December was FULL of excitement!

We enjoyed...

christmas cards,

shopping,

wrapping presents,

santa's lap,

train rides,





feeding reindeer,


catching snowflakes,

trying to stay warm,

avaree being a reindeer for a week straight,

going to baylee and griffin's basketball games,

lots of friends and family gatherings,

colter, gus, and frankie

(it was a year of boys, we missed you simon!)

and best of all spending time with these cuties!

oh, and we watched the grinch way too much.

last but not least- the classic "avaree forcing frankie to smile" picture again.

unfortunately we also ALL had the stomach flu.

i'm sad the excitement is over but glad the flu is gone!
