December Recap

We had a busy December. The snow made it even crazier. We had late starts for school on Tuesday (12/16) and Wednesday (12/17). Then we had no school Thursday or Friday. It was quite a head start to the Christmas break.

The kids got LOTS of time to play in the snow. Lily and Fletcher spent almost all day outside for a almost a week. By Christmas Eve, they were tired of playing in the snow.

After nearly 5 days of confinement in the cul de sac, we had to get to Starbucks and the grocery store (along with the rest of the population of Snohomish).

Don't you just want to pinch those cheeks?

Gabe was a little camera shy.

Christmas Eve singer

Lily sang "Some Children See Him" for Christmas Eve family service at church. I didn't catch the very beginning because of technical difficulties and it is rather dark, but you get the idea.

Christmas pictures with cousins

We went to get pictures with Charlotte and Eli on Friday. Eli missed his nap for the pictures and wasn't very happy. Lily, Simon, Fletcher and Charlotte were troopers. It was a tough job, but we got some cute pictures.

The little monkey turns 4

Fletcher is 4 years old today. He had a great monkey party yesterday with all his friends. They made monkey door hangers, played monkey games and ate banana cupcakes. I will post pictures when I get them.
