Jude is keeping the tradition of taking dance from Ms. Lori alive in the Jenkins Family. We were all excited to go to his recital. He did not exactly do a whole lot of dancing, but he sure was cute.

Cam played in her piano recital. She played The Holly and the Ivy and Jingle Bells
I had the Book Fair in December and needed a fun night out after all that hard work. We went to dinner, then I talked Dave into going to see the musical, La La Land. I loved it and I thought the whole time about how much Cam would love it too. I set up a night for Cam and I to go with Jo and Paul and Sydney and Chase. We bought the soundtrack and have been listening to it on repeat.

Dave and I were able to attend the Shafers Annual Ugly Sweater Party. We went for dinner and a few games. I was not up to coming up with new sweaters. We just pulled out our old ones.

Cam had plans with a friend and so we took Seth to go see Star Wars: The Force Awakens. We really liked it. Seth had had some instruction from Lex on the proper way to hold hands with a girl. He wanted to talk about whether the two characters at the end were holding hands properly. Funny kid.

Tristan and Lex drove down on Tuesday and we decided to go create a "White Christmas" for the Barlows and the Haycocks.
A few days later they got us back. They used a lot of cute Christmas decorations.

Since we had taken Cam and Seth to the movies recently, Dave and I decided to have a breakfast date with Lex. We took her to our favorite breakfast spot, Rise and Shine. Mike Boogey, from Big Brother was eating there, so Lex got a selfie with him.
That night we hit up Quiver Point with the cousins to look at Christmas lights. Not nearly as many houses were decorated this year. We checked out the lights on Robindale too. The lights there are choreographed to music.

Seth went over to the Tatums for a sleepover with Jude. When they brought him home Friday morning, we had them stay to help us make Christmas cookies. We made Aunt Crysta's Buttermilk cookies and cornflake wreaths that are dyed green.
That night, we finally gave into Seth and went bowling. He had been asking for a while. The first game was fun, then we were all tired of playing by the middle of the second game.
December was busy as always. With the kids getting older and not feeling well most of the time, it felt a little less magical than usual. I miss their true joy and excitement for the season.
