December is always a rush. Here's the quick version of how we spent the month:
Mr. Brown was asked to be Santa at the ward Christmas party, I think because of his beard. He had a good time figuring out how to dye it white (face paint, it turns out). Rose Pink made her own costume to be his elf.
Our friends the Peers came to town on a Saturday. We hung out, went out to eat, and then went down to Campus Martius to check out the ice skating. It was cold and late and the line was too long so we didn't skate though.
We got a very little bit of snow. This winter has been extremely light on the white stuff, to our general chagrin. It was a blessing not to have to shovel in December when I was eight months pregnant and Mr. Brown was so sick.
Christmas Day! My parents came up from Pennsylvania to spend the holiday with us, and it was fun to have them.
Aunt Joellen sent Star Wars t-shirts for all the kids, which they wore to see the new movie in the theater.
General weirdness (nuts in the Christmas stockings)
Grandma and Grandpa gave Bobo muffin mixes, and he loved making them up himself, and then getting to pick who got to eat them.
The day after Christmas we drove up to see the Peers and that was a lot of fun. Bobo spent his last Sunday in nursery in their ward, which was nice because he really loves that nursery teacher. When we were up there in the fall, she helped all the kids make this tree with leaves, and Bobo has kept his on the fridge ever since. When he found out we were going again, he went and got it so he could pack it and bring it with him because he was looking forward to going to class with that teacher again.
Phew. Made it to the end of the month!
