December

December started out with some nice, mild weather.

We did some more celebrating with our favorite 7 year-old, including a taco birthday dinner,

and some birthday cake,

complete with wishes,

followed by gifts,

and birthday hugs.

The boys took selfies,

Isla posed sweetly, 

Kellan snuggled with Mommy,

and we groomed.

 We celebrated Cristina's birthday,

and Hanukkah, 

and visited the Botanical Gardens.

 

 

 

 

Santa Claus came,

and Oma too.

We wore matching striped pjs,

and snuggled with Grams and Papa.

We visited with all the Hudocks,

pretended we had bangs,

and hosted the Hembrees and Wilbers for tree climbing,

chit-chatting,

a fierce game of croquet,

some precision ring tossing,

and basketball.

We spent the last night of the year budgeting partying wildly.  Happy New Year!
