December's End and Danica Turns 10!

CHRISTMAS
Our early Christmas with Grandma Carolyn and Dan was our first time at the Gaylord Texan ICE exhibit- pretty cool and a pretty chilly 9 degrees!

One of my favorite Christmas presents- 'Buddy' (the Elf), my robotic vacuum. I'm kinda obsessed, and haven't Swiffered since!

Grandpa Tom and Gram E Jan visited after Christmas and we snuck to the lake for a few days, where even Gramps got to go for a spin!

DANICA TURNED 10!

SCOTT'S SHOTS
To try to remedy the pain in Scott's neck (which is not me!)  he had a procedure called radiofrequency ablation performed. An electrical current is used to heat up an area of nerve tissue, thereby decreasing pain signals to that area temporarily.  Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have done the trick, poor guy. We're starting to see some of the bills submitted to insurance-- redonkulously close to 100K!

This is an xray of his neck during one of the procedures where you can see the fusion (and broken screw) from his surgery 16 years ago and 3 the needles injected above that.

IN THE NEW YEAR
Always fun with some of our best friends, the Harris', playing Minute to Win It Games on New Year's Eve.

We are so excited that the boys good friend Andrew, who has suffered for 3 years with various medical ailments, is getting better!! Here's Sue's Facebook post: 

Our first snow of the year. Surprisingly, school was not cancelled.

ALEX
His first time started the dishwasher. Hope he learned his lesson to not use Dawn again!

For averaging at least 90% on his grades, Alex was inducted into National Junior Honor Society. Linc qualified as well, but didn't want to!

Nilla and Domino enjoyed a beautiful, warm weekend at the lake. We did too!

Dad and Dan represented us well at the Glen Oaks Family Valentine's Dance.
