December Highlights


Here is a picture from our trip to St. Louis that I didn't get in. Finally we found something that would wear our crazy boys out. They had a really great time playing inside this hamster wheel and went back to it several times throughout the day. Like I said before, the science museum was a lot of fun.


We also at the beginning of this month had our first snow. There was just enough on the gound that the boys could sled outside. They also tried out their little snow boards as well. Even little Christopher got into the snowboarding frenzy. I would have gone outside with them but I have been experiencing a lot of illness
these days with a succession of sinus infections. We have been getting a load of winter weather so hopefully I will be getting out and enjoying the winter weather sometime soon.

Of course December wouldn't be complete without the annual school Christmas program. Ethan and Stephen were in it this year together. It was fun watching the program. The picture quality is poor because we were so far away in the bleachers.
December is also the month of Ethan's birthday. He desired a Christmas tree
cake so I tried to make one for him. We also did chocolate cupcakes for those who didn't want the white tree cake. Now I know why cake decorators get the big bucks. We had a great time with family and friends as we celebrated Ethan turning seven years old. He was so excited and happy for his special day.
