December Pictures

Groupon is a wonderful thing. Without it, we would have paid well over $100 for the photos we took at JCPenney's on Sunday. Instead, we paid $20 and we get prints, too! I can't wait to hang this one in the house:

There were a lot of photos, and we had to pick our favorites for the prints, so we picked one with just Ethan & I for Austin's desk at work (his idea - and a really sweet one!):

Here are the rest of the pictures we liked:

And here are the pictures we took with Santa (not nearly as cute, but we managed to get it done with a cranky baby and a hyper puppy):

In other news, we got the first quote on our Master Bath remodel. Apparently, the remodeling business is slow around the holidays so they said they would give us 10% off... just in case anyone else is getting bids at this time of year! We did pull the trigger on getting our 40-year-old windows replaced... it is just too drafty for us! We are hoping to save some money on heating & cooling if at all possible now that I am working from home and running heat or A/C all day. If it weren't for Ethan, I'd rough it!

We're getting ready to remember and celebrate the life of a sweet friend's father tonight and tomorrow, and ask for your prayers for the Moore family as they celebrate Rob's life.

love,

PS - we have a lot of bronze accents in our master bath right now and I'm having a hard time imagining that we should buy silver fixtures, but it may be cheaper than buying more bronze stuff. Has anyone else noticed that the prices of bronze fixtures are 2x what nickel fixtures are?! (I'm talking lights, faucets, toilet paper holders, you-name-it!) Sigh...
