December 4th was last FIAR field trip of the year; we went to tour the Durham Bulls Athletic Facility. It turned out to be much more informative than I expected and kids were engaged in our docents monologue. After, we took over the patio dining at Mellow Mushroom pizza. The ironic part was when we arrived at parking garage Lance calls us immediately, apparently my car was registered with the garage (since he'd taken it in the past) and it notified his cell and charged his card when we drove in.
December 9th we went on a family Christmas light drive. This year I chose well, no wild Mom chases, the lights were beautiful and conveniently free. We brought along Reindeer Chow to eat along the way, sang songs and devolved into a strange sound making contest on the way home to much laughter.
December 11th Titus promoted to Senior Master Sergeant. He's getting quite the "fruit salad" on his chest. But he's not cool to find time to chill with his goose...
On December 13th Amber and Lance had a date night at the rodeo. They got to see Amiee compete in the drill team and the "cowboy" :-)
Amber and Kimberly made a lot of progress clearing the island in preparation of their Spring garden plans.
Amber worked a lot this month are riding Thor without a bridle and with her riding skirt to keep them both warm.
Titus spent a lot of time doing color guard with CAP at the NC Sporting events.
Of course they boys were busy dancing too, this month at the Jingle Bell Swing.
I found time to spend the day with my old friend Amy too.
Lance was promoted from Quick Lane Manager to Level 1 Tech Apprentice under the Chief mechanic, which of course meant the need for a new box.
After Christmas Jared had is Christmas Party for BAM at Rushhour carting. He had a great time hanging out with Daniel, his wife and beating his co-workers on the track.
Titus and company's Christmas light display reached new levels this year.
We finsihed out the year with dinner with Frank and Mary and fireworks.
That's all till next year!
