A busy, busy December. Like usual. Kate and Jane both participated in their school's Christmas plays. Jane was a little pig in "Animal Christmas" and Kate was a part of "The Colonial Christmas". Both of them did a wonderful job!
The first weekend in December, I joined Jennifer in Denver to celebrate her friend Brandy's 40th birthday. We stayed at a nice hotel, ate yummy food, and went to a really expensive spa. It was lots and lots of fun to get away for the weekend.
Playing games with Mrs. Christie before their Christmas break from piano. The girls didn't really have a traditional recital because of the COVID non-sense, but Mrs. Christie did a good job making sure the girls had some sort of special event.
Kate and Jane had some of their friends over to build gingerbread houses. One of the gingerbread houses was farmhouse and the other was a castle.
Kate has been having continual nose bleeds. And of course, we added this to the hectic December schedule. Luckily, I know everyone from the surgery department. I knew she would be in good hands. She was brave and slept and ate a popsicle.
In Texas, our leaves fall a little later. We combined our neighbors leaves with ours to create a good sized pile for jumping and playing in.
Both girls got American girl dolls.
Another one of their Christmas presents from mom and dad were picture books for each year of Kate and Jane's life. I was finally able to catch up on scrapbooking because work drastically slowed down in the surgery department. Now the catch is to keep up with it!
S'more kit from Kristi!
Bryan made the girls a swing set for Christmas. He is so talented and did such a wonderful job!
My bestest friend Jennifer came up on Christmas Day to watch the girls, so Bryan and I could celebrate our 15th anniversary. We drove down to Austin and had a wonderful time. We rented scooters and explored all the murals.
Jennifer had fun with the girls for the 2 days making hot chocolate melting balls and playing
with Roo.
Oh! And lets not forget Bryan competing in the Best Medic competition in Fort Polk, Louisiana. He won first place at this regional competition, which means her qualified for the International competition for next year. Great job babe!
