December

 At the beginning of December, we went to see the lights at Sar-Ko-Par Trails Park with Alex.

Ellie was very enthusiastic about celebrating Nori on her birthday.
Ellie and I went skating at Park Place.
We made Christmas cookies.
Ellie fell in gymnastics and got a concussion. It was scary and it made her feel really sick but she was so brave. We had to stay at the hospital for a few hours for observation.
Shopping for Christmas decorations.
Ryan is so interested in Ellie and he is always getting in her space or touching her toys. Luckily, she is patient and kind to him most of the time. She is especially nice about sharing things she knows he will like.
Ellie made us Christmas gifts at preschool. 
Amy and Doug came over with Christmas gifts.
Ellie had her first ice skating performance and she did great!
There was only space for parents to attend so we went to Noni and Papa's afterward to show them the video of Ellie's performance. We were all so proud of her.
We walked to the park with Nori.
We went to see the light show at Deanna Rose and the drive through lights at Longview Lake.
The day after Christmas, we used our new Zoo membership for the first time. 
Over the Christmas break, we went to Shawnee Mission Park and Barnes & Noble.
We had a fun visit at Noni and Papa's and Ellie got to spend the night.
On New Year's Eve, we went to the Wonders of Wildlife Aquarium in Springfield.
