JessicaLynn’s Neighborhood

All our love The Shepherds

So sorry for the long delay in an update.  I'm sure you all can relate with the hectic schedules that come with the holidays! Other than preparing for Christmas we've been LOVING the company of my parents! I'm so happy to have them here with us for Christmas.  The last two years it has been just our family together on Christmas so it's so nice to have family around.  Here are a few random pics from the last few weeks that I decided were blog worthy.

 

Moose and Bindi were hanging out in the back of Jess's truck supervising the hanging of Christmas lights.  Note the leg lamp from "A Christmas Story" in the window on the second floor. :-)

 

 

 

Here is Sydney next to her friend Sam (in the Santa hat) during their Christmas program at school.

 

 

We had a little snowfall this past week and the girls were in heaven! They loved seeing the snow and trying to catch the flakes on their tongues. It melted the next day but not before Syd and Jess built a miniature snowman and had a snowball fight.  Sydney looks like she was just white washed in this picture but Jess assured me that she piled the snow on her head all by herself. She looks kinda miserable though.  

Here we are in the woods this weekend hunting for the perfect tree, we had a wonderful time we had a fire, the four wheeler, sleds and lots of hot chocolate and chili

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is the final product we didn't realize how big it was so we had to cut a lot off

 

 

so frankie and i are living at heidi's now. max and frankie are finally getting used to each other. the other day when we dropped nana and g'pa off at the airport max reached over and held frankie's hand. no big deal. just my kiddos rule. anyhoo this is from thanksgiving. i am grateful for all of you. well most of you! ha.

We have been so busy, what with moving and Jeff's new job.  This was taken right before he flew out to New Mexico.  We all miss him, but are hanging in there and are so excited about this huge opportunity!  We have talked on Skype a few times and Kyler is pretty intrigued by that.

 

 

The girls were playing their brother and putting him down for a "nap" in the laundry basket.  And yes that is a pink binky.

 

After a long day!
