Oh, it's December!

Well November came and went pretty quick and now it's almost the end of December...end of 2016!  I'm telling ya... the days are so long but the years are so short!  We have been busy with school, trips back to Greensboro, Christmas parties, birthday parties and getting ready for Christmas!

Max and Claire are doing good in Kindergarten. They really like their school, friends and teachers. Claire is doing a great job learning her site words and learning to read.  Max is doing good with words, but prefers, and enjoys, math.  Claire has only come home with homework once.  Max gets a folder at the beginning of each week to work on at home.  It's usually math and he finishes it on Monday.  We practice our site words every night and read a book(s) and BOB books.

Kate is just as funny as ever.  She has quite the personality.  Her newest thing is having a tantrum about food....usually because a cereal bar comes out of it's wrapper or breaks :) or if I say "no" to having something she wants.  She usually cries for a minute or two then gets over it.  She can give a look and I have no idea where she learned that from ;)

We hosted Thanksgiving at our house.

Max, Claire and Kate went for a ride on the "Polar Express" and had a visit with Santa!


Our punky! Not quite sure about Santa! haha
Gary, our elf, came back!

 Went to a Christmas tree farm with Grandpa, Grandma and Aunt Darcy


Max and Claire went to their first roller skating party! I even took a few spins around the rink!


 Claire had her first birthday party slumber party! (with my nieces!) and had so much fun!

My best friend found out she was having a boy!

I love how her parents dressed for the party! (I've known them for 34 years!)
This was our Christmas card! Love them so much!
Can't believe it is almost 2017! I just know it's going to be a great year!
