On Friday, Jake took both the girls to the daddy/daughter valentines day dance. This was Taylor's, 3rd year and Kamdyn's very 1st time. They had such a good time. They danced, ate candy and just had fun with their daddy. I remember the daddy/daughter dances that I attended with my dad. Such a great memory!
So, after Friday I decided to have the girls lay low the rest of the weekend. This included no church for us yesterday. Jake went without us! Plus, Ta complained of a tummy ache.
This morning we woke up to about 1 to 2 inches of snow and Taylor woke up with spots! Yep, the chicken pox! I actually, could not be more excited for our children to be getting the chicken pox. We decided not to vaccinate for this reason. The only hard part of course is the itching, but also the staying home until they scab over! So, I'm happy that we didn't go to church on Sunday. So all of the other little 5 year olds are not full of spots today!

Vacation
This past week, we went to Branson MO and stayed in an awesome, peaceful cabin.
Branson, is 3 1/2 hours south east of us. Its a tourist place, but it was so much fun!
The weather was beautiful all but one day.
We took the kids to an arcade one of the days and we had a blast. I think Jake and I had more fun playing the games and winning the tickets and the girls loved picking out prizes.
The girls have really become best friends in the last few weeks. They even tell each other they are best friends! Isn't that cute!
Harp, has his 3rd tooth coming in at the top.
He actually took 2 steps at the cabin but hasn't taken anymore since then.
Back to real life tomorrow. Jake goes back to work and we go back to our daily routine.
I booked my very first wedding, for photography. The bride emailed me and we met on Saturday. She's getting married in June. I have two other brides that have contacted me as well. One for another June and one for November. I can't even explain how excited I am!

Happy 1st Birthday Harper
Wednesday January 5th, was Harper's first birthday!
I'm not sure where the last year has gone.
We celebrated the day with a ton of errands, to get ready for his party on Friday. We also had lunch at Chick fila.
He didn't eat lunch but everyone else did!
The girls have had Chick Fila, maybe 3 times in their lives, so Kamy didn't even know what to think about a chicken nugget. I think she didn't really like it.
Anyways, we had Harps birthday yesterday. We celebrated it at 1:00pm and we actually had the party outside on the deck! The kids got to play on the swing set.
It was gorgeous out, 60s and sunny. We did a zoo themed party. Complete with games, snacks and chocolate covered frozen banana's for the "cake." They were yummy, a hit with the kids and parents. Harp, had a banana layered, yogurt cake. When your parents eat healthy, you do not get sugar on your first birthday! He loved it and did a classic "let me just dig my face in this." Our girls never did that. They were very picky at getting dirty. I guess that's the difference between boys and girls.
It was fun and he had fun!
Happy 1st Birthday Harper Caid!

Merry Christmas!
What a day!
We actually had to cancel plans yesterday, because Kamy got a 24 hour bug.
It was very sad because we couldn't go to Christmas eve service and both her and Ta couldn't sing in the Christmas eve service!
This morning Jake had to worship lead the 9am service. So, we didn't put any presents out and didn't tell the kids it was Christmas. They woke up normal and we ate breakfast. Nana, got here and we pretended she was just hanging out!
When Jake was done, he called and headed home. My mom put the kids in the car and took them for a drive. Jake and I set up the million presents, literally. When we finished we called my mom. The kids came home and were shocked!
We yelled "Merry Christmas!"
Everyone was spoiled and it was a blast watching all of their faces.
Harp, enjoyed his first Christmas.
It was fun and I'll post pictures later!

GO!
Ready, set, go!
This is a busy weekend for us and probably the entire world!
Today, we had a family day. We took the kids ice skating, made puppy chow, built a fire, watched a veggie tales "St Nick" and drank hot chocolate! It was so much fun.
Tonight, Jacob and I will wrap all the kids presents.
Tomorrow, Jake has 3 services to lead. He's already spraying something "organic" into his throat to keep him from losing his voice!
The girls, will sing at the 4pm service. They practiced on Wednesday night and Kamy just yelled, I mean sang Jesus the whole time!
Then Sunday, we have a morning service and than Christmas!
I can't wait for the kids to open up presents! Its getting really fun and exciting around here with Ta and Kamy. Harp's still a little young!
Well....Merry Christmas!

5 days until....Chrismas
How is it 5 days until Christmas?
Tonight, I dyed macaroni noodles red and green for a little project that the girls will do tomorrow! Remember those noodle wreaths? If you were ever 5 you made a noodle wreath!
It keep us occupied for all of 15 minutes!
It's not as cold outside as it has been the last two years. I think were suppose to get snow on Friday. So, maybe it will be a white Christmas.
The girls are singing on Saturday night at church. The childrens choir will be singing "The Virgin Mary had a baby boy." They're pretty excited!
Harp finally has his first bottom tooth!!! It popped in about a week ago! We've waited for 11 months...and finally he has one!
I really can't wait for Christmas this year, with the kids.
Our real tree is as dead as a door nail because the heat makes it dry in the house. So, I'm a little nervous to even turn the lights on, on the tree.
It's so hard to tell your kids that there isn't a Santa clause, when the world revolves around a fake figure. But we do! We've been telling them the story of St Nick and that mommy and daddy are the one that buy the presents. It might sound outrageous to some, but we just feel like we are suppose go be honest. We want our children to know what the true meaning is and not some fake figure that has nothing to do with Christmas. It's hard for them to understand. We actually found a veggie tales on the story of St Nick!
Well....we have a crazy busy next few days, all for 15 minutes of openin presents on Sunday!
Merry Christmas!
