December 2022

Kate sang with her school at the tree lighting ceremony at Fort Leavenworth.

The girls did an excellent job at their Christmas Piano Recital with Mrs. Low.

Kate had a superb student teacher over the last 4 months. They sent him off with lots of love and gifts.

We did a Luminary Walk in Overland Park, Kansas and talked with Santa Clause. The fairy gardens were our absolute favorite!

Kate and Jane made gingerbread houses. They get better and better each year!

And of course, we decorated sugar cookies with friends.

We brought home Ruby (Michael's dog) after Thanksgiving to see if we could mate her with Howie. Stay tuned...

Our gift to the girls for Christmas this year was a 5-day Disney Cruise out of Miami, Florida. We went to Castaway Cay, then to the Bahamas, back to Castaway Cay, a sailing day, and returned to Miami.

We were blessed with great daughters!

Meeting a dolphin was definitely a highlight for Kate and Jane. 

They loved swimming in the pool and watching Disney movies at the same time. 

We stood in line to see ALL the princesses- Jasmine, Rapunzel, Cinderella, Tiana, and Belle. The ship put on the musical Beauty and the Beast. It was absolutely fabulous! 

Kate and Jane were able to go to the Bibidi Bobidi Boutique before dinner one evening. This was also a highlight of their trip.

We flew out Christmas morning. Unfortunately, our flight was delayed and then delayed again. By the time we got home, we were exhausted. Well, mom and dad were exhausted. Kate and Jane saw that Santa had visited our house while we were gone and wanted to dive right in to opening presents!

For the New Year weekend, we drove to Silverthorne, Colorado to ski into the year 2023!
