Christmas 2018!

I'm not going to do a whole lot of writing on this posts since I just want to catch up with what's current, but I do want to say that this Christmas season was amazing! It was wonderful in every way possible. As you know, we have baby number 4 on the way and preparing with all that we need this time around, Christmas gifts and doing much just was not planned this year. We needed to invest in a new car, which was able to come as a HUGE blessing. I can't disclose from who or how but our family is just in awe by the help with getting a new car to fit all our family. On top of that BIG gift, our church asked us if there was anything our family needed and they provided all the boys with new outfits and shoes to wear! I was awestruck by this! Also a family friend signed us up to receive toys from a local church and the boys got many wonderful gifts this year so we wouldn't have to worry about anything other than getting what we need for the baby. I just want to say how thankful and grateful we are for all of our family in Christ and our family and friends for helping us through this season in life! We are doing our best and having the people in our life we have now is just a huge blessing. We thank you all for the sweet doings and are awestruck!

Christmas 2017

The View from our driveway. That's David walking down and holding Benjamin

We moved into our new rental on November 17, 2017! It's a neat little farm house on an avocado ranch built in the 1940's. We have a neighboring house just feet from us and then the landlords live on the property as well. They are the sweetest of people! There's even a basketball court that they allow our boys to play in.
We got all our belongings from our storage unit and moved in. Took me about 3 and a half weeks to unpack all of the boxes. I finished putting the last of the boxes away when we got news of the Thomas Fire.

December 4 the Thomas fire began. We were evacuated 2 times during the fire. It was pretty ironic really, I finished unpacking and then we had to pack our car with our most important belongings, mainly documents , clothes and pictures. Both times we stayed with David's mom. It was one of the craziest things to experience . Thank God and the amazing team of fire fighters, nothing happened to our place but man did it get close. Too close for comfort anyway. Luckily it all blew over just a week and a half before Christmas. Decorations weren't much for obvious reasons but we did have a great Christmas .

Justin is our neighbor ( in the ninja turtle cape) he's just a year and a half older than Noah.

My mom in law and dad in law came the day before to celebrate =)

My dad and Jamie came for christmas eve and stayed the night

joking around while my sister snaps some very candid photos hahaha

went to visit my mom in her new little apartment . Very cute!

It was a great Christmas! I'd say the best so far! Seeing the smiles on the boys' faces was just the best present I could have.
