Unholiday December

So, this post just deals with the regular livin' of December.  Not Christmas related, just the day to day.

Charley prepared to dance

Okay, I lied - this is their daily candy Christmas countdown, which they looked forward to as much as the advent!

And the morning ritual of finding Santa Starr, our elf.

 Reed decorating his house boat.

 C checking on her fairies.

 Found him!

 Charley reading a book to Reed.

 Her first book read, cover to cover, all on her own!!  No hitting!

The fairies left her a surprise!

 Reed and his treasure box.

 Paula sent us some yummy fruit!

 Going out to enjoy our only snow of the year!

 Spirit night at Chick-fil-a.  Healthier than McD, but against my philosophy.  What's a girl to do?  I'm finding us spending more and more time there...

 With our friends Tyler and Bella.

 Lunch with Charley.

 Out of sequence - back to that snow day.  We tried to sled, no luck.

 Christmas party at C's school - gingerbread houses.

 AND pajama day!
