December 2020

 December is always a busy and exciting month.

Alex got some glasses!  It's a very weak prescription but it has bluelight blockers as well--should be great with virtual school!

Alex is so good at setting up a little treat box for all the delivery people.

Heather and Royce came down for a visit so Lydia got a chance to play with Otis.

Lydia and Henry helped me make Christmas goodies.

Random picture of William.

Rich helped me with the final Primary Activity for the oldest primary boys.  He taught them knife safety.

Lydia and Henry had fun doing crafts as we learned about Christmas around the world.

It rained after a record 240+ days without rain. Lydia was in heaven!

My parents were in town before they drove to Elise's for Christmas.  We ordered some Georgian and Armenian food in honor of Jacob.

We decorated gingerbread houses.

Lydia practiced riding her bike.

Our neighborhood put on a Christmas party at the park.

Lydia drew the sweetest picture in her Come Follow Me journal.

Lydia was William's backpack.

We had a lot of fun with Grandma and Grandpa in town.

We made sure we went outside to see the Christmas star!

We had our traditional Christmas Adam sleepover under the tree.

Lydia and Rich worked on seeding the pomegranates.

We had a delicious Christmas dinner! 

Henry and Lydia made Christmas Crackers for us

And of course we left some treats for Santa and his reindeer.

Christmas Day was wonderful!  The kids got so many fun gifts, as usual.  Lydia's excitement as she found that she had a Barbie house was amazing!

Grandma and Grandpa came back for New Year's.  We took them over to Floyd Lamb Park.  It was really chilly!

In the evening we had a countdown and popped some poppers outside.

Henry made some delicious chocolate fondue for us to eat for dessert.

Phew!  What a month!  On to 2021!
