December Happenings

I can't believe how crazy and busy this month is already. This was definitely not the time of year to move, but I'm happy we're here. Just had to share a few recent pictures . . .
Ryan loves our new front-loading washer and dryer. I love that he loves it; keeps him busy. On this particular day we were washing his favorite blanket so he was REALLY interested!

Emily wanted a Princess Annaliese birthday this year. The only reason this cake even looks halfway decent is thanks to my friend Liz, who must have a cake-decorating gene. Before she came over and rescued it Barbie had her legs straight up in the air -- so improper!

This last picture is from right after Halloween. I had to get a picture of Ryan with his candy. The first few times he was allowed to have a candy he just held it and looked at it. :) I don't think he knew what to do with it.

Today we had a field trip with our homeschool group to a retirement home where we sang Christmas carols and gave cards to the residents. It was so sweet. Well, it was sweet until Ryan crawled under the Christmas tree we were standing next to and activated the "snoring Santa" decoration. I thought I would die of embarrassment. One minute we're singing Silent Night, the next thing I know there's this loud sound of snoring and the whole group turns around to see Ryan on his hands and knees, smiling from under the tree. It was great.
