Christmas eve

we tried to make angels for giving away- instead of cookies this year.

of course we did make some cookies.  here are rob's fun gingerbread ninjas.

happy friends

nevermind the outfit- he is a good helper!

  E visited Santa with friends.

e and I have had fun with this craft.

we found the idea here: http://leafandletterhandmade.blogspot.com/2011/12/no-budget-christmas-decor-popsicle.html 

to keep myself motivated

for the sake of accuracy:

• E had ridden more bike miles than on this graph - with his dad.  recorded here are only the miles I rode with him on my bike.
• the dip (Nov and Dec 2012) was my first winter commuting. we had a break-in to our garage and also I was wimpy.
• I started riding in summer of 2011, but only a little bit- at most was once a week and didn't record those miles.
• the dip July 2013 was a broken ankle.
• goal is for no dip this winter.
