December

December was a busy month as usual. We went to the tree lighting downtown the first weekend of the month.

Silas had a band performance

We took Layla to see the Nutcracker at PNB

Avery had ankle surgery on his left FHL tendon

He wasn’t a fan of having the iv in his elbow crease


Recovering and getting snuggles from Phoebe

He only needed these a day or two

Ten days later, his wisdom teeth came out (all six of them)!

Layla had a gymnastics workshop

I went to a Christmas cookie exchange

Our friends, the Smiths, visited from Singapore



    

Layla did an arial yoga camp with her friend, Savannah

Layla had a few friends sleepover. They did some self-care and watched the Taylor Swift Eras tour.

Silas broke his finger a few days before Christmas. He did it crab walking.

After a few days he got a splint

Baking cookies!

Nicole came early from Western. It was nice having her a couple extra days.

Christmas

We spent our first Christmas in the new house with the Avery klan. As always, we had a fun time together and enjoyed each other’s company. It’s amazing to see how big all the kids are getting!


Santa!

Love this tradition

Phoebe, enjoying her Christmas present

Telling fortunes

Santa

We went back to Cougar Mountain Zoo to see Santa and his reindeer again. I think everyone had a great time, and I love that Avery continues this tradition with us. Layla had a four-page list to show Santa, and we all enjoyed seeing the animals around the zoo. Glad we got a nice day for it!
 

The birds were a new addition we’d never seen there before
