December 2017 catch-up -- activities

So much fun in December!  And some not-so fun moments as well....

horse lesson continued through the winter (brrr)

Bunny on Porter

We took care of the neighbor's ducks while
she was on vacation.

A favorite holiday tradition is "Christmas Fairy
Box" where the lovely and talented Christmas
Fairy leaves treats for the kids each evening.

I always try to carve out time for coffee
with a good friend!!!  :o) :o)

lots of cookie baking...at least until the flu
hit our home in mid-December

We were all sick to varying degrees.  Poor little
Celeste had a febrile seizure during Christmas
Play practice at the church, and she had a nice
little ambulance ride to the ER....
(She is fine and luckily did not have another seizure.)

We were all mostly healthy again for Mariposa's
end-of-December birthday (11 years old!).
