celebrations

*Blogger's functionality is getting old! So sometimes it loads the pictures correctly and sometimes backwards. It is hard to switch them around, so I am choosing to just leave them backwards!
 


Ryan was decimated this creature! So fun hitting things with a stick I guess!
Whack a shark!
Sophia was skiing, but these 3 worms got together for ice skating. Megan's first time!


Lucy is leery of our electronic pet, Sullivan. Personally, I am very fond of our vacuum!

When Ry finished the instructor said 'You passed with 94%. Do you want to prank your dad? Follow my lead.' So the guy proceeded to tell us that Ryan was nearly in an accident, that he was pretty good, but that he failed at the last intersection. We were trying to be supportive but also super disappointed for Ryan. Then the guy says, 'Nah, just kidding. He did a great job! He passed.'
I was the designated teacher, so I had to go with Ry through everything (Covid restrictions made Dan wait outside!)
Ryan was determined to get his license on his birthday, so in July he started reminding me to get him an appt. Luckily we had all the paperwork and the appointment, so we managed to get him tested.

Not bad for a middle of the night raid! I also blew up gold glowing balloons and threw them into his room before the singing began.

When your birthday falls so close to Christmas, sometimes you get overlooked. So I got up super early 12/27 and went to Wal-Mart to help make Ry's 16th bday awesome!

Alex helped me construct this sewing table. I love it!
Nap time!
Christmas waffles for breakfast.



Look at my lovelies!
Science before Christmas!
With very little sleep, we got up very early Christmas morning to watch the James Webb telescope launch. To date, it is fully functioning and going as planned.

Dan took Ryan to finish his driving hours. I took this lot to Deerfield to walk around and enjoy the lights.

Killin' time on Christmas Eve.



My anniversary gift was tickets to Pentatonix. It was awesome! 
Uncle Mike came for Christmas. He was a good sport and helped me with my holiday puzzle!

For our 20th anniversary I wanted to take the family out to celebrate. The kids love Kobe steakhouse!
