December...

It's been awhile since I've written in the blog.  Like for most people, December was a very busy month for us.  I felt like I spent most of my time either at the school volunteering or Gabrielle and I Christmas shopping.  And a little bit of everything else in between!  It will be nice getting back into a routine again.  Here are some pictures to sum up our festive month:

Right after Thanksgiving our elf, Elliot, came for his visit to keep an eye on the kids during the holiday season.

Every year we go to see the light display at Ethel M Chocolate Factory.

Gabrielle's favorite past time~ her brother riding her around the courtyard.

I have to post the wreath I made because it turned out so cool!

On our way to Maxwell's school program.  He was in "The Nutcracker" and he did such a great job!  He had three roles- he played the xylophone, he was a Chinese dancer, and he narrated a few different parts.

Making gingerbread houses is always fun!

On Christmas Eve we went to a party where the kids got balloon hats.

Christmas morning

Maxwell got a telescope from Santa.

Annabel got Cinderella's castle from Santa.

Gabrielle and her Feliz Navidad pal.

New Year's Eve!!

Hope your 2013 is everything you want it to be.
