It was a fairly low key December this year. We celebrated Levi’s 15th birthday and he has begun the traditional whine that all my kids will whine, “All my friends are taking driver’s ed, why can’t I?” And I answer with my traditional answer, “Because even though we live in Idaho and the driving age is 14, you do NOT drive a tractor or work on a farm and do not need to be driving a car at 14 or even 15.” They have to wait until all of the non farming states allow drivers ed which is 15.5. He decided he wanted boxing gloves and even though he could still give himself or another brain damage, I opted for the lesser of two evils.

Cade gave Levi his old airpods-but just the airpods-not the charging case. For that, Levi had to wait until Christmas. Cade thought he was pretty clever for coming up with that idea.

We made our traditional Christmas goodies.

Reagan even helped with the peppermint bark this year.

Christmas Eve

Christmas Day

I got an air fryer that we have used almost every day since!

Christmas would apparently not be Christmas without Legos so Rock got each of them a small Lego set too. It’s all about tradition!

Due to damaged shipping, the kids didn’t get their biggest gift this year on Christmas. Instead they got Cue Stick Chalk.

In other words, they got a pool table, that now, thanks to two damaged shippings, they still do not have. Maybe they’ll get their Christmas present by Valentines Day.
