Valentine's Day

 Jonny came home from school on Valentine's Day, wearing his "Love Bug" hat, and a box full of cards and treats.  We finished up the day with a heart pizza from Papa Murphy's and some heart-shaped sugar cookies.

Gingerbread Houses

 Chris and Jonny worked on our annual gingerbread houses on Christmas Eve.  We decided to try mini houses this year, with the hope that they would hold together better than big ones.  We found out that they fall down, too!  But we got some put together, kept them for a few days, and then Jonny even munched on one!

A Christmas Surprise!

After Christmas, we took our tree outside and found a surprise!  There had been a bird nest in our tree all along and we hadn't seen it!  We had decorated our tree and undecorated our tree, but it wasn't until we were carrying the tree out that we saw it!  It gave us a good laugh!

Christmas 2015

Jonny LOVED this package that he got in the mail!  He got it out every day to hold it and look at the picture!

Jonny the Red-Nosed Reindeer

Jonny came home from kindergarten on the last day of school before Christmas vacation, wearing this cute reindeer hat.

He was very excited about the mini Cars coloring book that he was given by his school bus driver and the small package from his teacher.

New Foster Brother

This is Tristin, Jonny's newest foster brother.  He came to live with us at the beginning of December and will probably be with us until somewhere around the middle of March.  He'll be two years old in March.  He thinks Jonny is the greatest thing ever and follows him all around.  The funniest thing is that he calls Jonny "Jaw-joo."
