Our new home

We got an early Christmas present the week before Christmas. We moved into a new rental home. This house is perfect for us and we are more than excited to be living here. It sits on 39 acres, but we basically keep up 2 acres. It's a little farmhouse with 4 bedrooms, 1 bath, 1 amazing toyroom and a HUGE living room. It's in the country and although we have neighbors, it is so quite at night. We can see the stars and we live right next to my cousin Andrea and her little family. It is truly a dream come true and we just pray that we can stay here awhile.

We were so blessed to spent 7 amazing months with my mom and Tim. We can't thank them enough for their hospitality. It was strange moving out, because I have never lived in Evansville without living in their house. It's crazy to have my own home in this city. Now my parents can truly be grandparents. They can come over and play and then go home to their own home, which they are able to now keep clean. Thank you so much Nana and Papaw for letting us live with you and for helping us raise our children these last 7 months. We love you so much and are so glad to give you your house back! Now, go on a date for goodness sakes!!!

Andrew took some pictures of our little home for your viewing pleasures. Isn't it adorable!!!??

The first thing Finley and I did while moving in was put up the Christmas tree. It was a must. It warmed our hearts and made our house a home for sure.

Every year the "Christmas Mouse" comes the first of December and brings little prizes for the girls. The last 10-15 days he brings pieces of the nativity, so that Baby Jesus comes on Christmas Eve. This year we chose a Charlie Brown nativity. It was perfect. Finley was excited for Baby Jesus to come and she laughed pretty hard when she realized it was Woodstock!

1/2 of the living room on Christmas eve night.... while the girls were nustled in their beds fast asleep!

Can you see the Barbie house waiting for Finley? I love how the tree glows in this picture. As cheesy as it sounds, I cannot explain how nice it was to sit in my own home and wrap presents on Christmas eve. So fun!

The stockings were hung on the chimeny that doesn't work... haha....

The tree with a little more light for ya:

My favorite Nativity all set out just in time for Christmas!

A new nativity from Uncle Nick and Kelsey! I love the cow!

Robbie the Elf on the Shelf found his final resting place

A few from the street on Christmas morning... Yes, we had a white Christmas this year!

We are so blessed and cannot begin to Thank God for His many blessings. We are overwhelmed with peace this holiday season and wish the same for you!
