Merry Christmas!

December is always a busy month.  This year was no different.  It was wonderful, though! 

Nathaniel had his piano recital

 

Jonathan won a big cookie in a drawing at Publix

 

I was able to go to Andrew's field trip, Daniel's Kindergarten Christmas party, and Emily's Chorus concert at the mall and her class Christmas party.

 

The kids had school on Friday, Dec. 21, so it has been a short break.  My goal was to plan ahead this year, and I was able to do that for the most part so I wasn't so stressed on Christmas Eve.  It was totally worth it!  See below. :-)



Emily wanted a guitar, so Santa brought her one

Daniel finally got the Luke train that he has been asking for

Now they can have Nerf wars.  Outside, of course.

Michael and I celebrated our anniversary on the 27th.  We went to Les Miserables and out to dinner.  17 years, baby!

Last night, we went to the zoo lights.  The trick is to go after Christmas to avoid the huge lines for the train ride.  We had a blast!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
