Happy 6th Birthday, Katherine!

We had fun celebrating Katherine's birthday yesterday and I can't believe she's already 6 years old! Time flies by so quickly and you never really believe it when people tell you until they're all grown up.

Katherine has been and is such a joy to our family. Sometimes I wonder if she's an angel just by how mature she responds to things, how unselfish she is, and how genuinely she cares for other people. She is always sharing things unselfishly with her brothers, sharing the Gospel with her friend down the street, and always has a heart of obedience towards us. I must admit that she has been an easy child and a wonderful girl who loves the Lord. We are blessed!

Here are a few pictures from her family birthday celebration on Saturday. I tried to make a Barbie cake, which wasn't as hard as I thought! I was actually really pleased with it, but wish I would have bought the candy letters for the Happy Birthday part because trying to handwrite with icing on a vertical cake was tough! But I think it turned out ok...

Thanks to everyone for all the fun toys, books, cards, and presents!

She wanted to go to Chuck E. Cheese this year and had lots of fun. There were a lot of new rides and a horse with animated screen that you could ride and watch yourself on a TV in front of you as you pulled on the reigns. She liked that as well as the flying seat that you pedal on to take yourself spinning to the top. We had originally planned to take Katherine to the Barnum and Bailey Circus for her birthday but she said she'd rather go to Chuck E Cheese instead. I'm sure she'll outgrow that place soon, but seemed to have fun this year! Sorry no pics from there.

She received lots of fun toys and several digital pet games that I'm still trying to figure out how to play but she seems to have gotten the hang of them. My, how technological kids are these days! Thanks to everyone for all the love and kindness you show Katherine! May you be blessed!

Psalm 127:3 (NASB) - "Behold, children are a gift of the LORD, the fruit of the womb is a reward. "

Old Navy Coupon!!

Wahoo...I don't know if I've ever been more excited about a coupon before! Lately, I've been following a lot of neat money-saving blogs to see if I could cut our grocery budget down from about $1,000 a month and I'm proud to say that I've done that this month and cut it down to $400...more than HALF! That's partially why I haven't posted blogs in a while because this definitely keeps me busy, but I guess is well worth it! I use to just clip a few coupons, head to the store, and be so excited when I'd save $15-20 in one trip. (If you're interested in knowing the money-saving blogs I follow, let me know and I'll forward them to you!) Anyways, OldNavyWeekly.com hides several coupons on there each week (usually reloads on Thursdays) and a big coupon on there is $75 off $100 purchase. I tried last week to get it and even stayed up til 2 a.m. trying, but no luck (I really enjoy the challenge:). Last night, I tried at 8 p.m. and found they reloaded

A Little Bit of Christmas...

I've had a lot of fun this year decorating for Christmas! Last year we really didn't decorate since we had just moved into our house and weren't even in town long enough to enjoy it. Plus in years past, we've had a 4 foot Christmas tree that was "child-proof". Well this year our tree is definitely not child proof but I guess we took the risk. It's been great watching the kid's faces every morning looking at the tree and turning on the lights and train underneath it. We also figured out that the train calms Christopher down and sometimes puts him to sleep! Last night he was really fussy and after a while we weren't sure what to do. So we just sat down in front of the tree and turned the train on for Matt, and Christopher just watched it go around and round for a while and stopped crying! We'll have to try that again!...maybe we should keep the train out year round! :) Daniel was in the Christmas spirit last night and decided to wrap two presents

Joseph, Mary, and Baby Jesus...Contemporary style

Yesterday I went to the store for a few things and ended up buying a Nativity set and displayed it in the house. Of course, it wasn't long before the kids found it and started playing with the pieces. Matthew ran around saying "Baby Jesus!...I love you baby Jesus!" and then Katherine wanted to pretend that Christopher was baby Jesus. So a few towels, headbands, and bathrobes later, this is the outcome:) Katherine praying over her newly born baby Jesus- Katherine and baby Jesus so excited and filled with joy- Joseph, Mary, and baby Jesus in the stable (yes, with a Christmas tree in the background)- Luke 2:14 "And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth."
