so far in december...

we went to van's kindergarten class Christmas party

put up Christmas lights

(mia didn't want to be left out of the action, so we bundled her up and brought her out to watch)

the first (and probably only) snow of the year. melted in 10 mins.

painted my accent wall

mia's losing her hair, but hasn't lost any of her cuteness

dinner with friends and fam

taking boxes to the dump

jas and mia being cute

van going on a run with mom

kids hanging out (van insists that muscle shirts are cool)

making Christmas cookies

much to my husband's chagrin, we put up our fake ghetto tree (he wanted a real one)

it turned out ok except the ceilings are too tall and it looked funny, so i had to make shift a little "present" for it to sit on

van got to wear his pajamas to school and watch the polar express with his kindergarten class. he was stoked.

welcoming dad home from work. we love him.
