December Miscellaneous, 2021

Christmas activities definitely were the priority in December, but somehow, we still found time for other activities.  Ruby's basketball season finished in December and we were so sad to see it end.  She loves playing and is really great on both offense and defense.  She is great at rebounding, and is learning how to take really great shots.  Her team had such a great time playing together.

Luke was surprised, and I think secretly so pleased to be awarded Student of the Month.   They had a big ceremony at the school and he received several prizes along with this certificate with his teacher's comments.  He is such a great kid and totally deserving of her praise.

We finally got some snow and the kids (and dog) took full advantage.

I was lucky and got to go fieldtrippin with my boy to the Planetarium.  I love watching him interact with other kids and seeing how much fun he had on the trip.  Being a field trip chaperone is the perfect way to be a fly on the wall.

One day she was here, and the next, in Mexico.  We will miss her, but are so excited for Erika and all of the adventures she will have in Guadalajara.

We stayed home for New Years Eve.  The kids convinced me to play Sorry, and I was definitely sorry for that decision.  We ate lots of yummy food and watched a movie together.  Then.....it got wild.  I think the kids were a little punch drunk from staying up so late - all I could do was laugh, and take pictures of course.   What a way to say farewell to 2022.
