Week 50

Monday, Dec. 7th

Kids were packed and ready for Ninny's!!!  She offered to take my little guys and Sienna for the night!  No arm-twisting needed!

Tuesday, Dec. 8th
All Renna wanted was a bath in Ninny's tub!  Karen said Renna said, "I could stay in here all day!"

I took Trev for a much-needed trim.

Wednesday, Dec. 9th

Birthday day lunch with my favorite people.  Happy birthday, Lil!

Every year Northstar links arms with two area studios and runs a toy drive.  Maddy, Trevor, Rocco, Gabby, and Gianna were all involved, and I worked backstage all night.

Renna crossed across the front of the auditorium and climbed the stairs to have a chat with Santa!

Backstage chaos (and it was HOT!):

Thursday, Dec. 10th
C4 had his school Christmas concert.  He plays percussion in the concert band.  My phone camera kept the littles happy.

C4 is standing to the right of the big bass drum in the red tie.  He played the all-important horse clomping in "Sleigh Ride".

Friday, Dec. 11th

We ran up to Springfield for Jonathan's game.  It happened to be Star Wars night.  The kids were thrilled.

R2D2 dropped the puck.

Jonathan was recognized for his 800th AHL game.  That does not include his NHL, 2 years in Europe, or ECL games.  It sure is nice having him right down the road!

Saturday, Dec. 12th

Charter Oak Crossfit celebrated their one year anniversary.

Renna never misses an opportunity!

Madison had a group of friends (school, church, and dance) over for a little Christmas party.

C4 arrived home from his game (still weird that he can get himself to and from places!) and sweetly snuggled with Trevor for a bit.

Sunday, Dec. 13th
Rocco finished up Learn-to-Skate and now is in 'In House'.  He's excited because that means he can use a stick!

Loving this December weather!

I got Colombo to play my little game of 'let's go find a good birch log'.  Keep your champagne and roses!  True love is the man who traverses downed trees across swamps.

 Mission accomplished!

Bikes out, tops down.  No complaints here!

Family Christmas movie night (Jingle All the Way), which means we all cram in Daddy's office to watch on the computer.
