December

 Some family friends invited us to go to a Christmas festival.  Santa came in on a fire truck!!  Our two boys are the same age and have a lot of fun together.  Anderson and Ethan even have matching boots!

 With Frosty

With Santa after he got off the firetruck.  He came around to every neighborhood with carols blaring and waving on his firetruck.  They boys were asleep when in happened, and so I am glad they got to see him here.

 So handsome

 Ethan and Mateen took a six-week soccer introduction.

The coaches were great, and Ethan really liked it!

 Here he is making his first goal ever!

 At the Botanical Gardens on Christmas Eve.

 Looking in at the Fairy Houses- this is Nick's stage of life where he always has an apple in his hand.

 We love this annual tradition!

On New Years Eve we went to a place called "Rio" in Gaithersburg, MD.  We went with Isaac's parents and ate at a Mexican food place and then played by the lights and Christmas tree and by the water.
