Last Week of 2017

I always love the week between Christmas & New Years, because the craziness is over and its time to just relax and play with new toys! Brian gets this week off from work, so we get to just be together and spend time with our kids. It also usually results in cleaning out old toys to make room for new ones, because they won't all fit! I really want a new bedroom set, so we spent way more time than the kids liked, at furniture stores...all to change our minds and decide that what we have is just fine. On Saturday the 30th, the kids spent the night with G-Ma while Brian and I went to Philip and Claira's wedding in Tulsa. Then on New Year's Eve, Jamie and Taylor came to our house for dinner! We always love spending time with them! We ended 2017 on a good note, and are excited about beginning 2018 and see what all God has in store for us. 
Oh yeah, and we took Charlie to the groomer. Apparently that's important enough for a picture!
I really loved this bed...
The kids loved this bunk bed! I wish we had it in our room at Falls Creek!
I worked really hard on cleaning and organizing the kids rooms. I had to take a picture real fast when I was done, because goodness knows they didn't stay like this for long!
Looking back on top 9 Instagram pics of 2017...
A beautiful night celebrating Philip & Claira!
The kids went to Jimmy's Egg with G-Ma & Rex and Poppa & Louise after church the next morning. 
New Year's Eve fun!!

Baldwin Christmas

We always look forward to Christmas afternoon and evening at Lake Eufaula with Grandma & Grandpa Baldwin and all the cousins. This year we missed Stephen & Tamara & Olivia & Eli...they were at Disney World...so jealous!! Grandma Baldwin always gets the kids super cute clothes for Christmas, along with some fun toys too. This year we also spent the night and then went to Muskogee the next day to see The Greatest Showman (SO GOOD) and to eat dinner at China King. It was fun to be able to spend extra time together, especially since we don't see Danny and Amy very often now that they live in Colorado.
I was not feeling well at all, and was not a fan of how I looked in any pictures, so we resorted to SnapChat filters! Brian is always so good to take care of me and make me laugh!
Oh yeah, and Tom made me a "special" remedy drink to make me feel better! Hahaha!
Mackenzie was really wanting these boots!
Jonah's new "house coat!" (I thought it was hilarious that he was calling it that!)
YEA for new clothes & shoes!!!
The kids were so excited to give Grandma & Grandpa Baldwin the gifts they picked out for them at the Jingle Bell store!
Lyn made this Christmas quilt for me and I love it! 
I'm so happy about my new suitcase set and my Pioneer Woman knife set too! 
Jonah LOVES Cole!
Grandma Baldwin is so good to make clothes for the girls dolls!
Matching PJ's for Madi & Pony! (I will be so sad when she outgrows things like this!)
The next day...at the movie theater...its okay to wear a "house coat" to the movies, right?! It's Christmastime...why not?!
