1 :: the boys and I sat outside in the car after meeting with the title company while daddy went into the bank. the house buying process turned out to be much more complicated than anyone ever tells you!
2 :: we are finally home owners! we got the keys just two mintues before the moving truck arrived with our stuff. talk about perfect timing.
3 :: Grandma came to help unpack (she also came for some cuddle time with the grandkids). we loved having her here and were sad to see her go.
4 :: the very last box was unpacked just one day after the moving trucks arrived. thanks to family who came to our rescue and helped out big time!
5 :: Tiny's tooth marks in a banana. I love that gap of his.
6 :: received our very first package in the mail at our new home. salted caramel hot chocolate on a stick from ticketkitchen.com. oh so good. a huge thanks to sweet Amber for the perfect house warming gift!
7 :: prepping for Tiny's first birthday. we kept it very low key and it was awesome.
8 :: when I say low key, I mean it. we bought the cake from Costco!
9 :: I'm pretty sure Tiny loved his cake. he just ate the frosting off of it for the longest time, but eventually dug in. he was savoring every single bite.
10 :: we headed to Idaho for Thanksgiving with Jer's family. I had my very first Black Friday shopping experience. the highlight was seeing these two kiddos with their daddies as content as can be. we lucked out bringing such happy kids along!
11 :: this guy slept for about 15 minutes during the trip home. he screamed bloody murder for the remaining 3 hours. he still hates the car... and I'm starting to as well. hoping that whole "beam me up, scotty" thing comes to real life soon.
12 :: Jer's brother came to help put Christmas lights up last weekend. they did a great job and finished in under an hour. impressive.
13 :: oh didn't you know? it's Halloween around here. all. the. time.
14 :: we ate leftover birthday cake to celebrate Michael's birthday. we lit a candle and sang happy birthday to him. Little Guy loved it!
15 :: my little "helper".
16 :: I love waking up to this scene each morning. we are so excited and ready for Christmas in our new home!
Looks like a great month.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy for you guys getting settled in your new home just in time for Christmas! I had to laugh at the picture of Little Guy dressed in a costume... my kids have been dressing in their Halloween costumes at least once a week since Halloween. I love the stocking hanger! I could use one of those. Our stockings are hanging right in front of our t.v. Glad you had such a fun month!
ReplyDeleteSo exciting that you are all settled in your new house! I can't believe your Tiny Man is 1 already!!
