December 2024

We decided to put wreaths on our windows this year; our small upgrade for Christmas decorations. I was trying to decided if the bow should go at the top or the bottom. We decided the top. And I love the way it looks!



We went and picked out our Christmas tree & snapped one little picture of the boys. And somehow I made it into the picture of teachers while subbing one day and ended up in the local paper.



Hayden went to Disney with his buddies for Jayce's birthday. They sent these pictures of them on the rides; they made me laugh!



Calvin's team went to their big competition for the Lego Robotics team, and they qualified for the regional competition!!




We hosted a Christmas party for Matt's work, and I got to set my tables out with all my favorite Christmas dishes and china! I loved how it all turned out. My boys look forward to the food we order from the local Italian restaurant, Santioni's. 







Calvin's history class did an Egyptian museum for us to come and see all they made during their unit.


We were so lucky to be able to go to my cousin Stephanie's wedding in Ohio! We drove up and had such a lovely time with our family. We took the boys to COSI where I went when I was a kid. We had such fun before the wedding that Saturday.












All dressed up for the main event!



So beautiful in all the details, but the bride outshined them all!














Third grade gingerbread houses!


This year's felt ornament: R2D2 and he turned out so great!


Annual fire truck parade with some friends





The first R2D2 finished and James looks taller than Big David!


Time for Christmas! Aunt Michelle sent Christmas cookies, and the boys had lots of fun opening their gifts.






Thank you Lord for a wonderful year. We had such a lovely Christmas, and it was even better than normal since we got to see some of my Mom's family at my cousin Stephanie's wedding. I am grateful for wonderful reasons to get together and celebrate. Thank you Lord for the love that fills our lives. It is my greatest blessing. Amen.
