The First Half of December....

Crazy. That best sums up our first 15 days of December. I'll give you the run down....

We....

Found the perfect Christmas tree. Well, not really. We slacked off this year and bought our tree at Lowes. Once home, we realized, it's not really the "perfect" tree...few holes in it, birds nest, missing limbs...whatever!!

We....

aggravated our brothers...

We....

celebrated 8 birthdays (so far). Brady and Drake at Rivercity Bounce House...too fun!

We....

attended Family Fun Day at Brady's school
This is a fun art project. They dip the golf balls in paint and then the kids roll them over the paper. When it dries, they cut out the candy cane and ta-da...cool art!
Cate was not up for anyone touching her stuff!

We.....

Turned 30!!! (Well, Scott did)

Saturday night, my mom, sister, and I attended the Trans Siberian Orchestra concert. Scott took the kids to a local church for their live Nativity...he even took the camera!

We....

After visiting Santa and celebrating Aunt Fran's bday at Pasta House, we went on a horse drawn carriage ride through Tilles Park. Very cold but so much fun
All bundled up and ready for our ride

This picture cracks me up because in the carriage before us, a lady asked someone to take a picture of her group and then she stood up and blocked everyone so only she was in the picture. Fran and I thought it was outrageous...and yet here I am waving and blocking Fran!!!! We finished the night with dessert at Mike and Fran's house. Great ending to the perfect night!

Half of December down....Half to go....BRING ON CHRISTMAS!!!
