December 15
Vicki and Lexi both had checkups today. Lexi spent her waiting time hamming it up for me while modeling the fabulous gown, which was big on Vicki and HUGE on her.

Day 348: Daisy Ornament Exchange
December 14
Ellie and her friend Halli are opening their ornaments after a crazy right-left passing game.
Day 347: Breakfast for Dinner
December 13
Pancakes are good any time of the day! Chris was working late, and the girls ate theirs as quickly as I could get them off the griddle, so by the time I was ready to eat, they were finished and I enjoyed a quiet meal with the New Yorker magazine for company.
Day 346: Applesauce-Cinnamon Christmas Ornaments
December 12
I helped Lexi's class with a Christmas craft today. My friend Rachel made this dough (see her picture here) and we helped the kids roll it out and cut out the shapes. It smells amazing, and they will make fabulous ornaments!
Day 345: At Your Service
December 11
Ellie, for some unknown reason, decided to fix Chris and I a "romantic snack" this evening. She gave us each an apple, four saltine crackers, an a slice of sourdough bread. I guess anything can be romantic when there are candles involved.
Day 343: Fall is Almost Over
December 9
But there are still plenty of (slightly blurry) leaves in the street in front of our house.
Day 342: Get Well Soon
December 8
I had the unfortunate privilege of being up all night with the stomach flu. I spent the day lying on the couch watching Netflix and enjoying these get well cards my awesome daughters made for me.
Day 341: We Are Not Fashion Conscious
December 7
This morning Ellie chose to wear capri-length leggings under her skirt, which is nothing new, but she also chose to wear knee-high socks. This combination, along with her choice of shoes, made her legs look, in my opinion, a little like Ben Franklin.
Day 340: Ready for Rain
December 6
These umbrellas hang from the ceiling of the church hall where we hold our monthly Girl Scout Leader meetings. I don't know what their purpose is, or why some of them appear to be full of styrofoam packing peanuts, but they're kind of fun.

Day 339: Joy!
December 5
We finally got our tree up and decorated. This is one of my favorite ornaments.
Day 338: Mushroom
December 4
For some reason, the area around our church's parking lot is especially susceptible to mushrooms. This one is as big as Vicki's head.
Day 337: How to Powerpoint
December 3
My only shot from today, and I have no idea why I took it, is this image of my screen while I was watching a demo video on Powerpoint for my computer class.
Day 336: Zoo Field Trip
December 2
I was able to join Ellie's class on a field trip to the zoo today. I hung out with her and six of her classmates. They've been studying felines, so they were especially excited to see these leopards and share their knowledge with the friendly zookeeper.
