December in Pictures

We have been learning about Outer Space at home.
Here RJ is with the Space Shuttle he made.

We tried new vegetables, like this Romanesco Cauliflower

We hosted dinner and pajama parties

We played Outside

Our friends Erika and Rich had a cookie swap party; pictured here are Logan and Ethan getting some energy out before eating the cookies!  More pictures from the party are here.

Lance got to see his Steelers play Monday Night Football at Candlestick Park
(too bad the power kept going out and the Steelers lost).
Thanks to John for the tickets! More pictures from the game here.

RJ took his bike for its inaugural spin.  Unfortunately, mommy
and daddy suck at assembly and the pedal fell off.  So his inaugural
spin was interrupted by repairs.  We did eventually make it
all the way to the park though.

During Christmas Week, Lance and I took most of a day without the kids since he was off, RJ's preschool was open (and we were paying for it regardless), and our friend Erika's daycare was open for Logan.  We picked RJ up a little early and took him Ice Skating at Dell Osso Farms for a little while before continuing on to pick up Logan.  He really enjoyed the special time with momma and daddy alone (without Logan).

By the end of the session, he was skating on his own!
More ice skating pictures here.
