That's our boy.  Him and his team, The Storm, came in third place in his region.  The top three teams move on to divisionals in January so his season continues.

Meanwhile, Reghan's birthday continued with a killer onsie from Nonnie and Poppie and the perfect accessory to it is an inflatable unicorn for the pool or lake from Emily and Robert. 

Evening games around the table.

Our baby Munchkin had her debut in the Wizard of Oz and was soaked up the spotlight.

A little pre-play fun stretching.

She couldn't have been more excited.  If you don't see the video below, click on the following link.  Our Skipping Munchkin - Dec '17

 

Her front row munchkin was very animated.

Her brother and sister watched both shows and loved each one equally.

Then there's Reghan making her debut as a flutist in her new band.  It's her school and 3 other's.  The nerves rose higher and higher the closer we got to her Winter concert.

She got up there and played great.  She was even played an advanced song that only a few partook in because of how advanced they were already.

She had a couple of her besties there to support her.  Of course there was Heath and Ashlyn, but Cav and Kenden also came to listen as well. 

Her friends, brother and sister, and Victoria showered her in flowers afterwards.

Then the after concert shenanigans began.  And was impossible to get a decent picture.

Our beautiful girl.

A yearly favorite is also the Cub Scout Sock-ball fight and this year did not disappoint.  If you don't see the video below, click on the following link.  Cub Scout Sock-ball fight - Dec '17

  

Because that wasn't enough, Star Wars was released and on opening night we saw it with Heath's Cub Scout troop and a theater full of other scouts and their families.

Cookie decorating quickly turned into a neighborhood cookie party.

A visit to one of my work distribution partners had a holiday luncheon at their warehouse and the kids joined me this year.  They had such a fun time.  They got to drive forklifts and lift things, meet John, the resident ghost, and visit everyone's office.  The best one by far is Gary's who's office is filled from floor to ceiling with various types of taxidermy with a story behind each one of them.

Leaving with Heath and Ashlyn singing karaoke in the best way possible.  If you don't see the video below, click on the following link.  Heath and Ashlyn's Karaoke - Nov '17
