Our Anniversary...

We had a fabulous New Year's with our friends Josh & Amy, and an even more wonderful anniversary. As of this moment, we have been married for 13 years, 1 day, 9 hours, and approximately 12 minutes (give or take). hehehe..

My great idea...

To heighten the Christmas morning fun for Natasha and Connor, Mommy, Daddy, (and Santa), put wallet-size printed pictures of the gift recipient on the outside of the wrapping. This way Natasha can have fun figuring out which presents are hers and which are her brother's.

Christmas Lights - Check!

We got our lights up! We got our lights up! Yeah US! I also raked my very own leaves, off my very own lawn, for the very 1st time. It was thrilling.

Choo-Choo! With fond memories of Netzley fun, the Kellams family successfully completes its first gingerbread project.

It's Begining To Look A Lot Like Christmas...

It's Begining To Look A Lot Like Christmas... We have our first tree in our new house, up, lit and decorated. Natasha is still our master tree-trimmer. We have a real, bonified, outdoor-decoration for the first time in my adult life. A happy waving snowman greets all who come by, day or night (Thank You Uncle Lee). Also, super exciting for me, (and also for the first time in my adult life), passer-byers can see our beautiful lit tree through the curtains of our front window. It feels fantastic to be a part of the neighborhood's Christmas spirit. We often go as a family for a drive or stroll around our little neighborhood to enjoy the lights and decorations. It is like our own little "Christmas Tree Lane".
