The last week of the year...Christmas and then quiet. It was a special time with family, celebrating in our new house, which works just as we'd hoped for a large crowd. We are so very blessed.

Since K had to work on Christmas, the kids opened gifts from us and each other on Christmas Eve morning. It was really sweet to see how much effort and thought they put into giving.
We went to the candlelight service at church and then Amy's for dinner. It was a super special evening.

It was a pain, but this girl finally got her permit. When we got in the car after she passed she said, "Thanks for pushing me, Mom." Ha!
Later, all the kids and I went bowling with our foster care agency. Then we spent a couple hours in the Apple store getting my phone fixed after a week and another couple hours fitting horse-riding equipment.

Company-wide training and a general sadness that tax season is just about here.
J's horse show was local so we stopped by to watch her compete. She placed 3rd and qualified for regionals.
I had a lovely dinner out with a couple neighbor ladies...of the three of us, I've been here the longest, a whole five months. :) I'm so thankful to be in our community.

The new R2D2 BopIt has been popular since Christmas.
