What a wild month December was! We had a blast spending time with family, hosting parties and being a part of the local tour of homes.
We started off the holiday season by cutting down our own Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving. It was close to 15 feet tall! This is a picture of Drew watering it after we put it up. I don't have a picture of it completely decorated, but it was neat!! We were part of the tour of homes this year, so we had everything all decorated before the calendar ever changed to December!
Drew had a rough month of time outs. I think the anticipation of Christmas got the better of him. I thought this picture was cute because Bode decided to serve the term with Drew in time out and Drew didn't like it very much!
Drew had a Christmas concert at school on the 20th. They did a reader's theater of If You Take a Mouse to the Movies. The preschoolers acted it out, and my fifth graders did the reading. It was really cute!
The preschoolers sang at the end, and yes, my son was the crow. He sang his little heart out. It was adorable!
This was the funniest part. He took a bow after every song, and I believe he was the only one to do so!
We got our first snow storm on the 21st, so the boys watched their daddy plow the driveway with the four wheeler.
This is from the Christmas party at my aunt and uncle's on the 22nd. The boys got the chance to meet some of my family they have never seen before.
This is Drew playing with my cousin Matt who lives in Seattle.
Bode all ready to go on Christmas Eve!

Drew got the #1 thing on his Christmas list, a camo jeep!

Bode and his new cheesy smile.
Drew finally got to play outside in the snow the other day with our neighbor girls and his best friends, Morgan and Rachel. He asks me every day if I can text his friends!
Bode didn't get to go out and play, but he liked watching from the window!
Drew and the girls built a fort, and Drew thought it was the coolest thing ever!!
It has been a busy, but very fun month. We feel really blessed to have such wonderful friends and family to spend time with. Today is the last day of 2012, and we can't wait to see what is in store for us in 2013!
