Christmas Week with the Farrows!

It has been a fun week at our place!

Last Friday, we started out with Baking Day! Here are some pics from that. That same day, started the installation of our DISHWASHER!!!! Our dear friends, the Falks, moved back to Texas =( And they gave us their dishwasher! I am SOOOOOOO blessed! It is the first time I've had a dishwasher in my years since leaving my parents house after high school!

Then, on Tuesday, we had the pleasure of seeing our little cutie on screen! It was ultrasound day and Shane and I enjoyed seeing Baby Farrow #2 wiggling around and looking so cute! To celebrate, we grabbed supper in the van and drove through Christmas in the Park (all kind of Christmas lights set up in different scenes)!

Christmas Eve was a relaxing day at home and then off to the candlelight service at church! That is a fun highlight of the Christmas season! And a shot of the belly at 19 weeks!

Christmas Day was a nice family day! We stayed home, Noah opened presents and we had a yummy meal with Nana (Auntie Stephanie)!

We hope you had a very Merry Christmas! Big blessings from our family to yours!

Holiday Time

I am looking forward to the week ahead, anticipating some peaceful, quality time with my little family. We are staying put in Kansas City for the holidays but getting a few days together at home which I'm really looking forward to!

It has felt like holidays lately since my sis is done her fall semester and is on holidays! I'm feeling the holiday break too and loving her presence with us without her having lots of homework to run and attend to =) We had a Christmas baking day on Friday and baked some very yummy goodies!

Back in the day before Noah and back in Winnipeg, we made a tradition of having a Christmas baking day with my mom and the two of us at the end of November each year. We haven't done it since we've been here and this year, despite the sad part that my mom isn't here, it was time to start again! And with our new apartment, I've got a big kitchen to bake in =)

We are kick starting the few days off as a family with our ultrasound on Tuesday afternoon! Shane and I are excited to see this little one! And though you'd think we'd have grown horns on our head and come from another planet, we hope to NOT discover the gender. We love the surprise =) Apparently, around here, that makes us very unusual.

So Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you have a wonderful week with your family and can calm your heart and mind enough in the midst of life and busyness to remember the true meaning of what we celebrate. We need Jesus!

Noah turned 3!

This week was Noah's 3rd birthday and we had a fun time celebrating this little dude!

In the morning, Nana, Daddy and I were all up and waiting for the birthday boy to awake! Then we showered him with love and gifts to start the day off (and allow for play time before we heading out for his lunch party)! He also got to facetime 2 of his grandmas which was special!

For lunch, we headed to Chick-fil-A for a toddler boy party! 6 little guys age 1-3 and their families were there and we had a fun time of playing, eating and celebrating!

The afternoon was spent playing with new toys and resting at home! Then we prepared for some base friends to join us for a cupcake party at our place after supper!

It was a great day and we are so in love with our big boy! He is growing up so fast and getting so independent, smart, caring and funny. He really brings so much joy to our family!

Happy 3rd Birthday, Noah!
