December 2018

And so it begins...the basketball season!  This kid loves the game (not as much as baseball though!)

 Gettin' some air! Good Defense!

 I did some Christmas decorating at Zack's office and had two wonderful helpers.

 Cheeeeeeessssssseeeee!

Happy Birthday to our sweet Fernanda - #7!

She too wanted her party at the bowling alley!  Horse themed!

Showing off her bracelets. 

 Big brother helping little brother!

 Heeeehaaaaw!!!

 Even Papa got in on the fun!

 Let the Christmas programs commence...there were only 3 of them! 

School program!

 I asked them to take ONE MORE picture...

Caroline had her Christmas program the following morning!

She was the most beautiful angel we've ever seen! 

 Final Christmas program of the season, the Church program.

  

Even Evan participated in the program!

 Every now and then I am treated to a musical concert...

 Time to decorate the tree.  I had 4 great helpers!

The school had a chocolate chess tournament...guess who won first place! 

 This picture is so special to me because Jack, Caroline, and Fernanda all had the same preschool teacher and for Christmas made me a snowman tree ornament.  The teacher is retiring at the end of year and she asked me if Evan would like to make one this year since he won't have her as a teacher.  SO THOUGHTFUL AND SPECIAL! 

 December 19th Zack, Jack and ND papa met MI papa in Minnesota for a Pistons/Timberwolves game.  I think it was a good time had by all!

 Our house goof-ball!

 One of my favorite Christmas traditions...ringing the Salvation Army Bell.

Sweet Caroline turned 5 at the end of December.
Guess where she wanted to have her party...you guessed, the bowling alley!!
