I took Brooke out for Mommy Daughter Date. She asked to go to the art museum to we went to The Chrysler and then lunch. Brooke was most excited to draw and add her contribution to the wall. I added a companion piece to someone’s existing taco tuesday piece.
Oma and Opa came to visit this Christmas and we had fun with them while they were here. We played around in our new cul de sac including AJ skateboarding with the kids. We went to Northwest River Park for a hike. We went puddle jumping and sightseeing at the NBG. We had a chilly day at the beach, and Alex ate his fill of sand. The kids opened Christmas Eve gifts of pajamas and training chopsticks for Brooke because our family tradition is to have Chinese food on Christmas Eve. On Christmas Day, everyone had fun opening presents and we all enjoyed a good meal.

Brooke and her friend Chase went to Polar Express together this year. They got to listen to the story, eat candy canes and drink hot cocoa, then ride on the tram through the Christmas lights!
At the end of the fall semester Brooke’s school had a Christmas program where all the 3 year olds dressed up and sang several songs that they have practiced for weeks.

We got to go to a free movie and see Santa today, compliments of our realtor Deb. Alex wanted to sit with Santa but didn’t want to stay for the movie so I took him to the park while Laura and Brooke stayed and watched the Peanuts movie.
