Picking Blueberries and other fun things....

One day while we were home we spent the day over at my other mom and dads, a.k.a Jeremy's parents. We had a great time spending the day with them. We first started by taking a tractor ride out to their private orchard and picking berries that Grammy and Grandpa grow. They have a little bit of everything, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, peaches, grapes and apples. The nice things about all of that, is she makes really good jelly from all of that good fruit and shares it with us! After the girls had enough picking there we decided to head out to the blueberry farm. Before we started our picking we had a picnic lunch then we were ready to go. We ended up picking 26lbs. WOW!! The girls did a little picking and a lot of eating. In fact later that night we found out just how much Myah ate of those blueberries because she got sick! She was better by morning just had a few too many blueberries that day!

The girls will talk about these summer visits with the grandparents as long as they live! Some of my favorite memories as a kid are when we stayed with my G & G in the summer and picked cherries off their tree and vegetables from their garden. Mmmmm.

Welcome to our home at Christmas. When I heard that Boomama was going to be having a Christmas Tour of Homes , I thought that sounded like so much fun because so many of our family and friends aren't able to make it out to visit us during the Christmas season. So here are a few pictures of our home decorated for Christmas. As you walk in our front door we have this little tree sitting in our entry way As you can see I really like snowman! This is leading into the family room... This tree is in our family room and it is decorated with all of our family ornaments. Each year we buy the girls an ornament that represents something from the year for that child. It is a tradition that I have continued from my childhood. My favorite ornaments are the ones that are homemade by the girls! This is our big tree that is more formally decorated and is in our living room. This is our third year with an artificial tree which is definitely less messy but we have had lots of fun with the pre-lite l
