Early December Catch Up

 Arlington has been busy working, and we are busy going back and forth between the rental and our house moving things in from our storage unit.  Finley and Cainan are still in the hybrid schooling, and will remain that way at least until the spring.  Lots of running around these days now that we have our house to organize on top of everything else.

This is our ornament this year.  Seems fitting

                   Scooby is not sure what to make of us going back and forth between two houses.

This year the kids wanted Advent Calendars.  Cainan picked Marvel, Arlington Harry Potter, and Finley Pokemon

Mat tore down our old playset at the house.  It is time.  It will be nice to have the yard open

Arlington has also passed her driver's permit!  The Swiss don't drive until age 18, so she did not have the "right of passage" at the age of 16 like other American kids.  She is excited to start to learn to drive.  We figured we would use her winter break from college for her to start to get some practice.  We also bought her a car so that she can have it to take back to school next year.  And there was no way she was driving our two cars.  Just sayin'

We got a lot of snow, and having to plow out the rental and the house wasn't the best, but not terrible.  It looks pretty

Mat started to organize his home office with all of his collectibles.  The amount is enormous.  Here is a taste

Scooby did so many errands with me around town and back and foth between the rental and the house.  He was a trooper.  He actually fell asleep when I turned the heated seat on for him.
