December 2019

A hawk was sitting on our deck for a long time one morning. So cool to see wildlife this close.

Decorating for Christmas

Exploring at the creek at the back of our property

Raleigh got a new bed for an early Christmas present.

Visiting Santa at Kansas City Hospice House! Tristan is 9 and he's seen this Santa every year of his life. Jordon was too big to sit on Santa's lap this year :(

Boys decorated and ate sugar cookies and made some cool ornaments they got to take home.

House got a new roof and gutters this year!

Tristan's been wearing Dad's old motorcycle helmet around at random times. It's way to big but he likes it.

We got about 8 inches of snow this December, around the 15-16th. Boys did not have school for a couple days and had fun playing football in the snow.

Hello Christmas morning!!

Attempting to break the geode proved harder than expected!

It was a very warm Christmas day, about 68 degrees, so we went for a walk on the trail and soaked up the awesome weather.

The mad blogging has finished for 2019! It's a wrap. Hope to do less procrastinating in 2020, but don't count on it. We've had a full and great year with so many good memories made. We give thanks to God for so many blessings. Our hearts are full of gratitude. Looking forward to 2020!
