Wow! How time passes so quickly! December went by in a whirlwind. My little etsy shop went wild and we received almost 200 orders in that month which is about 3 times more than normal so my sister and I were very busy sewing and have been well into this month and have about FINALLY got caught up!! Our Christmas was great and the kids loved every minute of it. They were spoiled and we all had a lot of fun. Right after Christmas, Jake's brother, Nate and their family came to stay for a week. It was a lot of fun and we were sad to see our California cousins go back home. After they left, then my sister Emily and her family came to stay for a week. We played hard and also while they were here, everyone sadly got the flu bug! Booo!!! But we managed to get over it and went back to playing hard. The kids loved the break and having no set schedule so it was hard to get them back into the groove of things in January. But we are all now back onto a schedule and so it's all good. Jake also started working full time for the contract job he had and is still trying to get his business funded and running. We are crossing our fingers and saying lots of prayers that it will work out:)
