Merry 2014

So much happened on Christmas this year. It was full of new and different. What I loved most is photo number one. We are at GG's house with this crazy group. They are OUR crazy and are loved beyond measure. Binks, Uncle Jake, Auntie Rissa, GG TaTa, Daddy and our five littles: Thank you for being my magic. Same time. Same place. 2015.

German Christms

It was your first big concert. Your class sang a German Christmas song and rang bells with all of your might. You were so loud and proud. The Church's and Papa Kristi came to give their support. The teachers from PreK-8th grade gift a lovely Christmas concert every year. Another night of faith, love, friendship and family.

St Nick Day

I adore that Kade's school has a holiday tradition. Today is St. Nick Day! All students place their shoes in the hallway. The teachers explain St. Nick. Shhhh.... 'He' is out there delivering tangerines, gold coins and a peppermint stick in each child's shoe. I appreciate being a part of this surprise. Kaden is going to be over joyed with this gift. St. Nick gave an extra delivery for Ashton in Kaden's other shoe. 

Festival of December 2014

'Festival of December' is now in full swing. Our first night is at the Zoo Lights. This is the first year you boys remember the year before: a tradition has been created! As it is our 7th year spending time with TaTa doing one Christmas activity a week and one activity with only the four of us. We named our time 'Festival of December'. I cherish each event every year...

Daddy injured his knee. We rented a wheelchair for the zoo. It took all of my strength to get him up the hill as we left. That is a big hill! I was huffing and puffing. It was very chilly outside, which did not help matters of the hand much!
