Catching Up

The lead-up to Christmas was wonderful. The kids had a few days off of school and we got to do lots of fun things together.
Charlotte and Edison enjoyed opening Christmas cards, especially the musical ones sent by Mrs. Hirsch.
There were many occasions to dress up. In this case, Edison and Charlotte were playing train with the dining chairs.
We had a great morning with Ashely and her boys, Colin & Pierce, hanging out at the Children's Museum and hitting the mall for lunch. Here are all four of the kids - busy, active, happy - just what we want before heading home for naps!
Charlotte and Pierce are just a couple of weeks apart in age. They are well-matched as you can see.
Just before heading out for winter break, the students in my leadership class had a holiday party. I took the kids and they enjoyed all the Christmas scenery and beauty and Hannah's house.
We've actually had a mild December with very little rain. We have tried to get outside most days, like this little walk around Huckleberry to take in the lights.

Like father, like daughter.Charlotte LOVED the spicy phad thai. Incredible.
The kids were both a little under the weather on Christmas Eve eve. So they took it easy and watched a lot of Busytown videos.
Charlotte still had time to look cute, though.
