December Fun

December is always full of lots of fun family activities. This year we stayed in Texas to spend the holiday with all the Kofords. Everyone came into town for a while, so Russell had lots of time with Aunts and Uncles!

We got to visit with Santa!

And see some of his reindeer

Checked out lots of Christmas lights

Russell introduced everyone to the joy of 

playing trains and building fun tracks

Russell got lots of cuddles!

We hosted a gingerbread building party at our house 

one night for the family:

Our creations all turned out great... Russell asked to eat them for days!

Zoey and Russell partied together a bunch!

Russell helped us sing 'Mr. Grinch' for the family karaoke night

Russell was a great backup dancer!

After a lunch at 'Hugs Cafe,' Russell scored some free

toys from the Star Wars store by being cute

Traditional Koford family selfie 

We went to look at a cool collection of nativities... Russell liked the car one!

Watched a live nativity and Russell sang along to Silent Night proudly!

Russell got to open a Christmas book every night. 

We read lots and lots of fun books!

The few times it was actually cold we put on a fire and roasted

marshmallows to enjoy!

Bath tub Santa

Russell got to see his first Star Wars movie in theaters...

he did pretty good considering it was long and there was no singing!

December weather was so mild we got to spend lots of time 

playing outside!!
