A Week for New Things!

Just call us SPOILED!!! 

 My China Cabinet was delivered on Wednesday afternoon. I have been saving the money I received from gifts (birthdays/Christmas/graduation) so I could buy this hutch. I spent all day Thursday washing up the beautiful items that have been packed away in boxes since our wedding so we could display them!  

 We got our new leather furntiture delivered this afternoon.  It is awesome!

 Jeff got home from work and tested out all of the reclining options.  I plan to take out my snowmen tomorrow and decorate the shelves.

Gus and I found comfy spots on the reclining/rocker sofa!  Jeff and I plan to relax, watch a movie and enjoy our new furniture/fireplace/entertainment stuff.

Christmas with the Rudebusch Family

It was great to have the Rudebuschs with us for a few days to celebrate Christmas.

Paul and Brieann came from FL for the holidays!

Mike and Susan spoiled us with some very nice gifts!

Baby Rudebusch is due in less than 2 weeks. 

Jeff went to Best Buy on Tuesday and got his BluRay player and sound system... using his gift cards that he got for Christmas!  We couldn't wait to watch a movie using the new TV and equipment, so we got out the folding chairs!  How comfy, huh?  Our new furniture is supposed to be here on Friday.  It will be so fun to spend time downstairs with our beautiful entertainment space.  

Merry Christmas!

We want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas! 

Luke 2:13-20
¹³ Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
¹⁴ “Glory to God in the highest heaven,
and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”
¹⁵ When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”
¹⁶ So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. ¹⁷ When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, ¹⁸ and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. ¹⁹ But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. ²⁰ The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.

Yes, I am great with child.  2 weeks to go til Baby's due date.

Christmas Came a Little Early This Year!

Gavin had to do some digging to get all the way to the bottom of his stocking! 

Santa came to Auntie and Uncle's house this year... a little early too!  Mom and Dad, Garrett, Cilla, Gavin, Carson and Lexie all came down to Hutch this weekend to celebrate Christmas with us since we won't be making it up to Roseau this year for Christmas. 

 Gavin had lots of fun opening up his presents!  He was so patient in the morning, too!  Carson really enjoyed the bows and cardboard!

 The Lee Family!

Grandpa and Grandma with their grandsons!  Thanks for spoiling all of us Mom and Dad!

We made our traditional breakfast on Saturday morning of Swedish pancakes and all the fixings!  Yum, yum, yum!

Here we are for our annual pic in front of the tree!  Gus and Baby included!

We got Gavin some Moon Dough for Christmas!  It was pretty entertaining!

I was sooooooo excited to get my fireplace wall completed this weekend!  It look AMAZING!  Merry Christmas to me... even though it wasn't really considered a Christmas gift.  We were so fortuante to have my Dad make the beautiful mantle/surround for the fireplace and built in shelves.  It all turned out great!

Jeff and Dad installed everything this weekend so my woodwork is complete!

We just need to stain/varnish the cabinet doors for the bottom of the shelves and then we can install them.  Oh, and Jeff is patiently waiting for his new TV to be proudly displayed above the fireplace.  It was on backorder, but it should arrive before Christmas.  We have also ordered new leather furntiture which should be here before Christmas!  I am hoping!!!!
