Christmas 2015

We had a very Merry Christmas.

For the last couple of years Beckett has organized a Christmas Concert for us. We put it on on a Sunday a couple of weeks before Christmas. This year Beckett organized the program and acted as the MC. You can watch videos from the concert here.

In keeping with tradition, we did the pajamas on Christmas Eve unwrapping. We had a particular theme that we extended even to the parents.

Then the kids wrote letters to Santa thanking him for visiting.

Welcome to Christmas morning! (My family room sure looks good with a tree in it. I kind of miss the tree.)

Felix received this awesome Batman house, and Beckett got the LEGO set (the Emperor set) that he's been longing for.

Merry Christmas to all!

December Days

We took advantage of the warm December with lots of time outside.

Beckett and I went on a long hike in December. That kid has a lot of endurance. We saw a lot of ruins and even the state park was decorated for Christmas.

The bus stop buddies go on "the visiting trip." That's what they call the little jaunt into the woods behind the bus stop.

Every Christmas Santa and Mrs. Claus visit all the neighborhood children on their fire engine. It's such an exciting night.
