December has come and gone



Our new house!!!

Yes, that's what I said...during the Christmas season we were crazy enough to buy a house. Packing and unpacking and managing to make dinner in between the chaotic moments..it all seems a blur but in the last month we have been to Chicago, Atlanta and Charlotte... Kai had tubes put in his ears and we managed to move into our new house!! Hooray!

The inside of the house is still in the unpack mode so unless you drop by for a visit you will have to just wait for a little while for those pictures to come.





And just to catch up I think I will do the month of December in pictures...

Normal life in the Hightower household:



Kai got a hold of Cadan's spinach lasagna and was loving it!



He also got a hold of a bag of pretzels...(would someone just feed me already?)



Bathtime with the cousins:



We got to spend sometime with my sister-in-law Rachel and her two little ones when she came to visit in December. The cousins had a royal ball playing together! We felt adventurous one night and went to the Christmas parade! It was only in the 20's that night!Brrrrrrrrrr!! Is this still Tennessee?









We thought we would decorate Christmas cookies while the babies were sleeping.... and wouldn't you know after we talked it up all day to the kids... and right when they were at the peak of excitement... the power went out... after a long wait and crabbiness going on as the patient waiting turned sour on us... we decided to camp out in front of the storm door for some good lighting and decorate with as many sprinkles as a cookie could handle... see for yourself!!













There was some cousin fun to be had!!







And some Christmas spirit to prep for!!





Ahh, good times!!

We were blessed to be able to visit a good number of our family this season and after all is said and done... I didn't take any pictures. Hmmm. Sound familiar? This tends to be a trend of mine... I think I just get to having too much fun to remember to digitally capture the moments I want to remember the most... Thankfully we have family who will send us pics they took... which is why I can show you some precious moments of our Chicago trip!!












Now to unpack! I'll get working on that so all of you still interested can see some pictures of the inside of the house!!!
