This was a full week with lots of Christmas countdown/prep/celebration. It was also the countdown to the end of the year, the deadline for lots of things work-related for Shaun and I. I worked to keep the "reason for the season" in mind.

In anticipation of K moving out on January 1, we started swapping bedrooms, now each kid will have their own space.

I had a vision for this large wall in our "game room" to be a cousin wall, filled with prints of some of our favorite people in the world.
Shaun measured it out precisely, never once complaining or even sighing, although hanging pictures is a despised job.

Couple more photos to choose, but mostly done! :)
We picked up the new-to-us ping pong table that we bought the kids for Christmas...its been a hit!

It was so sweet to watch the kids excitedly and thoughtfully shop for each other and wrap.

Christmas party at youth group with a "Great Gatsby" theme....they looked amazing and so grown up! While they were there, Shaun and I attended a neighborhood party...it was a nice time of connecting with neighbors who we are working on making friends (pictures got lost on my phone).

Shaun's sister hosted Christmas, which is always a special time, and this year with more kids than ever! :)

The morning after Christmas means Lego construction. :)
The wall looks so good! What a pain it is to hang them but what an impact it makes! The girls looked so beautiful for the Christmas party! All the heart eyes for Amanda's dress!!!
