Pancake Breakfast

Greg and I stepped it up and helped make pancakes for the swim team after their practice. The chocolate chips and peanut butter we brought were a hit. 

 

Puzzle Kitty

Daphne has been keeping me company while I puzzle.

Christmas Eve day with Moffats, Christmas Eve night and Christmas Day with Arnolds (minus a couple who were sick)

 

December Misc

 

Loved hearing Kari play for the Christmas service

Alli used Grant's photo in her school newspaper story on water polo. 

My TA decorated my classroom door with clever book puns for the holiday door decorating contest. 

Cleaning Day Messes

This is the second time in the last month that I have made a major mess in the kitchen right after the housecleaner had been here. This one was a mishap with the Christmas stovetop potpourri. Sad. What a mess. The one before this was my lunch I had prepared in my lunch crock for the next day. It fell out of the fridge and all over the floor and cupboards. I really need to be more careful! Greg's comment was, "Better you than me!" True. 

 

Kari's 22nd Birthday

Chicken pot pie and Kylee over for dinner on Kari's 22nd birthday. She spent the daytime hours on a hike with Maggie. 

 

Christmas Band Concert and Stage Band Festival

 

Elegant Dinner

High school youth group Elegant Dinner night. They looked snazzy!

 

Snowball

I missed the Snowball photos, as I was still on an airplane coming back from San Antonio. Greg took some photos, and the other moms sent some my way. Grant asked his friend, Austynn, to go with him to the dance, and they went with a group. I wish I would have been there to insist that he wear a jacket to match the rest of the guys, but oh well! 

Aubrey went with friends in a big group, no date this time. I loved that she and Grant made sure to stop and get photos together at the dance for me. Those were my favorite of the bunch.
