December Little Things

 Here are all the little things we were up to in December. 

Emily's soccer team participated in a community service food drive.  The theme was the Grinch, so all the girls dressed up in their best whoville attire.

Evan has been continuing with his hockey classes.  He still loves it.  We're hoping to sign him up for a team in the spring.

I received the very best email from Emily's teacher.  She received the character trait award for Gratitude.

Emily and her friend, Haleigh, went shopping 1 day and adopted angel's from the angel tree.  

Buddy, the elf, returned with his annual North Pole Breakfast.  Em was at a sleepover, so Evan got to enjoy the breakfast by himself.

Evan and I went exploring down by the creek one day,  He loves to go play down there.

Evan has been loving building things with popsicle sticks.  He made an entire person out of them.  This is just the top half.  I love how creative he is.

Buddy came up with quite the antics this year.

While Em and I were in Austin for her soccer tournament, Evan went and stayed at KK's house.  He had the best time with her.

And while we were all out of the house, Shawn was able to finish the kid's bathroom!

Evan received the curiosity character trait award at school.

After 10 years, we said goodbye to our swing set in the backyard

Emily and her BFF, Gracie, dressed like twins on PJ day.

And now that Em has a phone, I get to find cute pictures she's taken.

We celebrated New Year's Eve with the Garrison's.

Whew, that was a busy month!  Luckily January is always pretty slow for us.
