I am a big fan of advent conspiracy! I shared it on this here blog last year and somehow ended up doing much of what I said I wouldn't! We are doing it this year though. We are headed to Colorado for Christmas with my whole family and that is about it for the kids gifts this year. (For those possibly feeling a bit sad for them, there will be 9 cousins and skiing involved!)

look who is 3!
Eyasu celebrated his 3rd birthday this weekend. So much fun to see it all through his eyes. He was super giddy and didn't have a clue what all of the fuss was about though. He would clap his hands, smile and say "happy birthday!!"

Maybe Santa will bring me a new camera this year??

porterhouse

The Porter's are dear friends of ours and they are adopting from Ethiopia. We are thrilled. :) We just adore this family and can't wait to see exactly what children the Lord has for them in Ethiopia. They have begun to fundraise with 147 million orphans- another favorite of mine. :) The shirts are the most comfortable you will wear- stop by the Porter's blog and buy a shirt while you are there. It will help lower the staggering number of 147 million by 2!

love him
Little man cracks us up! We are all doing remarkably well. Still not 100% physically as we all fight colds, etc. Overall, simply amazed at the work the Lord has done. Abe thinks he might be the funniest person he has ever seen! How great is that?

Avery's productive Thanksgiving break!
Shockingly, we didn't take home the gold. Moody does however look fabulous in his pink unitard. You could spend hours on jib jab- Avery made this last night and I thought it was hilarious. It may be the sleep deprivation though. :)
