:: Looking back on 2012: December ::

In December, 2012...

we adopted our elf, Sandy Jackpot, and watched him take center focus of our lives for a month...

we found and cut down our beautiful Christmas tree...

we celebrated Owen's hockey-themed 6th birthday...

we invited the three ladies judging squad into our home (an annual tradition)...

we showed off our plaid jammies by the Christmas tree...

we dressed up all handsome and sang our hearts out at the school Christmas program...

we baked Christmas cookies...

we took our annual Christmas card photo...

we had a holiday dinner with friends...

we visited Bentleyville, and decided seeing Mrs. Claus was much better than standing in a one-hour line for her counterpart...

we celebrated with the newly engaged couple...

we celebrated and enjoyed our annual Golden Trapezoid (best friends) Christmas party...

we celebrated Christmas Eve with food, gifts and Minute to Win It games, all of which is documented on video...

We sure had fun...

and we opened Santa's presents on Christmas Day morning and spent the day at the cabin!
