WE Moved!!

Woo hoo! We moved! With all the extensions we had on the closing date we finally moved in on December 12th. Half of our house had already been packed on on the truck waiting for a week. I didn't realize that with a foreclosure it takes longer to close than a regular house sale. I put as much stuff away as possible so that I could decorate for Christmas. A few days after moving in, I had Cirdan get a tree. Moving in and trying to be ready for Christmas at once was quite a chore (especially with horrible morning, or more like all day sickness) but it was fun to have a new home to celebrate in! Stephanie (my cousin ) surprised me a couple days and came over to help organize and put things away. She also brought us dinner and lunch! It was a huge surprise and I am very thankful for her. My mom came and helped one day also.
We absolutely love our house. Our neighbors seem great and there are a ton of kids in the neighborhood. We have a couple boys that come over almost everyday to see if the kids can play which is fun. We live in a cul de sac which is perfect for the kids. I also love how close we are to the elementary school. We downsized a lot with the size of the yard, which is nice not having to worry about yard work. But with the elementary school so close the kids have all that space to play in and the toys to play with also. Kaiya has been walking to and from school and that is a huge thing to not have to load the kids into the car...or wake them up from their naps to go pick her up. I just watch out the window, and make sure she gets home safe. Wonderful!

So much packing paper! And this was only some of it.
