the holidays {in short}

Okay, so there are way more pictures than I intended, but I'm too lazy to break it into smaller posts.

The past couple of weeks have been fun filled and fabulous. Between travelling to Tehachapi for Christmas and back to Tehachapi for New Years, we really haven't been home much. We were fortunate enough to have all of the Adkins family together for Christmas and to celebrate Lindsay and Sara's birthdays (the 26th & 30th, respectively). Saturday afternoon we headed to Burbank Bible Conference where Nathan unfortunately relapsed on his cold and spent the weekend cooped up in the hotel room. We headed home on Monday and celebrated Travis' birthday (the 29th) and took Uncle Drew to the airport Tuesday. Meanwhile, we looked at another house (and two more since then... yes, we're still looking!) before heading back out to the mountains to spend a relaxing long weekend with Grandpa and Grandma.

Oh, by the way, if you thought the before mentioned birthday's were a lot, my mom is the 31st, Eileen is today (happy birthday!) and Kim's is the 9th. ; )

Adoring the Unc.

By far the favorite gift for Miss Amelia,
she has been playing with these magnetic 'paper dolls' non-stop!

Papa got him his first guns (it'll take awhile to grow into the holster).

Baden's representing.
Coordinates with Amelia's (and Sara's kitchen!)

(click to enlarge, you can see the new ring!) ; )

Wyatt and the wrapping paper.

Getting to know GG Buchanan's.

Happy to see Daddy after a day of meetings.

Celebrating Uncle T-Bone's birthday in style.
Note: Cynthia is also present in this picture. She is not a doll, she is a real baby!

A mighty tasty way to bring in the New Year.

A mini snowman with what was left of the white stuff.

Adorable Alpaca's, enough said!

Sara, you can come match Caroline's kitchen too : ) Glad we got to see you at conference, Natalie. The only way to talk to friends is if you sit by them in meeting! Any of those houses "think about" worthy?

I think it's funny that you have an alpaca and a Cabbage Patch doll in the same post. They're both cute in the same bizarre way.

love the gun-slingin' Wyatt! BTW, I have Amelia's hello kitty purse from conf. I saw it in the lost and found and picked it up. Hope we see ya soon!

Sounds like you have been very busy! Sorry to hear Nathan was sick. I am curious too on the houses you saw, where they in Seal Beach? Love Wyatt's holster and Amelia's magnetic dolls. Lauren has a set too and gets them out daily.
