My dad came to help us landscape a bit and poor dad ended up building us a fence. I put him to W.O.R.K.!!! He really blessed us. Here are some befores and afters...

We can't finish the fence (one section left) until the electric company removes the pole because it's rotten. When the finally do this it has been 2 and a half weeks we can finish the front of our yard (plants and more rock...easy) and the fence. We put up the white board so Samuel and the dog would stay put in the front yard. :)

We rocked some of the front yard...swing set is now in the rock along with a small play structure.

Our lovely gate David built.

Samuel is FINALLY fenced in! :) yeah...thanks Dad/Grandpa!

Samuel before his first haircut.

The curls were cute and sweet.....BUT difficult to take care of on a 2 year old boy!

Samuel's First Haircut....

New Year's Eve

Rock Stars!

Christmas dinner at our friends' house (Jenny on my left). We have been having Christmas dinner there every year...they don't have family here either.

Here is the little man getting pulled up the hill and being filmed by his mumsy. Sorry it is a little bumpy...It doesn't look like much of a hill...but it IS I promise...it made me tired.

Christmas Afternoon: Sledding across the street from our home. Sam's first experience. I pulled him around on the sled and he loved it.

Christmas morning...playing our all new Blokus game...if you don't got one...get one!

Yep, I love him.

our little Charlie Brown Tree we went and cut down

He is trying so hard to make that smile, but he forgot to keep his eyes open. Funny little guy.

Our Christmas Eve candlelit dinner (Makenna is trying to wake up from her nap).

he's such a ham, we even call him Ham

Christmas Time- The Day After Steph turning 30!
