Stuard Family: December- Flashback

Nutcracker-

We spent a lovely evening at the ballet. All four kids attend with me. Mitch passed. :) This was Lucy's first time going and she was excited.

At the very end of the night Lucy got very tired and was done taking pictures.

Nativity-

Our Stake's Nativity weekend. Lucy was in LOVE with these angel wings and wanted to keep them. I have to say, they were pretty awesome.

New Glasses-

Lucy picked up some new blue glasses this year. They are very cute. At her last eye appointment it was determined that we need to start patching her eye three hours a day, in hopes of strengthening the other eye. She is such a responsible girl. She reminds me each day that it is time to patch even though she doesn't like the patch and it is not fun for her. I really appreciate her willingness to do this because if she wasn't so willing this would be a huge pain on the daily!

Count down to Christmas-

Lucy brought this home from school as a count down chain to Christmas. Loved it!

Christmas Birds-

Saw these at the store and knew we needed one of each! This is my new favorite video. I love how you can hear each of the kid's laughs in the background.

Cameron's BB-

Cameron tried out and made the 8th grade basketball team. I am so proud of him for doing that. The team was a difficult thing for him. His anxiety made this year and last year a real struggle. He didn't get a lot of playing time and when he did he was so nervous. At one of the last games he got put in for just a few minutes and hit a 3 pointer. I almost cried I was so happy for him.

Ornaments-

I don't seem to have any pictures of our ornaments that the girls and I made for our Stuard family ornament exchange but most of November and December was filled with the making of ornaments. The girls really, really loved it.

Sign-

I decided to make a sign for my parents for Christmas. I might have waited a bit too long to get started and there was a few moments I wasn't sure that I was going to be able to get it done in time but thankfully for Mitch we pulled it off. It turned out really cute.

Miscellaneous-

When learning to write your name, it is always a steep learning curve on where it is appropriate to write such name. It is also hard to blame it on others.
