Lucas lost his second tooth on Thanksgiving.
Ethan's scout den had a picnic and clean-up event at Peacock Park, then created trash monsters at their pack meeting.
Sarah's girl scout troop walked in the Flower Mound Christmas parade (with her troop leader, Katie).
Sarah's troop also had their December meeting at our house where we learned about fire safety and roasted marshmallows.
I spent the night at our new friends' house with three of their four kids, as #3 had broken his arm on the trampoline and needed a hospital stay and arm surgery. Thankful to be able to find a new "village" here in Flower Mound that will help our family in case of crisis too.
The kids has their holiday parties at school. Sarah and her friend Ali raced around the classroom while biting both ends of a straw with an empty pop can suspended from it...no hands and no dropping it or they had to start over.
Ethan, his friend Peyton, and his teacher Mrs. Kinney, laughing during the licorice-eating contest. No hands here either!
Lucas made a snowman and I read his class a story about Frosty.
It was an especially fun day after a challenging week when the world was still mourning the victims of Sandy Hook Elementary. We cherished every minute and continue to be reminded to do so.
