Christmas Fun... Part I

Last Saturday, we took the boys back to Lowe's so they could make their puppies a Christmas gift. The project was a doggie treat dispenser and it was actually one of the most complicated builds we have ever completed. Noah made his for Lady Bug, Eli made his for their other puppy and Lucas made his for his Nana's dogs. (I think...) Merry Christmas pups!

The kids' last day of school was Monday and we were so excited to have them home again. We get the first half of their winter break and their mom gets the second half. It gives all of us extended time but it also makes us miss them even more when they are gone longer than normal. Scott gets a few days off from treatment and I am so happy to have him home and out of treatment. On Monday, we took Grandma with us to pick up Scott from his last treatment and then we headed to a local town for their Christmas in the Park. We have attended their Christmas in the Sky for the last 2 years but had never made it to the park's light show. We were pretty excited and thought it was going to be fantastic...but after inching our way down a winding road for TWO HOURS we weren't sure we wanted to make this an annual tradition. By the time we finally got to the light exhibit...we were ready for some action! Scotty took a nap during our wait while the rest of us sang Christmas songs and critiqued the dancing elves that were spaced along our route. The final light exhibit was amazing, action packed and delightful but not really worth a 2 hour wait...I think we will skip it next year...
