December Snaps

We had snow in this December on and off. I had Wes decorate a little outside this year which the kids (particularly Sadie was happy about). Below are various pictures from events or time together and with others this month. 

my co-workers organized craft time to make ornaments

kids worked together on gingerbread houses 

white chocolate covered cranberries to give to co workers and neighbors.. very addicting

the girls and I with their friends at church (and Lindsey Thrasher) 

We spend a lot of time in the car these days picking up and taking to school, friends, practices, church, etc, It is such a valuable time and I actually look forward to it. Especially if you just have one kid in the car, you get great conversations! 

Levi enjoy snow days with neighbors, Huck and Theo

Levi practicing piano. He has been taking lessons this school year once a week. 

We had one tree upstairs (fake) where we kept gifts that matches the room and then our live tree downstairs with our meaningful ornaments. 

I had fun adding a little decor to the kitchen since it is the first year it was redone.
