Believe it or not, there has been life and events since Niagara Falls. It was actually kind of a quiet December though. We were not bored and had lots to do, but we certainly weren't scurrying around from one event to the other -- which was nice! We got lots of family time in, I crossed numerous things off my "list of things to procrastinate on", and so I think we did well.
We ended November with a volleyball tournament for Kevin. The team did fairly well but were eliminated in the first playoff game.
Tournament days are always exciting and fun days!
The next day was career day at school.
Kade dressed up as a Coast Guard -- which is what he has wanted to be for a few years now.
He won the prize for his grade:0)
Kylie dressed up as a teacher -- which she has also wanted to be for a long time . . .and I could totally see happening if she doesn't get scared off by the long years of education!
The best part for her was the high heels (which of course is MANDATORY for a teacher!)
Kevin was an electrician and like his father, left just enough time for the necessities in order to make the bus and therefore had no time for picture :)
Kylie and I.
One of the reasons we didn't send out a Christmas card . . .
Kevin and Karter in their matching pj pants.

Love having both stockings I can proudly display and a mantel to hang them on!
LOVE this picture!!! Kade and Karter reading together.
