Lil' Dean Fam

Festival of the Trees Hoar Frost Ward Christmas Breakfast Jax's 5th Birthday Shopping with Katie & Erin!  New Year's Eve! 

We had another wonderful Christmas together as a family.  Poor Ryan came down with the flu and was pretty sick in the afternoon but he had a good attitude it about it anyway.  

December was a difficult month in the McNew family but we wanted to keep some normality and continue our tradition of making Christmas Candies.  This year we went to Jess & Cole's new house in Saratoga Springs.  Katie was visiting from China and Colin's parents live in Utah now so we had all of the Deans and McNews who were here gather for the event.  We had a lot of fun and made a lot of sweets.  I'm happy we've continued this tradition, my boys seem to enjoy it and I know Colin loves to eat the goodies!  :) 

Ryan's Christmas Band Concert He's playing French Horn for the second year in a row.  He really enjoys it and usually practices without much grumbling.  The band sounds so good when they play all together.   If you only choose one, watch that last video ;)

 Evan has joined his school choir, Sunrise Singers.  He practices every Wednesday morning before school and this was their first concert.  I got to see it when they performed for the school during the day and again in the evening for the parents.  Colin was at a work Holiday event but his parents were able to attend with us.  The songs were really cute, I can't wait for their spring concert. v
