December 2016

Well, it's August 24th and I'm finally finishing up the 2016 posts...better late than never, I guess!

Here are the highlights from December:

  • We went to the West District Craft Fair.  West District is Jay's school.  
  • We went to to Lake Compounce's Holiday Lights.  It was an extremely cold night and Brody did not last too long.  I had to take him home, but Jay, Justin and Grandma Clarke were able to stay awhile longer (though I'm not sure the adults really wanted to!).  
  • Christmas, of course!  Serena and John hosted Christmas dinner this time, but I didn't get many pictures at their house.  
  • We went to the Museum of Natural History in NYC with Grandpa Clarke.

Outtakes from the Christmas Card Picture Session





In our house, hugs usually turn into wrestling. 
Decorating Christmas Cookies


Our Christmas elf, after he pigged out on some cookies.

Putting all the presents under the tree.  Lots of presents because my family sends theirs!
Choosing which cookies to leave for Santa.



Sometimes it's just impossible to get smiles from these two.

The cafeteria was packed!  After a number of unsuccessful attempts, we were successful at getting a table.

Jay loves Hobbes (and I think the feeling is mutual)!
