Last, but not least...December!! What a great time we had this month finishing up our year! I had strep and missed our Waymakers party, but other than that it was a wonderful month. Celebrating the birth of our Savior was priority, but we made a lot of fun memories, too.

| Annual Island Christmas party! |
 |
| The next few pictures are of Madison eating Chex mix for the first time. I put Tabasco in it so it's a bit spicy. She made the worst face, chewed it up and kept going back for more! It was so funny watching her eat it and I thought she didn't like it because of the faces she kept making, but she kept wanting more! |
 |
| Poor baby didn't feel good for our visit this week. |
 |
| I like minimal decorations...I've gotten rid of most of them and just put a few things out now. |
 |
| Richard and Betty go to this campground every year. If you decorate your camper, you stay for free and there were a LOT of campers there! We're definitely going to have to bring Madison here next year to see them all. It was way more than what we thought it was going to be. |
 |
| They had a cute setup. |
 |
| Helping Grandma get lunch set up |
 |
| Helping Grandpa and Dad get some work done around the house. She had so much fun climbing up and down this stepladder! |
 |
| Won't be long before childproofing the doors will be necessary. |

| She loves taking walks and Grandma loves taking her! |
 |

| Pretty sure there's someone behind me. |
 |
| Nope...not this year, Santa! |

 |
| Headed out on Sunday the 31st with my New Year's Day dinners. I spent the day Saturday cooking so we could go to church Sunday, get our regular Sunday visit with the baby, deliver all the meals and spend New Year's Day at home. It worked out great! |
 |
| Another fabulous year done with the best guy in the world!! |
 |
| And just look at her New Year's picture...so looking forward to 2024 with this sweet little one! |
