Rounding out 2015 with Holidays and more....

The holidays of 2015 were fun and simple. We staying in snow-less Indiana during a very warm start to our winter. Let's just say that we never got our our heavy winter clothes quite yet...

We have had so many amazing sunrises and sunsets this Fall-Winter. 

We started Family Game Nights which have been all sorts of fun!






Don't be fooled. This is the only white stuff we seen this Winter. And it melted within the day


At least it gave us an excuse to have hot chocolate!

Mama Bears taking their cubs to the movies!


The Little Dinosaur was a hit!

The Flora men all entered a Thanksgiving Day race the morning before stuffing themselves with all the bounties of the holiday. It was a fundraiser for Hemophilia of Indiana. Emmett finished his first Kid's Run, Elias came in 6th overall for the 1 mile, and Daddy finished up the 4 mile well. (Mama of course just cheered everyone on.)

First medal!

Elias making it across. 6th person, 2nd hemo kid, youngest crosser!

Daddy making it home! Second race in a year!


Mommy also ended a very important chapter in her life. After more than 3 decades of dedicating her life, her craft to dance, she finally took her final curtain bow with her friends of Motus Dance Theatre during their production of Maze. It was bittersweet but everyone who has been a big support were there to share in this final experience.
