We are grateful for the water and indoor cozy time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our family traveled to NY to spend Thanksgiving with family.  The kids played in crunchy leaves, hid lego dragons in the trees, explored the field beyond Nana and Grandpa&#8217;s house and we all had a great time eating turkey and pop-overs with family on Thanksgiving.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>December was spent preparing for and celebrating Christmas.  We decorated the tree and gingerbread houses, baked cookies, viewed Christmas lights, wrapped gifts, and enjoyed time with family.  We especially enjoyed trips the movie theater and saw Puss in Boots and Avatar: The Way of Water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hayley started playing club volleyball.  The team had a great time at their first tournament and are learning the sport in leaps and bounds.<\/p>\n\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" scoped>.rbs_gallery_69fb58d48c1efSpinner{\r\n\t\t\t\tmargin:
