December in General

 The amazing 4-hour rainbow!

Ice skating!

We decided to decorate before repainting the bookshelves...

Polly loved the Christmas tree 

African nativity 

 Lollipop nutcracker

 It's apparently important to document when I leave my comfort zone... :)

Christmas tree hunting for Grandma/Grandpa on Babbitt Ranch!

 The winner!

 Berea found a rock that looked like a loaf of bread. :)

Not only did I do a craft (home made ornaments), but I also made chocolate-dipped cookies/pretzels! Big year for me! :)

 Snuggles

Learning to get along

Family pictures

The Keepers

The "Bloopers"

And there you have it, folks!

Birthday Bash

The big November birthday bash, celebrating Boppa, Elijah and Corin's birthdays!

(Not pictured, the amazing family football game in which Aimee made an amazing kickoff catch and promptly broke her toe, and in which Andy sprained his ankle and Grace cut her nose. As I said, it was amazing!)

 Corin looks very bushy-headed here! Wearing a coonskin cap. :)

 Peter practiced tying a bow tie. You never know when you'll need that!

And a few bonus pictures...
