Lugubrious lengthy list

Here's a partial list of our very eventful December:

• Lisette turned 12
• It snowed
  
• I was called to the Elder's quorum presidency
• I shaved my beard for the first time in almost 10 years
  
• I bought 2 suits and a pair of dress shoes
  
• Lisette had her first band concert; she played her clarinet without squeaking once
  
• We were robbed
• We got new locks
• Our computer died
• Our used replacement computer won't stay on
• I got a new laptop from work
  
• It snowed
• Melinda and I danced to a swanky live jazz band at my work Christmas party
• We went to our ward Christmas party
• We made 2 gingerbread houses at Melinda's family Christmas party
• We ate 2 gingerbread houses in a week
• Miles lost a tooth
• It snowed yet again, (but much less than it does in Maine or Alaska)
  
• I sang in the ward choir Christmas program
  
• Saffy started singing "Halla-lula" around the house
  
• Miles learned how to operate a snowblower
• Ian read "Green Eggs and Ham" (and many other books) to Saffy
• Saffy's catchphrase is no longer " the baby is not happy," but "I won't do it"
• Both Lisette and Melinda have seen 'Twilight' three times
• We've gone to the Clark Planetarium 3 times this month
  
• Saffy and Ethan had a "first date"; they saw "The Tale of Desperaux"
• We still haven't replaced our camera
• We celebrated the 3rd night of Hanukkah by lighting the menorah and eating sufganiyot (jelly filled donuts)
• We've wrapped all our Christmas presents

We're hoping the rest of the month is less eventful. Except for Christmas and New Years, of course.
