More pictures that didn't make their own post...
My son joined a basketball team for some winter hoops action. He loved it a lot.
We celebrated our daughter's patron saint feast day with a special St. Lucy's bread! It's a tradition in Sweden to have a special bread that is brought out by the eldest daughter, who wears a crown with candles. We have a special low-hazard version of the crown that we use.
The cub scout pack did an impromptu food drive where we gather 85 pounds of food to donate to a local food bank. I volunteered to drop off the donation so I got a picture of them weighing the amount.
Savage Mills's Twelve Days of Christmas included one where visitors could make ornaments. We went to our favorite game store and made one from a Magic: The Gathering card.
Later, we went to a "reindeer games" night with gigantic-sized versions of games. We played Rhino Hero, a game where players build a card house with a rhino occasionally climbing up. Whoever knocks it down loses. My brother was in town and played along.
My brother and his girlfriend were in town for Christmas and helped decorate cookies.
We had a great Christmas and even remembered to take a few pictures.
The Sunday after Christmas, we caught our preschooler being a prescholar and reading the newspaper!
I volunteered at the final regular season game for the Baltimore Ravens. They won the game, clinching the AFC North title.
