Dad and Aubree had great birthdays! We gave dad his favorite talk tapes on CD so that he could listen to them in his truck! He was pretty excited! He also got some yummy chocolate tools!
.
For Aubree's 12th Birthday we tried to surprise her.
The plan was to send her and Dad to get pizza and drinks while the guests showed up. However one of her friend showed up 20 min early and spoiled it... but that is okay, we still yelled surprise when she got home and had a really fun party.
Hallie even helped with the games, making her own (pin the nose on the snowman) The girls loved playing her game.
Another fun thing for December is making gingerbread houses.. This year we got a little village, so everyone got their own house/building to make and decorate! It was a fun night as a family and they turned out great!
Dec. 16 Brae had her first piano recital. She started piano in September and is getting better every month. She played 2 songs with Kara, and they both did a great job. We had to be first on the schedule because Kara had a choir concert that same night. So, once they played, we rushed out and headed to the concert.
