December was a whirlwind like mentioned in previous posts but we of course had fun along the way. We visited with Santa at the annual Cookies with Santa event at CFES and I was once again the chairman of the event. It was exhausting but rewarding and Ben and I were both glad when it was off our calendar. The girls attended many holiday parties...at their schools, friends homes, church and so on. We went to our traditional Nutcracker performance a few weeks before the girls performed it themselves and this year we took Olivia too. She had never seen the production in the big theater and she loved every single minute of it.
Olivia discovered her love for salad and comes home everyday from preschool with shoes full of sand. I don't know how she can stand to walk with sandy socks all day. Isabelle had Polar Express Day at school and wore her reindeer nightgown and continues to hang out with Paloma and Emily most days at school. Ben traveled multiple times to snowy weather destinations and tried to take a picture one night to text the girls. I think we were all a little relived when December came to an end and life began to slow down just a bit. Life is a funny thing, the days often seem so long but the weeks fly by too quick. Now we are on to the new 2014 and have new goals and great expectations once again. According to Oprah, Cheers to a New Year, and another chance for us to get it right.
