New Year's Eve

December 2018
We had a fondue New Year's Eve dinner.  We had two kinds of fondue.  One was boiling broth and the other cheese.  We had different meat, veggies and bread.  You can't have fondue without chocolate so for dessert we had chocolate with fruit, marshmallows and cake.



 It was a super cold night so we got all bundled up and blew our horns then went outside to do sparklers to bring on the new year!


Sill's

December 2018
One of the days the kids were home from school for Christmas break, we decided to sleep in then go up to a wonderful breakfast cafe called Sill's.  It is so popular that the line was out the door and we had to wait a long time.  It is so worth it though! Giant pancakes, scones, and biscuits and gravy!


Snow

We didn't have a ton of snow while the kids were on Christmas break but the little that we did have, the kids of course were at the church sledding.

Puzzles

We went a little crazy with the puzzles this year.  We put so many together.  Every night, we would sit around the table and work on it.  The deer one though, was SO hard we finally gave up on it because it was taking so long!
