Christmas Orchestra Concert - it amazes me that Piper has only been playing the violin for 2 years!!! She is amazing! I can't even read music.

Max's school Christmas program ;)

Christmas morning

December stuff

When your favorite sugar substitute is on promo at Costco (Lakanto Monk Fruit!) 

Weekly Furry Friends Meeting

Our super sad attempt at making a gingerbread 'manger'. Somewhere along the way we even lost a shepherd ;) And then we got bored and never finished it.

Max did some 'crafting' of his own.

Christmas Orchestra concert

Headphones on sale for $6 ?? - I'll take them all, thanks. Max goes thru these things weekly.

Caption this. (she loves us, I promise)

School Christmas program.

I helped make this quilt for our old bishop.

When your family Christmas Eve dinner gets cancelled because of too many sick people, you eat the parts that you were assigned ;) (along with some ketchup bread, of course)

My neighbor texted me one day to see if we wanted to trade a couple of puzzles over the school Christmas break. Yes, please!

When your cat spills a glass of water all over a puzzle... you glue the pieces back together...

They help a lot...

Ice skating with the cousin.

We got Max an air fryer (cause he eats fries every.single.day).

Healthified chicken nuggets test... with and without parmesan cheese. Both good.

I opened my birthday puzzle early (ya know, the table was already set up and all... so....). It was hard!!!! Crazy how the straight edges make such a difference!

We took Max shopping with his Christmas money. He chose Peppa Pig characters - big surprise ;)

 

Merry Christmas

All ready! Lola will stand guard thru the night ;)

Oh look, 6 sets of headphones. Those should last a couple weeks ;)

Twenty One Pilots sheet music for the violin. Enjoy.

Oh hey, that's mom's.

New Zealand temporary tattoo.

Tyler and Josh's signatures (prints) - "The songs on the radio are ok. But my taste in music is your face."

Bring on the happy tears!
Signed playbills... Andrew Rannells (and The Boys in the Band cast), Ben Platt (and Dear Evan Hansen cast), and Jen Collela (and Come From Away cast). Best present EVER. (Her dad thought he was giving her the best present (a Disney cruise) - nope - tears over Andrew Rannels - mom wins!)

 
Piper gave me a Twenty One Pilots tshirt - ha.

Ready to hang on her wall. All day/week/month, she kept saying "Andrew Rannels touched that, Andrew Rannels touched that!, Andrew Rannels touched that!" Ha.
