End of 2015- Christmas and New Years

The last few weeks of the year were PACKED to say the least.  We moved into our new home... stayed a few nights then headed to Lincoln to my parents house for Christmas- spending Christmas Eve in Bolton with Nate's family.  After we headed back to Amherst, we started the New Year by making a 36 hour trip to Baltimore/PA to ring in the New Year with Nate's Messiah friends.  I have many more photos- but they don't seem to want to load onto this blog- so here is a very select few!  (significant events, not pictured, include our 10th date to Bertucci's and Bolton Christmas)
Sam's favorite gift may have been the Hershey kisses

50/52 We bought a House!!!























Sunday: Nicolas Birthday at the Gym at the YMCA- the kids had a blast!!  
Wednesday:  NavNight we prayed for Johanna who has led our group this semester but is heading to study abroad in England next semester- we will miss her, but are so glad she will be back next semester!  And yes, I am pregnant in case you were wondering;)
Thursday: Morning Playtime where everyone was happy doing their thing before school.  
Thursday: I help lead a women's prayer group- so after dropping kids off at school came home with Sam to finish prepping it.  Sam promptly walked upstairs and put himself to sleep!  I had to wake him up to go to play with his friend Bethany.  Later that afternoon he fell asleep again reading in the orange chair.  
Friday: We bought a house!  what?!!!???  So amazing.  Later that night the students really honored us with thoughtful, special gifts at our annual Christmas Party.  
Saturday: I stayed home with the kids and tried to purge some of our arts and crafts projects.
