Christmas Catchup

First off...

Did I write "two Bahr sisters in less than a year" in an earlier post??? I think I did! Make that THREE Bahr sisters in less than a year! Chel is engaged (and has been for awhile... oops) to Lee from Portland, OR and they will be married in May... whew! Quite the year... ;)

All cards and condolences can be directed to Mr. Bahr in Hazelton, KS... :)

I went through my photos and just picked out some of the ones to help sum up our Christmas season... they don't do it all justice, but then pictures never do!
My little helper in the kitchen with all the Christmas cooking; most days, that is!

Aren't they cute? :)

Marcos & Diego made these boxes to dress up for one of their Christmas parties!

I couldn't help but take a photo of Osmara... a beautiful little Christmas tree!

I turned around one day to hear the "Santa chuckle" and saw our oldest in this Santa getup!

And Santa, of course, needs reindeer!!! :)

Our daughter is delighted, enamored, enraptured, enthralled, OBSESSED with the cats here on campus! This was what you could find her doing MOST of the time during Christmas break... :)

We were so blessed to have family come down to share Christmastime with us! It's fun to have the couches in our living room filled up... :)

Dad, Mom, Tif, Chel & Lee made it down to celebrate with us this year... the kids had a blast!

Our trampoline was a gift to the kidlets from all the great-grandparents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousins from the Rink & Bahr families -- this has been a major hit! Not just with our kids, but with all our neighbors! :)

First night jumping with their dad.

We celebrated my 28th birthday, too... brownies and peppermint ice cream! ;)

And, in true Bahr & Frieden tradition, we pulled taffy!

Even Jod and her kids got in on the fun... :)

I'm not sure the girls and I were doing much good, but we had fun trying to help! ;)

Papi Bahr and his four grandkids... it's amazing to see how much this pic has changed since four years ago!!!

Thanks for the continued prayers, despite intermittent blogging... :) We are back into the swing of things after traveling home for my sister Tifani's Colorado wedding in January and visiting our families in IN and KS [a few pics to come]. We're in the middle of three weeks of work teams, a brief break, and then three more in March -- and a baby due in approx. 3-4 weeks! Time flies, doesn't it? :) We're thankful for a new and beautiful start to the year 2012 and ask for your prayers through the busy Spring season!
