Along with Whitney and Kennedy coming to visit, my sister also came to have some pre-Christmas fun. I think our guests leave pretty exhausted. We like to entertain Tullis-style (aka - We can't seem to sit still.)
Emma had perfect attendance for the 1st trimester!
A trip to Zoo Lights is always a must! The lions were particularly active on this evening, which is an added bonus.

We finally got out for our first family ski! It's so fun to be able to ski as a family. Abigail is good for about 2 hours and then her little legs get tired. Hopefully, we will build that endurance by the end of the ski season.
Emma is skiing so well! If she is not in front of me, she is right on my heels (or skis, I should say).
Andy likes to make a fashion statement when we go out for lunch. I'm not even sure what to call this...
The girls sent their letters to Santa in our fireplace.

We went out on a Winter Solstice hike.

another ski day--the girls insisted on ending our day with a ride on the magic carpet by themselves
The girls are so into rock climbing that Santa even brought them their own climbing shoes.
Ugh. This is what happens when a hose on your refrigerator is leaking and drips down into the basement and gets all over your keepsakes from childhood. Sniff, Sniff.
We had things drying out all over.
drip, drip, drip
Each year at the Tullis Christmas party, there is a talent show. This year, the girls finally got the courage to sing Jingle Bell Rock.
As we do every year (for about the past 3 years), we ski in our Santa suits on Christmas day.
This is what happens when you take a 4-year old shopping for wrapping paper on the day after Christmas.
Monopoly games have been happening quite frequently lately.
We had an amazing Christmas and we hope you did, as well. May your 2018 be filled with health, happiness, laughter, and a few welcome surprises along the way. 😉
