Wow...I knew it had been a long time since I blogged. I winced to see it's been THREE MONTHS. Wowza. I missed it, for sure...and I know I'm going to kick myself one day, too.
I guess there's no time like the present to try to catch up a bit...so I'm going with a few snapshots to try to recapture some of what I missed.
December was, of course, full of holiday cheer. And woven in and around the festivities, we had our usual fun, too...
 |
| Easy Bake Oven fun! Watching anxiously! |
 |
| Baby B...give her a book and a warm fire...she's set! |
 |
| Baby A made herself at home on a blanket...and Miki was quick to join her! |
 |
| Black cats are hard to photograph, I'm often reminded...but I got a good one of Miki in the sunlight. Meow! |
We had some fun school adventures, too...
 |
| The girls did "money posters" for their math class...Susan B. Anthony and the two-dollar bill. They did a great job! |
 |
| Roller skating field trip! Thankfully, no casualties this time! |
And then there's our countdown calendar, which held many fun activities...
 |
| Decorating the tree! |
 |
| Making gingerbread houses (thanks to my most amazing friend for hosting!!!)! |
 |
| New fuzzy Christmas pajamas! |
 |
| Painting a canvas...Baby A chose a reindeer! |
 |
| Baby B painted a snowman! |
This holiday will stand out for me in a few sweet ways...ones that I hope I always remember...
The girls were so helpful in the kitchen this year! In particular, they did a great job of making sand tarts and sugar cookies...rolling the dough into little balls. Be still my heart...it was so much fun for all of us.
The girls surprised me with a countdown calendar of my own! Each day had a treat of some sort, usually a chocolate they'd pack in my lunch bag. What precious little hearts these girls have!
And the girls' countdown calendar ended with their very favorite activity, one they look forward to all year, it seems! The now-famous candy cane hunt!
 |
| They did a great job taking turns with the clues, too! |
It was a whirlwind month, packed full of fun!

Yay! You are back! I was starting to worry. I thought the election may have thrown you into a funk like it did for me. Glad to have those adorable child faces to focus on. It looks like A&B have grown so much. 😀
Three months that's a lot of time
Away... I can't believe how big the girls are... they look so so grown up
