Team Tully
December 2017
Our 3rd (or 4th?) annual Tully Train Christmas Edition "train" ride through the neighborhood to see all of the Christmas lights. A fan favorite experience !
The train heads back to the station for hot chocolate and ornament making :-)
The holiday season brings out my breakfast creativity. Lucky kid!
Winter hikes with this crazy canine!
Fruit and Vegetable cookie making with B!
This is how pretty much every evening ended during our winter break! Busy boys!
Luke headed to Ima and Sheshy's for a few days! He loved every second and was full of stories and excitement about all the fishing and golfing and sewing and baking and exploring and museum time. Again....LUCKY KID!
Ima's apprentice
Meanwhile....we enjoyed our time in a much quieter house! We were equal parts lazy and productive. We stayed busy being little Christmas elves!
Reunited just in time for our annual family gingerbread house extravaganza!
Down time with neighbors
The twins came to spend the evening with us! Tully Train round two and a candy cane hunt were some of the evening's highlights!
The hunt is on!
A gift exchange with a twist...so fun!
Sunday golfing at the neighborhood park! Yes, shorts in December.
Our Christmas Eve tradition...Brunch with our wonderful neighbors Ben and Maryann. We just love this duo, full of stories and life experiences. What a wonderful couple and we are thankful for their friendship!
A Christmas Eve present for Luke...The Last Jedi with Daddy!
Prepping for the Big Guy! Notice how Jasper is "helping" :-)
Christmas morning at the Tully house! Quiet and slow. Perfect!
Our big family gift....a new piano! I am up to two songs, Luke is at two songs, and L is working hard at the Charlie Brown theme.
We are so thankful for all of the paths we have crossed over the years! Christmas cards are always a wonderful reminder of where you have been and where you are.
A wonderful day!!!
The day after Christmas we headed to GA to spend the day with our favorite family of 5! Oh how we love these people. They always have open arms and open hearts and we so enjoyed our TIME together! J = 14 N=13 M=8 L=8
Gingerbread house competition! J and N made a beautiful house that could have been in a bakery window.
Luke and M made a house that could only be in their window! Ha!!! It was hilarious!
Yum!
Look at all that sugar!!
Me and E. Love!
More random play...there is another friend inside that box. Creative minds!
Trampoline park with our buddies!
Daney and James hosted Christmas in their new home at the end of December! It was a wonderful weekend full of family and fun! We had an awesome time and the kids loved being together! It was a full weekend of laughter and love!
Celebrating Aunt Daney's birthday!
Sunrise on the lake! Ahhhh, the lake life :-)
One of the favorite gifts, zig zag droplets. Mesmerized!

We came home from Daney and James' and got settled and unpacked and spent the rest of the frigid day setting up our new backyard addition (thanks to D and J), tetherball!
We are wishing you all a new year full of health and happiness! As always we resolve to be present, to wander, to wonder, and to give.
