k-strat: December wrap-up

December is always a full month and this one was no exception!

Rosie has really gotten into jumping in the jumper.

And sometimes she has gotten pushed in the jumper.

Before the snow fell, our house was so pretty with the last fall leaves.

All my girls wearing pink, unplanned, of course.

We still have tons of candy from Halloween. The other day I baked a lot of it into cookies.

My girls again, in front of the Christmas tree one morning.

Ben ate a blue marker.

Rosie learned how to pull to stand.

Ben wearing little man clothes!

Jane got to go to a classmate's birthday party.

We wrapped Christmas books this year and let the girls open one every night. The babies have started trying to unwrap presents now!

After we put the kids to bed one night I found these notes Eleanor had written and left on the floor for the babies...my heart just about exploded.

We made tons of Christmas cookies!

Rosie's hair is starting to get long.

It's been cold because of the snow! We've really had to bundle up.

Jane made a gingerbread house at school.

I took a bike ride with Ben in the little front seat for the first time. He fell asleep.

We got to make candy cane cookies at our friend Miss Debbie's house! Miss Debbie has been doing this for years but it's the first year we came and also the first year she read the story because Papa Tex died earlier this year. He was surely missed at this gathering!
