Christmas Roundup 2015

December happened in a flash here, and here are the standouts:

 Christmas jammies

 tree trimming,

the everlasting magic of trains,

family holiday parties,

inlaws and outlaws,

cousins,

inadvertent matching bookend boys,

grandparents,

karaoke machine, scooter, American Girl dolls,

and Christmas magic!

 

Mini Warriors

Our very own St. Monica's Spartans got to take the court before the Warriors game on "Christmas Eve Eve," thanks to a team dad who has friends in high places. I'm pretty sure this was the highlight of their year... and the dads were nearly as excited as their sons!

 

When She Was Good, She Was Very, Very Good...

Clara got to show off her angelic side this year as in the annual production of the Nutcracker that her dance studio puts on. Ringlets and rehearsals made December extra-crazy, but Clara loved every second, especially the additional reindeer tap routine in the special "concerto" show.  Her posse of friends and family who showed up to cheer her on made the experience extra special!
