Crazy in December

We have been extra busy which comes with this time of year.  It took us several days to get used to our normal schedule of school each day.  The weather has been nice so we enjoyed several days outside playing with the neighborhood kids.

I was able to finish these dresses for the girls:


 
Last Friday Emily's school had a daddy/daughter dance and Joe and Emily had a fun time:
  
After the dance I helped Joe clean out his car because we traded it in for a van!  I didn't think we would ever get one but a great deal came up for us so we took it.  Joe drove this car for over 10 years.  He was a little sad to see it go:
 
We got our van on Saturday:
 On Sunday I broke down and got the girls an elf.  They named her Hannah.  I didn't want the pressure that an elf brings to the house what with the hiding and mischief, but Emily talked about their elf at school so I decided to quit being a fuddy duddy about it : )
 Hannah has been a fun elf so far and has enjoyed playing with the girls toys:
 Monday the weather was so beautiful that we met several friends for ice cream and the park.  They had so much fun being together again:

 
Abigail and Harper were in class together last year and we met them at the pool several times this summer, so they were excited to see each other again:
 Emily helped me mail Christmas cards this week.  This weekend we plan on making some Christmas yummies together.
