Timehop Tuesday

Ok my holiday front pots this year look…a little chaotic.

And a Thanksgiving Timehop.

Weekend Wrap-Up

Oh my goodness, what a weekend!  I can't believe it is already Sunday night.  Thanksgiving Day already feels like a fever dream.  

Yesterday morning we stopped by to say goodbye to Auntie Mari, Uncle Josh and Avery.  Then we went to see the new Hunger Games prequel movie...and I spent a lot of it covering Maya's eyes. But we all survived and she did not appear to be scarred...ha.  

Then we headed to Mitchell's birthday party!  It was a fun, crazy party with lots of kids and tacos and cupcakes and presents!

This morning I took Luna out in the new layer of snow we got last night, and then we all snuggled in for a bit to watch Survivor.  Maya and Luna snuggled, as per usual.

Then it was time for Christmas decorations!!

We met Uncle Dan, Auntie Hanna, Mitchell and Isla at a Christmas tree lot to buy our tree.  Then we all came back to our house for cookie decorating...

...and then tree decorating!

I'll leave you with this lovely sky picture I took as Hanna and I took Luna for a walk late this afternoon.

Happy Birthday Mitchell!!!

Mitchell is FOUR today!!!

We love you, little dude, and had so much fun at your party! 

A Picture Update

Hey all!  Happy Friday!

On Monday the girls dressed up and danced around while we watched Dancing with the Stars and on Tuesday Auntie Mari stopped by while Maya was taking weird i-Pad pictures of Luna.

Then I found these on my phone, so obviously her weird photo hobby continued.

On Wednesday evening there was snuggling.

On Thursday morning I went on a 3.75 mile walk/run and started out when it was pretty dark with just the start of color in the sky, and ending when the sky looked like it was on fire.  It was beautiful. 

Then we headed to Boom's house for Thanksgiving!!  The whole cousin gang was there and it was DELIGHTFUL watching all 5 girls play and have fun together.

We had a little Snapchat fun too.

Callie enjoyed the company of both Avery AND Rocky, and I think the feelings were mutual.

We ate our Thanksgiving meal around 12:15 and it was delicious!  My contribution was Broccoli Corn Casserole and Chris made the mashed potatoes. Boom made ice cream pie for dessert, which Lucy considered plate-licking delicious.

The rest of the afternoon we just hung out and played games.  It was lovely.

All in all, it was a great day!

Today was way calmer. At one point Callie and I went grocery shopping (she wanted Spaghettios) and I made chicken wild rice soup.

Have a good weekend!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I had the best of intentions of going through Thanksgiving over the years to post, but I just didn’t get to it. 

So here is this year’s photo…one I forced the rest of my family to smile for even though I was told “we already have plenty of family pictures.”

Happy Thanksgiving! 

Timehop Tuesday

My first Timehop is Callie wearing the dress I wore to her baptism…13+ years ago!!

And then…Maya playing with the letter beads at Boom’s house the day before Mari’s wedding in 2016 (she was almost 3 years old). Mari set up Avery (almost 15 months old) on a similar position yesterday!

Weekend Wrap-Up

Hey all! We had a nice weekend. Yesterday the big event was Auntie Mari, Uncle Josh, Avery (and Rocky) got to town for the week!!

We had dinner at Boom’s and the cousins got re-acquainted with each other. Avery was tired from a long day of traveling, but she didn’t mind going to Chris. The rest of us…she wasn’t so sure yet.

Today we met Pa for lunch and then they went swimming. I missed getting any good photos, except Maya being a goofball while we waited for our table at Perkins.

Have a good week! I’m looking forward to a couple days off and some fun family time!
