Getting ready for Brennan's 9th birthday party.
The birthday boy!
Brennan had a combination sports and movie party.
Isla and Ava enjoyed this shopping cart that one of the neighbor kids had brought home from the woods behind Costco...
Pizza!
A little quieter and more civilized in the kitchen.
Besties.
Bonus party activity: leaf raking!
Happy birthday Beanie; we love you so much!!!
Kellan with his preschool friends.
Hunting down a Christmas tree.
Donuts from the cafe!
A birthday visit from Grams and Papa!
Kellan wuz here.
Waiting for Santa to drive by on the firetruck.
Finishing touches.
Morning photo shoot.
Brennan rocked the fun run at school. He finished his 36 laps early and hung out with his friends. Kellan and I were there to mark laps.
Isla also finished early, but continued running like a rockstar and ended up with 42 laps!
A holiday get-together with a few of our high school friends, hosted by our old friend Chas.
A baby party for Cristina!
Snuggles with Teddy.
Cristina working to "Name that Baby"
I think we ended up with some great suggestions!

Family at GG's.
Prepping for the big kitchen paint.
Serenely reading before bed.

Matching jammies!
The boys.
And Ladies.
UVA friends get-together!
Greeting guests upon arrival. Not creepy at all.

Kellan and I manned the reindeer ring toss at Brennan's winter party.
I wore the perfect shirt; total coincidence. Brennan was just as enthused as I was!
Last morning before winter break!
Helping out at Isla's winter party.
Kellan pretty much got to party hop all week.

How do we measure up to Daddy?? Apparently Patrick was my height at age 11!
Flying a drone in the house. (Patrick is being dramatic.)
At the Nutcracker.

Happy New Year!!!
