December 2018 Wrap-Up

December was a whirlwind of busyness here in the 'Couve.  Here are some highlights:

  Here's a pic of Presley and one of her best friends, Devin, at recess (pic cred: her teacher, Mr. Murphine)

  Here's a pic at the Little's December assembly where one of the teachers won a contest from K103.  If you click on the pic, you can see a cutie pie in the front bottom row center where she is dramatically reacting to the excitement.  This is her Caroler's Club performance.

  

 This little Angel is the daughter of one of my fave cousins, Brent.  Her name is Regan and she, Dylan and I all fell in love with each other during the Olson Christmas Celebration.  Here are a couple of pics of her enjoying SnapChat

 Isn't she the cutest??

 Here she is with Brent, Kait & Baby Sister, Riley.

  Here's a power meeting while Daddy and I finalize Christmas gift details....over microbrews, of course!

 Mid-month the Marrion PTA hosted a Cookies & Crafts Night for families.  Here's a pic of Presley with another PTA offspring in the photo booth.

 Presley also joined the church's Kid's Choir for a musical performance.  She sang her little heart out for Jesus and smiled brightly the entire time!

  Here she is in her Christmas best.

  Dylan participated in a school district-wide basketball tournament.  The team won 29-5 the first game, but lost Game #2 19-28.  The bright spot of the game was Dylan scoring 15 out of the 19 points.

  Here's a rare pic of Dylan practicing his trombone.  I think this was the only time he practiced the entire Christmas Break!

  Here's the kids helping out with the Christmas Snack Fest baking.

  Here are the submissions for the cookie decorating contest at the annual Snack Fest.  My personal fave was Auntie Rhacelle's "Kim Kardashian" cookie

  The top 'sweater' cookie was the winner....me!  I also decorated the black "x-box controller" as well.

 Here's a pic of the kids opening stockings and presents

 A rare moment of gratitude and love

  I love these earmuffs Maddox selected for Presley

 More sibling love

 The day after Christmas, Teague got together with a bunch of high school pals 

  This month a teenager was created.  Lord help us!

  This is his very 1st day in the front seat....he's been waiting a long, long time for radio and seat control

 Here he is enjoying a breakfast of champions: a frosted sugar cookie chiller shake from Black Rock

  Here's a pic of Coco enjoying her new Christmas present: her very own bed

  Maddox sporting a bday jean jacket

  Here the kitties are both in their beds....this took a while for them to warm up to

I know there were many more precious memories created and either captured by video or not captured at all......we all had a very enjoyable month!
