their house a few times and today we went over to celebrate their oldest son sammys 4th birthday! they have a 2 yr old, and also a 6 month old baby who is allistiars good friend! its so fun to watch them together! its a real blessing to finally have good married friends to hang out with. Its encouraging especially for me to have someone i know we can talk to whenever we need to. Im so thankful for them!
anyways, i have to cut this short because allistiar is getting grumpy, (bed time i think!?) so i'll just leave you with a few pictures from christmas.
all us kids made gingerbread houses on boxing day. i had an 'accident w/ my first, so im holding my unfinished 2nd.
allistiar loved getting to see auntie kris again!
over the christmas break, julian really enjoyed getting to know caleb a bit better, one day he and caleb helped calebs family make home-made sausage. julian hasnt stopped talking about it!
well, i'll leave it at that for now ,but we hope you had a very merry christmas and really great holidays!
