December was a blur, we turned around twice and it was gone.

The towns Christmas Tree Lighting is always over Koi's birthday weekend and got to watch both Koi and Heath march through downtown and after disappear with their friends but we still got our freshly pulled candy cane.

Koi got a big old shark blanket for their birthday and somehow allowed us to drag them all over the floor.

Ashlyn won the holiday Sparkle Award for most festively dressed on their last day of school before break.

We had Christmas at our place and started out getting something stuck on the ceiling to kick it off.

After all these years, we STILL make them wait at the top of the stairs before coming downstairs on Christmas morning.

Luna's right there in it and Koi happily got another shark.

And our Christmas Games commenced.

Closing out the New Year at Poppies with pizazz in our pj's.
