Santa, sisters and some news!

Santa
We made our annual trip to sit on Santas lap on Saturday. Obviously someone didn't find the big guy so jolly. Lucky for Rock, these are his favorite kind of Santa pictures! We spent the rest of the day soaking up family time. Our niece was home from college for the holiday and we were missing her big time. So thankful for our time together and so glad we only have to wait a few more weeks before we get to see her again!

Sisters

Tonight when I was laying next to Jo in her toddler bed (one of the few times I'm thankful to only be 5'2) the girls were laying in their bed and it had been quiet for awhile so I thought for sure they had both drifted off. Then I heard this little, tiny voice....
Amelia: Maggie, who's your best friend?
Maggie: you are
Amelia: No, I mean WHO is your VERY best friend?
Maggie: you are Millie
Amelia: Oh, you're my best friend too.

Oh melt my heart....makes up for the recent outbreak of cat fights:)

Some News
The most exciting news of the day....our homestudy was officially approved!!! YAY!!! We are so thankful for being one step closer and having all this paperwork behind us...just get us on that waitlist already!! Now just praying the dossier makes it through on the first try and we'll get that call with our number! We would love and greatly appreciate your prayers!

* Also, extending the baseball tee order. If you wanted to order a baseball tee just scroll down to the bottom of the page and place your order using the paypal button.
