December Fun

This holiday season has been a bit set apart for us.  We've been affected by illness for the entire month of December to some extent.  Most, not all, of us have been ill, but me specifically.  I've been ill, off and on, all month long.  Sadly, this meant that we missed out on many of the activities that we had hoped to enjoy.  However, we did manage to squeeze some fun in.  

The kids enjoyed baking cookies and making some of the treats we have begun to make annually like fruitcake, cookies, and rumballs.  


Cookie making with Nikolas is becoming a cherished time







They're getting good at making rumballs

We also managed to make an evening out to ice skate.  Nikolas and I stayed off the ice but the rest of the crew all ventured out.  


Hannah began with an ice assistant, but quickly ditched it to free skate.  John did well on the ice with his ankle, which was wonderful to see as the ice is like second nature to him.  He did experience discomfort, but he toughed it out for a bit just to enjoy the ice.  











Everyone tuckered out in just short of two hours, which seemed to fly by. 





We closed out the night with cups of hot cocoa and candy canes.  What a great night of holiday fun!
