December 2014

As 2014 comes to a close I thought I better post an update of what has been happening this past month. Here is December in a nutshell! Bennett had his 4K Christmas program at school, and Blake had his program at the Elementary School. Unfortunately I was sitting so far away from the stage at Blake's program I wasn't able to get a good picture of him singing songs like- "Silver and Gold," "Hot Chocolate," and "Do You Hear What I Hear?" I did get a picture of Bennett in action at his program. We had unseasonably warm temperatures (40+ degrees) for the month of December. We took full advantage of the warmer temps and made sure to be outside as much as possible. While Randy worked late one Friday night, the kids and I went to the Irvine Park Christmas Village in Chippewa Falls, WI to take a stroll through the park and look at the lights and displays. The kids thought the lights were beautiful, and Marlee loved "knocking" on all of the doors of the little Christmas village buildings. We spent Christmas in Alexandria, MN with Grandma and Grandpa Gronos before they head to sunny and warm Arizona for 4 months! Jessi and Tom and their kiddos, Sophie (8) and Adam (5.5) were there too. Unfortunately Erik, Jen and Grady (8) were not able to make it at the last minute due to illness. We sure missed them! Here are some pictures from our days spent in Alexandria. 2014 has been an AMAZING year with so much to be thankful for! We wish you and your family the best in 2015!
