December 2020

As always, there was much fun to be had in December.  

It snowed enough to make a snowman!  We all played in the snow; the dog had just as much fun as the rest of us.

Our elf found a girlfriend.  Brendan was behind the antics of Elfie and Molly.  He did an amazing job!

Crafty early gifts from Aunt Lorna kept them busy while they waited for Christmas Day to arrive.

Christmas Day finally arrived!

Their Uncle Scott visited Tom & Kay's house on December 30, and brought his cute puppy.  The kids wanted to keep the adorable little guy!

Christmas Photo Shoot

 Emily LOVES horses, so when I saw Sumler Farms advertising a Christmas photo shoot with horses, I jumped on it.  Although I didn't get Brendan to dress up beyond wearing jeans (he hates jeans), happily he was persuaded to get in the pictures.  The photos turned out great!

Interview with Santa

I found out that Sam's Club was letting people sign up for their children to have a virtual "interview" with Santa.  Emily was a little shy at first, but Santa was amazing and got her talked.  He even got Brendan to come and say hello.  It was very cute!

3 generations: watching a movie with his Baba and Dad (Dad was taking the photo)

And finally, we were treated to a beautiful Thanksgiving Day sunset

Civil Air Museum

 Emily's Girl Scout troop got to go on a little tour of the Civil Air Museum in Rogers.

October 2020

 Emily's best friend Charley had her birthday party at the Girl Scout horse ranch.  Emily was in heaven!

Emily was reluctant to do this school art project in the style of Van Gogh, but once begun, she had a blast!

Beautiful autumn walk with Rocket

Emily dressed as Evie from Descendants for Halloween, and her friend Charley dressed as Mal from the movie.  We had a little Halloween party with Charley and her brother Reed.

Brendan carved this spooky Jack O'Lantern, while Emily carved a sweet one with hearts for eyes. We received some Jack O'Lantern teeth 3D printed by their Uncle Lee, so Emily carved one just for the teeth, too!

Rocketdog Crafts

After making so many face masks to donate to the schools, and in need of purchasing more supplies, I decided to list some on Etsy to sell in hopes of making a little money towards supplies.  I already had an Etsy shop from years ago, but the name left something to be desired.  Rocketdog Crafts was born and has the cutest spokesmodel you can imagine.  So far, I've only sold a few masks.  Hopefully, I'll be able to sell some more or come up with some other cute things to make and sell on there.
