Celebrating all week long!

Christmas Eve at St. Michael's

Ahh, Christmas!  We are basking in the post-Christmas time, because as always, Christmas itself went by in the blink of an eye.  We had a chance to spend time with many loved ones over the past week to celebrate, we attended a beautiful Christmas Eve mass at St. Michael's (and I was able to play my flute!), and we have also enjoyed a good amount of free time to enjoy all the fun new toys with the kids. 

Santa surprised the kids with big gifts on Christmas morning - a new desk for Evie's room, and an outdoor ride-on hot wheels car for Noah.  Evie has been having fun building Harry Potter Legos, doing Zentangle, reading her new books, counting her steps on her FitBit, crafting and drawing with all her new pens and markers.  Noah has spent lots of time playing with his new Bruder trucks and accessories, building Lego sets, wearing his various new outfits (football and Spiderman), and drawing pictures of football teams.  

Even Roscoe got a stocking!

I'll try to summarize the past few weeks with some pictures!

Last day of school before break - we shoveled our way to the bus stop!

As we end the decade, my heart is full. This is the decade that Evie and Noah joined our family, and we have made some incredible memories together.  We look forward to all the adventures ahead, and we wish everyone a happy and healthy start to 2020!
