December happenings

We watched Blue for several days and Adelaide loved playing in Blue's cage. Sometimes I think I'm ready for a dog, but I'm definitely not. 

I may have over done myself because while we were dog sitting, I also taught piano lessons and agreed to help my friend by watching her baby for the day. Eleanor and Adelaide love babies so they were very helpful with baby Danny. 

The boys had a fun run fundraiser and we loved cheering them on as they ran and ran their hearts out. 

Thursday evening I was exhausted and just wanted to watch a Christmas movie. We dipped some pretzels and all watched a movie together. 

Austin's turn to run! 

The best cheerleaders! 

We went up to Omaha to see my cousin graduate. Our hotel was right by Bass Pro so we stopped in to see the winter workshop! 

Adelaide looked so big hanging out on the couch while the kids all watched a movie. Thankfully, she slept well because she usually is a mess at hotels! 

My Grandma Pav was at the graduation and it was special treat to see her and hear Tylen speak! 

The graduation was only an hour! It was spirit filled as the prayers and speakers talked about relying on God as they do their medical work. I love exposing our kids to things like college graduations - it's hard work, but as they preserver, I know our kids can do hard things, like when it comes to getting an education! 

Everyone was exhausted as we drove back home. 

My Aunt Delzia sent some pictures that she captured! 

We've fallen in love with Omaha. It's nice to live close to other midwest cities and it was especially nice to be with family for a day without having to drive 8+ hours!
