December

LOTS to catch you up on.  I'll split it into a few posts.  According to my phone I'm currently loading 1,190 pictures all taken in the last month.  Ha.  First of all, the month of December was good, but CRAZY.  We had SO MUCH TO DO.  Lots of family stuff around Christmas, and packing up our house, finishing some work on the house, and packing.  

Family was awesome about babysitting while we worked on the house several days.  

 

 

The rest of the time we tried to keep the kids entertained while we were busy.  They're pretty good at keeping themselves entertained though, actually.

The last half of the month Caso was stuck on the couch mostly anyway, so he colored, watched shows and movies, played with toys, or games on the Wii or Kindle. 

We took lots of breaks though, for things like a last fire in our house...

For me to work on a few fun projects...

...and for fun trips to Storytime with Sarah, Liam, and Colin.

They had a Christmas craft too, and Neely did such a good job.  I pointed to where the parts of the face should go and she put them on herself.  I just did the antlers for her since it involved tracing her hands, cutting them out, and sticking them on the BACK.  I was really impressed with her, the eyes are really even too.  

We had a cookie decorating date with the Cassons one day too.

The last weekend before school ended Paige told me she wanted me to make Mrs. Arnold a husky ornament like I made for Stacy.  So I did that and Paige made Mrs. Arnold this picture:

She said when she opened it Mrs. Arnold told her if she had that sleigh Paige could ride in it with her.  :)

We went to her cute Christmas program, which was adorable.  She's in the top row.

It was one of Caso's first outings after his accident.

Paige presented us with the ornament she made for us in school.  :)

Then we had her last day.  :(  She came out crying, and we hung out in the office where she cuddled Grampa and Grama and visited a little more with Mrs. Arnold. 

Next up, the Polar Express!   Sorry for those of you expecting a post about our new home, but if I post out of order I'll probably get lazy and never post about Christmas and everything else before the move.  If you're impatient you can check out my instagram, I'm pretty good at posting random pictures there:
