December 2014

December was full of the usual holiday festivities and the normal life happenings. It was still warm enough for Lily and me to walk Kimball to the bus stop sometimes and go on our morning walk afterwards.

We made gingerbread houses as a family.


Kimball got to march in the AR (Advanced Reading?) parade at school.

We saw Santa at Home Depot. The boys were very confused since Santa had a grey beard.


Dale, Lily and I got to go to the work Christmas party. It was a fun party with good food, photo booth, photo scavenger hunt, dirty Santa, and good company. Lily was the best behaved baby anyone had ever seen (and the cutest little Santa).

Lily turned 5 months old!

Kimball was a reindeer in his school play. He was Donner, and in the play, Santa and the reindeer went to Branson, Missourri to put on a show to raise funds for Christmas. "That's right sir. In fact, back home I'm often referred to as the North Polish prince."

Cameron had several lines in his school Christmas play where Santa gets stuck in a time warp and shows up in prehistoric times where he and his reindeer educate the dinosaurs about Christmas. T-rex even has a change of heart! Cameron did so well that he filled in for another group who was missing their dinosaur due to illness. "Santa Claus thank you for bringing Christmas to us."

Lily wore the cutest Christmas dress to church. The first time she wore it, it only lasted an hour due to diaper drama, but she got to wear it a few more times.

We went to see the lights at Wintersmith Park. We were hoping to ride their little train, but it wasn't running :(. Instead we walked a mile around the lake and Dale carried Lily the whole way.

Santa was at the library and had a white beard this time! There were tons of fun Christmas crafts to do.

We celebrated Christmas at home and went to New Mexico for New Year's.
