The end of December was filled up to the brim with school activities, tests & school projects and just plain ol' getting ready for Christmas.  Here are some of our highlights.

Alaina's first band recital playing the flute.

Ethan's orchestra concert playing the cello.

Alaina's group gingerbread house for science class.

Alaina and Jason 'resting.'

Emmett getting into  the Christmas spirit.

The little boys rocking out.

We also got a visit from Santa before his big Christmas work-week.  He was very nice to stop and talk with the kid for a couple of days.  (Thanks Steve!)

And finally...a couple of snuggle pictures with Robert and Emmett.  Those two remain inseparable.
