Looking Back on December

 I have an audience while I use the bathroom.
 Watching fireworks and people ski down the mountain at Nordic on New Years Eve
 We went to the concert of Stephanie Mabey.  SOOOOOO good!  That was to celebrate 19 years of marriage!
 Eden likes to take photos.


 SLEDDING!!  WEEE!  James and Wesley
 Rylan
 Reagan
 Brian and Eden


 All the kids have now had echo-cardiograms.  This is James.  Checking to see if all is well as the bicuspid aortic valve Rylan has is genetic.  I got an echo as well.  Should know the results this week.

 At the aquarium.  The ray is smiling!

 eating skin!  Ewww!
 James with "Marina".  Eden wanted to see the mermaid over and over.  She never sat by her.  When Brad came in a little late she took him straight to her, but she as gone!  "Brad missed out."  she told me.  Later that night she just wanted to know where the mermaid went.  Where was her home.  "Is she sleeping at the beach?"

 Brad and sister VanOrden.  She was so sweet to come listen to Brad play the piano.
 New thread holder made by my neighbor.  I love it!
 I was cutting Brad's hair and wanted to leave it like this so bad.  I thought it looked so good.  I told him he looked like a rock star.  He responded, "I'm not a rock star. He wanted me to buzz a number one ALL OVER HIS HEAD.  I couldn't do it.  We compromised.

 This was the finished result.

 Aubryn's basketball team.  SO fun to watch her play!

 We told the kids no screens and after much protesting and whining, something amazing happened.  They started to play games with each other!!!



 Eden wanted things at the grocery store and she told me, "If you buy it for me I will be happy! and Grandma will be happy!" and then, "You are a naughty mom!."
 Boys ready for the Christmas concert.  SO GOOD!
