December Fun

After Thanksgiving we had fun spending time together and getting ready for Christmas.

It snowed once and the kids took advantage of it and went sledding in our backyard.

Then the warmer temperatures came back and we enjoyed a spontaneous trip to the Creamery after school with friends.

We've all been enjoying Disney+ since it came out last month, and on our very first television (yes, finally after 11 years of marriage) :). In the past we mostly rented movies from the library, which also proved difficult as not all of the discs had a Spanish audio track. As a result, our kids only recently seen many Disney movies for the first time, thanks to Disney+ offering most titles in Spanish. Like here they're watching Beauty and the Beast for the first time.

Violet was scared of the Beast, hence her dog.

Violet and Ginger kept reenacting the scene where Belle walks down the stairs in her gown to the dance floor. They wrapped themselves in blankets and did the same. Violet insisted this was her princess smile.

And of course there's the usual romping in the leaves.

Violet likes to read outside the car while waiting for Jaxon to come out of school.

And we loved decorating for Christmas!
