December is Here!

Eleanor and Henry welcomed in December getting back into the school routine after a fun Thanksgiving break. Henry’s bottom tooth came out, bringing his total to 6. We also got our school pictures in this week, and both Henry and Eleanor had very nice portraits.

On Friday, we gathered a group of school friends and headed over to ride on the CTA Santa Train. The kids were all pretty excited for the train ride, although it was pretty full so we really had to pack in to make it on. On Saturday, Henry had his first basketball game of the new season. It went well but was quite a change for him as they are now playing man to man defense, and stealing on the pass is now allowed. Eleanor had her first soccer game of the new season – she is playing in a dome this season which was neat to see. On Sunday we went down to the Chriskindlemart for some hot coco and shopping.
