Holiday highlights
We love December in all it's crazy glory. I was determined to not let this month get by without a wrap up blog post. Bear with me...it's better late than never.
Let the month of celebrations and activities begin...
Avery was invited to ring the bell for salvation army in the middle of December.
With no sunshine overhead and icy cold temperatures, Avery set out to ring the bell with the finest intent. She and her friend, Alexis were very shy but serious in their bell ringing. I don't actually know how much money they raised (they stood out for 20 min) but, I am quite there has been anyone cuter collecting money.
Brrr......this winter has been dreadfully cold and icy. We have been bombarded with 3 feet of snow and even higher drifts. School has already been canceled 6 days. Yes, 6 total days SO FAR. I can't imagine playing in the snow these days, but if Jeff is out shoveling the kids will still want to go. Here is Zach after some time shoveling the brutal icy snow. Can you notice the ice on the trees. You might think, oh how pretty, I say YUCK My birthday lunch was fabulous. Friends gathered to celebrate and chat with one another. Everyone was so kind and I was treated to many wonderful birthday gifts. Thank you ladies.

Christmas morning
Christmas morning brings lots of smiles and bright happy faces. Lucky for us we didn't start opening until 7:00 and enjoyed every minute...well, every hour of the "opening" Avery will stop and play with each new item. Ellie is loud and happy. Zachary just can't wait till the next gift. That's the way it goes. Santa surprised the kids this year. I have to say they were really good and Santa must of noticed. We were happy to have grandma and grandpa at our home and excited to have gigi and papa join us on News Years Eve. Thanks to our parents for making our holiday so special.
