Lots to catch up on in December. So I am combining a bunch of stuff into one big post. December started out happily for Lubert who got her braces off!! Exciting stuff. No complaints from her and I think she looks beautiful:
Some friends (Brooke, Molly, Denice, Kelli, Zana) and I signed up for a Greek Cooking class. It was so much fun and super delicious. This is Molly's insta pic from that night (if you aren't on instagram, why not??? Courtney, I'm talking to you.)
Tucker and Lucy both had orchestra holiday concerts and Clara had a piano recital. Rob was supposed to film it, but I think he got confused because he filmed our friends kids and not Carla Sue. It's too bad because she was super cute introducing herself. I had to give her some serious stink eye during the recital when she started being squirrely with her friend Josie during other kid's performances.
I went into Anders class and we made snowflakes. Lots of fun but HUGE mess. Good thing his teacher is pretty awesome and pretty chill when it comes to mess.
For years Courtney and I have gotten together to make Christmas goodies. This year, in Court's absence, my dear friend Rose came over and I taught her the magical ways of toffee making. This picture of Rose was texted to Court to tease her, but Courtney knows she is irreplaceable, right?
Rob and the kids have been doing a bit of baking. Rob gave Lucy a cupcake recipe and so far they've made a couple of excellent recipes:
We made it to see the awesome Christmas house:
And winter finally arrived, just in time for a White Christmas (and to prevent us from heading East on I-80 today). Some people were excited about the white stuff. Some were more excited than others (is winter almost over? Please???)
Lucy's concert:

So much! 1. Lucy looks gorgeous. 2. I want to hear Clara's introduction! I can't believe how big she is and I'm in love with the last pic of her in the snow. 3. I'll download instagram tomorrow. I don't know why I've resisted so. I swear it wasn't on purpose. More out of laziness. 4. I CAN'T BELIEVE I MISSED THE CANDYMAKING. First time in five years??? I'm so sad. It will never happen again. It just isn't the same without you. 5. I've never made a snowman and now really, really want to. Sorry about the 80 trip. Now what??
That's more fun than Christmas . . . oh wait, it is Christmas. We are excited to see you very soon.
D.
Lu looks great! Wish I could hear the musicians! Almost wish I were int he snow. Candy looks wonderful. Such a full few weeks!
I love December!! Your treats look divine. I want to reach through the screen and eat them. Yum!
That Christmas house is pretty hard core. I'd love to see their electric bill. Hehe. :)
And your greek cooking class sounds like such fun!! I would love to take an ethnic cooking class and really be able to churn out some of our favorites without having to eat out if we want them.
Many great things. I love your kids and can't believe how grown-up they are.
