December Activities

Long Time No See!

Well, considering I stopped blogging when I was 28 weeks pregnant with baby #3.... and he just turned '3' years old.. I would say we have some catching up to do!

We had baby #3 a.k.a Lucas on October 23, 2014. He was a whopping 7lb 13oz (I know, I know.. I say whopping because #1 a.k.a Tayler was 6lb 3oz and baby #2 a.k.a Quinn was 6lb 12oz. Tiny wittle babes! 

So now we are a happy little family of 5. The husband and I have been married for almost 7 years and we are now proud owners of a 6 year old, 4 year old, and a 3 year old, LOL. As the saying goes-- our hands are full, but our hearts are totally full too!

I'd like to think we are a pretty awesome, on-the-go family. We love crafts and seasonal activities, which made me think... LETS GET THIS BLOG STARTED OFF WITH A BANG!

How about a December activity list that we can all do together?
