December Happenings

December was a whirlwind of parties, The Nutcracker Ballet, Christmas programs, time with family, daddy dates, parties, advent readings and did I mention parties?

I love December. It is one of my favorite times of the year. Just one problem. It goes WAY too fast. It seems like once Thanksgiving is over...BAM it's January.

Nonetheless, we were able to celebrate and cherish the moments this year.


Claire's school party...a little excited!



The Nutcracker Ballet...a special date with mommy!





Oh, the anticipation of the Christmas program...


If you look closely you'll see Claire wearing pink cowboy boots. She "misplaced" her red shoes and we had a bit of a crisis right before the Christmas program. Mommy was a little upset and Ava assured us it wasn't her "fa-ult"!
