December was a bit of a blur as we spent the month sick with colds, sinus infections - which for the first time turned into pinkeye for me and spread to the kids. But, we managed to have some holiday fun sprinkled in there!
After having skipped last year, we started with our tradition of going to Zoolights right before Thanksgiving. Preston was really into lights this year so that made it really fun.
I took the older kids to see The Nutcracker, we had a few holiday parties.
The last day of school for the quarter the boys had a Jingle Jog along with holiday sing-a-longs.

| Love the post run snacks |
 |
| ...and the school's holiday spirit! This is more limited nowadays. |
 |
| So cute that each grade had a theme- Nate's teachers were elves |
 |
| Meeting Santa went ok this year...mostly. |
We had a fun morning one day at our gym, where the kids had a snow day, made crafts and met Santa (above).
Minus Josh getting sick on my birthday getaway (more in another post), Christmas was nice with our families. Christmas Eve with Josh's and Christmas Day with mine. Seeing Preston being able to enjoy and appreciate the holiday even more this past year has been fun.
We continued another year of Elf on the Shelf. Every year I think I'll get out of it, and every year the boys talk about Eddie our elf coming back! This year his friend, Norman, started to come. In times of not having much fun or magic, why not, right? Even if it means multiple nights of remembering during the night to do something with them. I surely thought this might be the year of having to talk about Santa, but not yet. The boys were excited to have had an Hot Wheels advent calendar to look forward to each day.
