December 2020

We sure had a fun December! Here are some photos of our adventures... wildly out of order, as usual. :-)


Celebrating Christmas with Grammie, Erich, Heather, and Dixie!


Christmas Eve walk in the rain (complete with Santa hats and Nutcracker socks!)


I made Max a few bookmarks - he liked it!


Finger knitting!

"Mom, take an action shot of me finger knitting!" Haha

Playdate with Max's best friend from summer camp, Michael!


These guys are like two peas in a pod.


Socially distanced visit with Santa (we all wore masks in line).






Handsome boy on the day they recorded their class holiday concert! Click here to watch the performance.

Max's school put on a drive-through parade where we all drove through the parking lot and there were blow-ups, lights, and the staff and teachers were waving and cheering. It was so cute and Max loved it! At the end the kids all received chocolate milk and a cookie to take home. Here are two of Max's teachers - Ms. Hellavi and Ms. Sujatha.

Happy boy seeing his teachers!

Max's former teacher, Ms. Liana, even handed out cute pencils!

Max and I have an annual tradition to go to Waffle House for breakfast (and sit at the counter!) before shopping for Daddy's Christmas gift. Since it's not the best time to go eat in a restaurant, I made our usual Waffle House order at home. Max liked his homemade Waffle House hat, too!

We had an opportunity to get together with our friends to celebrate Natalia and Kirsten's birthdays and Christmas. The kids are trying out a microscope that attaches to a laptop in this photo (examining taste buds, I believe). 

Birthday girls!

Enjoying a little guy time


 


Wearing matching hats and getting ready to play catch!

Finger knitted necklace by Max!

Also a beautiful headband / collar for Lucy. :-)

Working a crossword puzzle together!


A white Christmas in Hiawassee!







Our annual Christmas morning birthday party for Jesus!





Prior to Christmas, Ben asked Max what he wanted for Christmas. He told Ben he'd be happy with a rotten lemon. So, as a joke, we cut a lemon out of paper and wrapped it up. We had Max open his rotten lemon first! We all had a good laugh about it.


As usual, Santa left a note and bell in Max's room! He woke up a little after 5:00AM to ring the bell to wake us up to come get him for presents. Fun!




Writing out a "menu" for Santa and the reindeer.


On Christmas Eve we usually go to church then out to dinner at a Chinese restaurant. This year we watched church online (they'd planned an outdoor service, but it got rained out) and did takeout Chinese dinner. Not quite the same, but still fun!
