It snowed!

Ben went on his retreat in Neskowin; here’s some flavor:

Meanwhile, Becky took Lucy and Will to their swim lessons. While one was in the pool, the other would be working on penmanship homework.

Ben needed a new headshot.

Our kitchen project got seriously underway, to the point of replacing the entire back wall of our house. And we got new windows, which meant we spent a day with no windows at all.

Will and Lucy got all dolled up and went to the Grove, Mueller & Swank Christmas party!

Our advent calendar, which dates to when Ben was a kid.

Lucy and Will both got giant new LEGO kits for Christmas, and had a great time working on them.

Class Academy had a reindeer visit!

Here’s how they chose to arrive to the free-dress day.

Will’s artwork was featured in the December Authors and Artists assembly!

Lucy volunteered for the caroling choir.

On our way to see The Nutcracker, we stopped for a quick snap at the Keller Fountain.

Will and Lucy had their new bikes fitted at Islabikes.
