Happy New Year!

"France" for dinner.  Bring on 2019!

Christmas In Maine - Part II

Couture Family Christmas at Aunt Cindy's in Newfield.

Looks like Aiden finally caught up to Babchi!  And Bree is well on her way....

Houdini was the name of the game this afternoon.  Who could escape being chained to the chair the fastest?  LOL!

Christmas In Maine - Part I

The kid table.  (Grampy doesn't look thrilled, does he?!)

Thin Ice

Up in Maine for the next of our ongoing Christmas celebrations!

Christmas Morning

Guess these two were "good enough" in Santa's eyes.....

Cozy little unicorn.

Cozy little....moose??

Psyched for their much desired ninja line and accessories.  Aiden's convinced that he's going to train for and be selected for American Ninja Warriors Junior by the time he's 13.  Hahaha!!!

More nerf bullets (to get eaten by the lawn mower.....)

We were so lucky to have Nan & Pop with us over Christmas.  We'll be sad to see them head back home to Oregon tomorrow.  The week sure did go by fast!

Family Yankee Swap

Nan & Pop participated in our family yankee swap this year.  As usual, we exchanged some really awesome homemade gifts from the heart.

Reindeer Cookies for Santa

A Christmas Tradition.

Christmas Eve Hike

Lovely afternoon for a short hike on the Stone Arch Bridge Trail.  Just enough to get some fresh air.

Neighborhood Concert

Treating the neighbors to some band favorites.

Dinner on the Town

Tonight we enjoyed a yummy dinner at one of our favorite places in town - Burton's.

Night Lights - Tower Hill Botanical Garden

We have some special holiday visitors this year!  As a treat, we booked tickets to see the Night Lights at the Botanical Garden ---- in the rain.  :-(  Sadly the tickets were non-refundable, so we made the best of this dreary evening.  (At least it wasn't frigid outside....) Would love to come back another year when it's not so wet.

Thankfully, many of the exhibits were indoors!

Class Holiday Party

Turning Ben into a snowman!

5th Grade Holiday Concert

Loving his low brass this year!

Christmas In the City

Westford Girl Scouts volunteered at Christmas in the City this evening at the Convention Center in Boston.  What a great experience!

When the girls were done sorting toys for tomorrow's event, they were personally thanked by the founder of Christmas in the City, Jake Kennedy.

We can't wait to come back and do it again next year!

Pampering

Little jealous that these girls are getting all glammed up at my favorite nail salon.  Dinner and birthday party sleepover to follow....

Good Report Cards

Get rewarded with treats!

Mason Bee House

Building a Mason Bee House at Cub Scouts.  It'll be fun to see if it attracts bees once spring rolls around.

Annual Neighborhood Gingerbread Party

Tree Trimming
