December! (3 of 4)

In December, it was finally time to take care of the leaves in our yard.  The kiddos helped.



We also met up with Karen and Benji once again at the Slater Park Winter Wonderland.  The kiddos were excited to see one another ...


... and to check out all the neat decorations.



That weekend, Madeline made French toast, the first time she'd taken responsibility for every step of a dish.  She cracked the eggs and did everything else required to make the batter.


She fired up the stove, dipped the bread in the batter, transferred it, and flipped when appropriate.


She put the finished pieces in the oven to stay warm.


And she enjoyed the fruits of her labor!


After breakfast, we went Christmas tree hunting.




The kiddos were very excited to ride the gator with their tree ...


... and to warm by the fire while the gentleman tied the tree to our car.


That afternoon while Oliver napped, Madeline and I finished bagging the leaves.  She was very proud of her productive day.


And that night, we trimmed the tree.
