Christmas 2014

Ahhhhhh.....Mexico!
You treat us well.

Skipping out on the "normal" Christmas traditions was wonderful, I highly recommend it!  I'm wishing this will become our new routine.  Santa came a few days before we left, and the kids received just a handful of gifts.  They were perfectly content, and we were able to spend more time teaching them about the true meaning of Christmas - Jesus' birth!

Here's the week in photos...








 Jaidie's letter reads:
Note
Dear Santa,
Thank you for coming eally what ever you got us thank you.
Merry Christmas.
Do not work to hard and do not eat to much chokies.
Sorry Vince is asleep.
Thank You.
Your Wellcome.

And then we were off!!!  Cancun, Mexico's Riu Cancun Hotel
















 Jaidie and Mason searched these rocks every day to find hundreds of tiny little crabs living in corkscrew seashells.  It made their week!





Christmas as only Cancun can do ;)

The boys have been begggging for bunk beds for YEARS -  and to get ready for our next newest addition in November, we finally gave in to their pleas and they're now sharing a room! For not a whole lot of money, I think it turned out super cute.  I'll post the deets here if any of you are looking for a quick remodel for a shared brothers bedroom. The wall I did completely on my own, only using a tape measure, level, and razor blade!!  Originally I had wanted an authentic restored barn wood - but the $1200 price tag made me quickly change my mind.  Instead, I picked this up at Lowe's for less than $1 a square foot.  I had never attempted a project like this at all, but after watching just a few YouTube videos I felt like it was something I could certainly tackle on my own.  I did apply just a thin layer of additional glue before I put each peel 'n stick panel to the wall.  Total cost for this Driftwood Gray weathered wood wall was le...
