I can’t believe my baby turns 2 today!  Vivienne has brought so much to our lives and I couldn’t imagine not having her.  She is sweet, determined, strong-willed, and SUPER snuggly,

 

 

The kids got a swing set for Christmas, and they’ve really been enjoying it!  And a huge thank you to daddy for taking all the time to put it together, it was no small task!

Someday we’ll go cut down our Christmas tree but for now the local place in our town is perfect for us.  The kids love getting candy canes, running through all the trees,and watching the tree get ready to be taken home.  I love the tree we got this year!  It’s a Natural Fir, meaning it has had little to no trimming and the gentleman described it as an old time Christmas tree.  It’s what I’ve envisioned for the past couple years!  Now we just have to decorate it.

They were so excited about the snow!  All they wanted to do was eat it 🙂

It’s starting to get cold here in Michigan and to be honest I’m not looking forward to it!  After spending so much time outside since this past spring it’ll be hard being inside more.  But a goal of mine for this winter is to make a point of getting the kids outside everyday!  There are days it’s going to tough but we’re all much happier when we’re able to spend at least a little bit of time outside!
