Abbie had a friend over today after church. Abbie and Devon made gingerbread cookies and Christmas wreaths. It was a fun afternoon baking.
LuLu’s last night was Friday and we went to Pine Tavern and to the old tower theater to watch Elf. Noah was at a birthday party and Hunter’s friend came along. We had a fun evening and laughed like crazy.
Abbie stayed home from school one day while LuLu was visiting. We went to a little tea house and made Christmas cookies. It was a good day to play hooky!
Tonight the kids had their Christmas performance along with project night in their classrooms. It was fun because LuLu got to be there.
With Lulu visiting we wanted to go skating as a family, and what better place to do it as we count down to Christmas!
Ice is about 12 inches thick... it’s been cold this week.
Kelly and I got out for a hike in the hills around our neighborhood this morning with Holly. Cold crisp and clear.

Today in chapel Noah and Abbie received the award for diligence. We are very proud of their hard work.
As we posted recently our dog (Red) of 15 years passed away. We were not planning to get another pet for a while but recently we found out about a family looking to give away their dog due to expecting a fifth child and not having a lot of outdoor space. The dog is one year old and is a Goldendoodle. The minute we met her we fell in love. Being a Goldendoodle means she will hardly shed if at all which is perfect for cuddling and not getting hair everywhere. Her name was Hutch and after having a boy dog for 15 years calling a girl dog a boy name just didn't feel right. If she is a girl we wanted a girly name. So, we decided that we would rename her keeping Hutch as her middle name. After a few days of not knowing what we should call her we decided she was our Christmas dog and we would call her Holly, or Holly Hutch. Holly loves to follow us from room to room laying wherever she can to get loves and enjoys daily walks exploring her new neighborhood. We love that she is a part of our family and look forward to many years with her. Life is just better with a family dog.
Oh and we think their might be some resemblance here:
Lights on the house and today is the first Sunday of Advent!
