Our new nieces




I know many people who read my blog also read Sarah's so this is old news but for those who don't I wanted to finally share some pictures of Sarah and Kurt's girls. They are so adorable and just as precious as can be. Rebekah has the dark hair and is the bigger/older twin. She looks just like her daddy. Abigail has just a little light hair. She looks a little more like a Mandel. We definitely enjoy being Aunt and Uncle. We've only gotten to see them twice but hopefully we'll see them again this spring or summer. Here are some pictures of them from their baptism, their Christmas, and when went to see them when they were just a week old.

More Decorating














After we finished the outside we moved inside and put up our tree, stockings, and a few other random decorations. We even made our own tree skirt. I'm sure we'll have more pictures as it gets to be Christmas but here's the first few. Now all we need is some presents under the tree!

Christmas Decorating












After some more holiday weekend deal shopping we decided to spend Saturday afternoon t decorating our house for Christmas. We decided to be adventurous and decorate the outside . In case it's hard to see we did icilce lights on the house and garland and lights on the poles. It was lots of fun and for a first attempt didn't go too badly. To quote Christmas Vacation "You taught me everything I know about exterior illumination." (That's what Logan said about his dad:) ) And come to find out our town does a trolley ride around the neighborhood for people to see the lights others put up. So lot's of people will get to see our handiwork.

New Computer

O.k. no picture for this post due to the complete mess our office is in BUT I am excited to report as of BlackFriday we have a new computer and as of today high speed internet. I would just like to say after years of dial-up this is an awesome thing to have. This should make keeping up on the blog and e-mails easier or at least faster. Though I make no promises of more often! :)

Thanksgiving at the Lenhart's




Due to no time off for Logan so we couldn't go visit our families and our sucess at cooking Thanksgiving last year, we decided to give it a try again this year. Unfortunetly Oscar II didn't cooperate so well. We ended up not eating until late, a greese fire in the oven, a smelly kitchen and the rest of the food tasting kinda smokey. The one high point as far as food goes was the pumpkin pie. It was AWESOME! So here are some pictures of our not so successful Thanksgiving. I will admit it looks good. Despite the not so good food it was great to have a day to sleep in and spend together. We even did some preblack Friday shopping and ended up with some good deals.

Fall Colors






Saturday was in the 70's so we took a trip up to Great Falls Park and spent the afternoon walking around and hanging out while looking at the colors. It was great to be outside and spend time together after a busy week of work. Here are some pictures of the pretty park, colors, the locks, and the River.

Halloween Fun!


Well, our first Halloween in our house was fun. We put on fun wigs, chilled, and passed out candy to a fair number of trick-or-treaters. The little kids were all quite cute in their costumes. Logan also decided to be all domestic and make pumpkin bars from scratch. They are awesome! So as promised here are some pictures of Holly (redone), Piere all lit up and us enjoying Halloween.
