December

At the end of November/beginning of December, my friend Vivian got married. She's one of my friends from high school and is such a great person. I am so happy for her! We also put the "Light the World" tree up again, Lia took some cute selfies, Josh and his friends built all kinds of things in the basement, I got pictures of Megan and Laura doing their Christmas service projects (Nate gave all the kids some money and told them to make someone's life better with it by Christmas--it was their choice what they did with it), I tried renewing one of my family's Christmas traditions from when I was growing up by making manger candy, we picked out our Christmas tree and decorated it, my dad and Dana delivered their Christmas present to us early, I had minor surgery on my toes, and I decided to finally get rid of the beta fish fund jar and accompanying beta fish supplies and the snow globe Lia made for Josh years ago.
