Christmas morning

Bring on the noise, bring on the funk!

Our elf stayed an extra day this year because he wanted to join in on the Christmas cheer. Before flying home tonight, Belf took pictures with us so we could remember him all year. That sneaky elf...

December Happenings

Lots of fun has been had this month!

Ice skating is Ri's new favorite thing.

Nate and I had a great time on his 3rd grade field trip to the Museum of Flight.

Riley and some local Girl Scout troops went caroling for food donations.

Our carwash creation we constructed at a holiday party. Ours was not nearly as elaborate as what other teams did but we had more time to sit around and eat candy. ;)
