Guessing December Weather

Baumgartner Believe It or Not in December . . .

It actually got cold enough to wear winter coats here in SC--below freezing for about 5 nights in a row, daytime high of about 40-45. The twins did NOT love their coats, though we received some compliments from our neighbors about Gracie's coordinated pink-and-zebra outfit (see pic).


Of course, only about a week later, the temps were back up near 70, so we decided to feed some of the neighborhood geese for the first time.


Chance dug into the bread bag, practicing his throwing technique. Unfortunately, the weights of bread and his football differ significantly, leaving him dumbfounded over the miniscule 6-in trajectory of the bread pieces.





A couple of geese drew closer and closer as they tried to nab Chance's bread pieces.







Did you know that a domesticated goose will drool and hiss at someone with food? Gracie is beginning to freak out at said goose in this pic . . . and Mommy decided to leave the bread behind and quickly distract her twins with dirt/sticks/whatever.


CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION! As members of the SC Aquarium, we were invited to the Xmas celebration--Oh my gosh! The free food on this night more than compensates for the yearly membership . . . food from real local caterers and restaurants, free champagne, free wine, free chocolate-dipped strawberries, free sugar cookies to decorate . . . well, Mommy decorated them and handed them to the twins (without Daddy, who was away for work, jugging 19-mo-old twins can be a challenge in certain situations).



Another mommy offered to take a pic of us . . . all dressed in red and eating the sugar cookies!





Gracie's latest pastime: running. Video shows her running laps around the island separating our living room and kitchen (Chance, too, though he's not the big-time enthusiast that she is.)

It looks like "Daddy" has been dressing Grace again.
