December is always a busy month, and this year was no exception. Here’s what we were up to (outside of Christmas and Hawaii).

Santa visit at Cougar Mountain Zoo

We went to the downtown Tree Lighting

Phoebe isn’t a fan of all the construction noise in our house these days

We volunteered to take a family out on Lake Union to see the lighted boats and Santa. It was a very rewarding experience. The family had five children, all about our kids ages & genders + an adorable five-year-old boy.

Avery’s school picture frame is complete!   

Layla had an advent calendar full of spa/pampering things

Silas had a band concert

Kieron is enjoying high school swim team

Sleepovers with Shelby & Savannah

Layla had a “celebrations around the world” day at school

A few more pics from our Santa visit at the zoo. These kids really fill up the sleigh now!

The kids and I played a lot of Life in December
