Runcie Christmas

After our Christmas, we went to Zach's parents' for the Runcie Christmas.

More Pokemon

The next day we went bowling to celebrate a few December birthdays.

We passed Monroe's doll house along to our nieces.  I hope they love it!

Our Christmas

Santa delivered the kids' gift to the basement.

first electric toothbrushes for the boys

Monroe was excited to buy gifts for the boys with her own money this year.   She got them books for their Pokemon cards.

a wireless meat thermometer that he forgot he asked for

homemade keychain

We got all three kids new scooters

a new puzzle for me

This is our new favorite game.  We would recommend it for all ages!

Christmas Eve

We spent Christmas Eve day making cookies for Santa.

That afternoon we went to Grandma Dee's for supper.

Then we went to church

Ready for Santa

Concerts

Monroe had concerts for orchestra, band, and Minor 6ths (vocal group) in December.  

Monroe's Minor 6ths group got to sing at a preschool and some nursing homes.  

While they were at the preschool, a 3-year-old who Monroe had never seen before got up and went and gave her a hug. One of the teachers took pictures and sent them to me.

The boys also had a Christmas program.
