The month of December

The month of December according to my phone.

 We went to the Chinese Lantern Festival with my aunt and uncle. It was very interesting and pretty cool. This is a castle made completely out of plates, cups, and silverware. Pretty crazy.

 This is the ice storm we got in early December that closed the city down for 6 days.

 Little Brynlee watching the kids and dad play outside in the snow.

 After a long day of playing in the snow, Macie came inside to lay down and warm up and Camden wanted to lay with her. Here they are "sleeping" together.

 I got a phone call from Addie's school one day saying that she had a "fever" of 99.3 and that I needed to come and pick her up and that she wouldn't be allowed to come to school the next day either because they have to be fever free for 24 hours. She wasn't even sick. I mean, she a had a little cold, but nothing that should keep a child home from school. She was totally fine and normal and really had no "fever". So the next day we went to the children's museum and played with  my "sick" little girl.

 For Christmas Macie wants this doll bed. Geoff and I said to ourselves, "we can make that for around $10." So we did. The one on the left is the picture of the bed in the magazine. The one on the right is the one we made for her. We chose to do it in her favorite colors and a fabric that matched her personality. It is perfect and I am so excited to see her reaction!!

 My brother and his wife came into town for Christmas. We went to Downtown Ft. Worth with them to check out the decorations and see the Santa toy land that they had all set up. It was fun. Here are the kids by some of the décor.

 Our reindeer Nelsie that comes to visit us each year. This was her last day here and she decided to zipline it from the toy room to the kitchen.

This sweet little girl was all worn out after church one Sunday. She fell fast asleep in the 5 minute drive home from church. Love this girl.
