Ethan got Legos for his birthday and the boys have had so much fun putting things together and taking them apart again. I guess I should get used to this sight, seeing as I have a house full of boys.

We decided to cut our own tree this year. It was quiet a successful outing! The boys thoroughly enjoyed running through the field of Christmas trees. We finally all agreed on one tree and got it cut. The lighting was perfect as I held the tree while Eric cut it down. I couldn't resist snapping this pic.

Game night! We played Yahtzee, and Jacki kicked all our butts. Mostly because of this roll! She was the only one that actually got a yahtzee!

The Knot Club is our little knitting/crocheting group. We meet once a month to have an evening of crafting and chatting. This is Pat, and at tonight's meeting she was trying to unravel a lap-full of knotted yarn. It's not the best quality, but the only choice for today.

When I was a child, we used to make advent calanders each year. We had a long strip of celophane that we tied Hershey Kisses into with ribbon. Every day you cut a kiss from the bottom of the strand to count down the days until Christmas. This year I made them with the boys. They're so much fun!

December brings lots of hot drinks to enjoy after the kiddos go to bed. Apple cider happens to be my favorite. Eric and I got these mugs on a trip we took to Seattle when we were first together. It's still one of my favorites to use.

December 2009

Okay people, I realize I'm like two weeks late for 2009, but throw me a bone will ya? I actually did make it all the way through 2009 taking a picture almost every day. If I go back and count I think I only missed 8 days. I'm pretty proud of that! It's taking me longer to post the last month's worth of pics though... mostly cuz I'm lazy. It'll happen, I promise. I just have to go through them all... which takes time. Thanks to all of you who read my blog all year and encouraged me to keep it up!
