Adios December!

Ah, the month of December. The change from autumn into winter! I've actually been enjoying winter this year. I think because we had a few snow storms that left us with a white Christmas this year, for the first time in I don't know how long? 10 years? At least that since we've had a good snow on the ground for Christmas! We had a pre-Christmas gathering the weekend before at Jon's moms house (a few photo's below) and then on Christmas day (no pics in this post) we got up, made cinnamon rolls, started a fire in the fireplace and opened presents and had a nice relaxing day before heading over to Nana's for Christmas dinner. As much as I enjoy spending the holidays with Jon's family I really miss mine during this time of the year and hope that we can start spending at least one holiday a year with my family. I don't think I've spent a Christmas with any of my family since the 1990's and the early 1990's at that!

In December we got to play in the snow, decorate the house for Christmas, put up the Christmas tree, hang Christmas lights in the front yard, build ginerbread houses and bake Christmas cookies and attend fun pre-school Christmas parties.

And Santa brought Bree that dollhouse she asked him for (pics later). But for now I'm glad it's the New Year. 2012.

And tomorrow I get this little girl registered for kindergarten! Hard to believe. We are trying to choice in to another elementary school since we've been hearing not so great things about our little neighborhood school, bummer! But there are a few others close to us that are really good schools that we are excited about! With that we bid December goodbye and welcome in the New Year and all of the new exciting things that await us this year!

Happy New Year!
