December was another jam-packed month for our little family!
Abigail was super excited this year to start the preparations for the holiday season. Not sure if she thought that the sooner we got all the stuff done, the sooner Santa would arrive! Regardless she was a blast to have around and a really big help!
She LOVED doing cookies again this year. I left her decide on the colors and the decorating - it was a fun result! Yes, my kitchen was a mess and the dogs had sugar and flour on them, but it was so much fun!
Early in the month, the city of Wausau holds their annual Holiday Parade. The super nice thing is that the parade starts from Marathon Park which is super close to the house. We met up with one of Abigail's classmates who lives very nearby and walked over together. With the adults and 3 little girls - it was an adventure but fun. My parents met up with us and we had another classmate and her mom join us. Sure was fun to see the kids together and nice for the parents/moms to get together as well. The girls really enjoyed the parade and were so fun to watch all their faces and reactions!
In the middle of the month, I was able to volunteer in Abigail's classroom while they building Gingerbread Houses!!! I was not sure what to expect since I am not a fan of frosting, but I was pleasantly surprised by how smooth it went. Abigail has a wonderful class of kids - respectful and funny! It was very neat to be able to spend time with her during the weekday and she was so proud that I came in to help her and her classmates.
Basketball continued during December - which is always fun. We enjoy going and watching Matt/Dad and always nice to see my parents there too!
Abigail's elementary school music program put on a holiday/Christmas concert and it was held at Wausau West High School. She was so excited to dress up and perform. We were excited to see her sing the dogs she had been practicing at our house for weeks. She did NOT disappoint - she did great on stage and was so much fun to watch. All of the kids in her school did great - it was a true delight to experience it.
Well - I think that sums up the majority of the month......now onto pictures!
