December has been a whirlwind! At the beginning of this post you can see Bryce & Drew showing off some of our outside decorations. We started on those Thanksgiving weekend. We've also been busy shopping, wrapping, baking & attending the usual Christmas functions. The rest of the pictures in this post are from a great Albuquerque tradition, the River of Lights. Every year the Botanic Garden hosts this event, and they decorate their grounds with a ton of beautiful light sculptures. I've just posted a few of the boys' favorites, but there were many more! We had a great time checking them all out with Stu's parents. Note that the boys are in full winter mode, complete with hats, boots, mittens, etc. It really wasn't that cold, but they will take any opportunity to bust out the winter wear! Unfortunately, we've heard that it's currently sub-zero in Montana, so we may NEED all of those clothes next week! Hopefully it will get a little warmer by the time we get there!
Bryce also had his preschool Christmas program last week, in which he was a cloud & a tornado. His teachers always work their current unit of study into the program, and this year it's weather. The kids did a great job! Why no photos, you ask? Because I was in charge of the video camera for that event. My father-in-law took all of the stills. I need to get some from him. I may even get ambitious & try to post a short video of Bryce doing his lines. Stay tuned!
We hope that everyone reading this is staying warm, eating Christmas cookies & getting ready for Santa to visit. Happy Holidays & all the best of the season to you & yours!
