December Fun




Playing at the park in December

More shape creations:








gingerbread houses at daycare


The boys made pretzel treats.  There was a lot of finger licking.


Monroe had a virtual piano recital.  Nana came over and accompanied her piece.

My two favorite Christmas treats: peppermint puppy chow and Club cracker toffee

Zach and I got married in this beautiful chapel.





Again this year, I was given an amazing gift from my whole class.  $100 to Amazon and $80 to Odyssey, our favorite restaurant.

Playing with their new soccer goal


A New plant.  I've wanted a Fiddle Fig for a long time, but I've heard they can be finicky.

I found these chairs on FB Marketplace, so I decided to replace our basement sitting area.  

I then sold these two.   I love the new look!

These sweet boys had pictures taken at daycare this year.  They turned out so great!

First fire of the season

Making haystacks

After sending out our New Years cards, I had this many left.  They gave me double what I ordered!

Our next door neighbors got a new puppy!  Remi is so cute and only one pound.




These two love puzzles as much as I do.

Zach's brother called one evening to see if we could watch his dog, as his wife was getting induced the next morning.  
Buster was such a good dog while he was with us.

Our new nephew:

New Year's Eve

I planned another fun New Year's Eve at home with our kids this year.

The 6:00 balloon was:
 Jumbo Yahtzee





30 minutes wasn't long enough to play a full game, so we finished it the next day


The 6:30 balloon was: Finger Food Feast

Delicious!


The 7:00 balloon was: Charades

Monroe thought the clues were too easy, but the boys were so proud when they could act out every one.  They had a blast!






The 7:30 balloon was:  Choose your favorite ice cream flavor

Our favorite ice cream shoppe in town has sample cups.  For $5, we got 20 Different Flavors!

I made them a sheet where they could rate each candy: love, ok, don't like
The only ones that they all three didn't like were the cherry flavors.




Our neighbors came over for a while.



The 8:00 balloon was:  Find the countdown numbers from 10-1.  I had hid the numbers all around the house.  They had to find them in countdown order. 




Found them all!

Then we did a countdown dance party.











Happy New Year!
