December 2015 at a glance

Happy New Year!  This morning we all woke up to snow and have had such a great time walking, sledding, throwing, etc.  However, if you feel the need to take a peek at what the Rakoz family was up to last month, here you go!

First Christmas event for the season is the Marrion Elementary Concert.

Presley got to sit with her preschool BFF, Chloe

And no event would be complete without a pic of Presley with her other BFF, Mrs. Putney!

Poor Maddox got stuffed in a 3rd row and we barely saw him for his performance :(

Presley had her own performance at preschool.  Sadly, I could not make the event, but I took a pic of her in her beautiful dress.

At the annual Christmas Eve Snackfest, Grandma and Maddox executed their pre-planned recipe beautifully!

The theme for the Snackfest was Crazy Christmas Outfit and Daddy did not disappoint.  Thanks Cats.

The activity for the Snackfest was Ugly Christmas Sweater Cookie Decorating.

Mr. Grinch won high honors.

Presley's submission (1st submission out of about 8)

Daddy's cookie

Daddy took all the pictures on Christmas Day (at least I hope he did!  I took some videos.), but I managed to get this cutie of her Christmas dress.

Daddy attacking the Barbie Dreamhouse.  It only took 90 minutes which was a lot faster than the anticipated 4 hours.

Maddox chose to ask a few friends to join him for his birthday at G6 Airpark, then back to the house for pizza and video games.

Here's the sweaty and hungry gang.

Later on we had the family over for dessert.  I can't believe my baby is in double digits!!!

                                    Here's a pic of the kids at Starbucks using giftcards that Grandma and Grandpa gave them.  I find it amusing there aren't any beverages for any of them.

That's it for now!  Join us next month where I will have maybe 2 pics.....we have no plans for January.  Woo hoo!
