December Memories

A few things from the last couple of weeks that we want to remember....
Gwen is our puzzle girl. She does puzzles daily and she can do hard ones! This Christmas puzzle is 50 pieces and she can do it all on her own. 
 We made fingerprint candy canes. The girls love anything that involves painting.





 Caleb discovered the whipped cream in the fridge. He had us all dying of laughter. He sprayed it in his mouth, looked totally surprised, and then said, "Mmmmm!!!" and started spraying more. Needless to say, we had to start hiding it in the back of the fridge. 

 We made reindeer cookies. Mommy is babysitting 4 extra kids these days and a couple of them were with us when we made our cookies. 

Homework is always better in a Santa hat. 
 Pa let Tess have the wishbone from the Thanksgiving turkey. The girls were so excited to pull it. Tessa got the bigger piece and wished for 2 candy canes. 
 Oddly enough the next day we had a candy cane hunt and Tessa found 2 candy canes. She was so happy her wish came true!
 Our cute Adam still wears his Santa hat day and night, unless he's at school or church. I'm not sure how many more years I will find him sleeping in it. But I sure hope this isn't the last year. He looks so much like his Uncle Mattman in this picture!
 We took a drive around Salem Pond. This is one of our favorite holiday activities. The lights on the water are so pretty!
 Adam finished reading The Hobbit a couple of weeks ago and asked if he could watch the movies. Daddy wasn't up for a late night, so Mommy stayed up late and watched the first movie with Adam. He wasn't very impressed with how much the movie strayed from the book, but he loved staying up late and watching a "grown up" movie. 
 The girls spent one Saturday morning doing ballet, gymnastics, and yoga. Tessa was the coach. I kept hearing, "Downward Dog! Upward Dog! Sitting Dog!  Running Dog! Belly Rub Dog!" I guess I need to do more yoga so they can learn some real moves.
