December

 How cute is someone sitting in a big girl seat? How is she getting so big?

 Snow, this seemed to be a constant sight. We had the big ice storm, that wrecked havoc all around us. Thankfully our trees made it out ok. No major damage.

 December 1st saw the return of our Elf. Audra named her Jingle. Pretty good little girl. Very appropriate. Jingle also brought a tote of books, winter and holiday themed all wrapped up, and that was our advent calendar per say. Every night we opened a new book to read at bedtime. I love this tradition.

 Jingle had lots of fun this year. For the most part we were on the ball, and remembered her daily move.

 Finally able to pull out Christmas socks. And finally fitting someone's little feet. Goodness this second child has little feet.

 Being a little monkey, as per usual.

 Jingle creating some mischief.

 But being a good elf, she cleaned it up the next day. (Audra loved this one!)

 Pretty much the only crafting and creating I did in December. I made all the little girls felt flower headbands to put in their loot bags for Audra's party.

 Fully decorated and ready for Christmas.

 Another Audra favourite.

 Cute little christmas outfit. It barely fit her, but she was cute for the half day she wore it. lol.

 Jingle hanging out.

 Audra's christmas concert at school. Not the best picture unfortunately.

Last bit of mischief from Jingle.
December just kinda flew by. We were all sick at some point. Colds, bronchitis, stomach flu, you name it. We had it. Christmas break came and Audra really didn't understand why she wasn't going to school. It was pretty cute. Give her time and she will definitely look forward to christmas break.
