Merry Christmas.

We hope you all had a lovely day!

Timehop Tuesday: Another 12/22 CJ!

Here we go! Auntie Mari holding our 12/22 baby Callie 15 years ago, and her own 12/22 baby Carter now!! 💙💙

We are so excited for a BOY cousin on the Henderson side! And another baby with the CJ initials born on Callie’s birthday is so special!!! We love you, Carter Joseph!! 💙💙💙

Weekend Wrap-Up

Helloooooo!  My wrap-up is delayed after the big birthday yesterday, and we also have some VERY exciting news. The girls have a new cousin!!!!! More to come, but he was born yesterday, on Callie’s birthday. While we were awaiting the news I obsessively made Oreo Balls to keep my mind on something else.

But let me back up to Saturday. The girls had a fun day swimming and making cookies at G-ma’s, and then we did a couple early gifts.

How cool is that blanket and pillows G-ma made for us out of all the Lynx t-shirts and rally towels we got during the finals???

Sunday was the big birthday, and Callie opened her presents before 8am. The girls also did a little sledding.

Callie had 3 friends over for a sleepover, but she still let us do some family photos with the cake.

I think she had a fun day!

Happy Birthday Callie Joy!

Somehow, we have a 15-year-old in our house! 

From this…

…to this in a blink of an eye! 

We love you, Cal! 

(Weekend wrap-up moved to tomorrow!)

A Picture Update

We made it to winter break!!! I barely have my wits about me but here goes:

My school staff did a “secret” staff spirit week the first half of the week, meaning Monday was stocking hat day, Tuesday was vest day, and Wednesday was ugly Christmas sweater day. The kids caught on pretty quick…

Callie was sick most of the week with weird recurring fevers. She looked like this (this was taken today when she was feeling better, and she asked me to take it, but you get the idea).

Dan got free tickets to The Little Mermaid at the Ordway, so Hanna and I had a girls night out to the theater.

Maya and Chris went to Nana’s Christmas party on Wednesday, and look who’s almost as tall as Nana!

Maya and Luna enjoyed the snow dump on Thursday.

And finally, the elves. I think I missed a photo or two, but let’s just say the elves have lost their creativity and passion for crazy things and they just plop in a new spot every morning at 6:29am before children emerge from their rooms…

Have a lovely weekend…we have a big 15th birthday coming up on Sunday…!!!!!!!!!!!!

Timehop Wednesday!

It’s the final week before winter break and my mind is a cave of disaster. 

But, looks like we got Luna 7 years ago today…so here you go!

Weekend Wrap-Up

Hi all! We had a fun and busy weekend. Didn’t even get to making the Oreo balls yet because I had too many other things to do. 

Here are the pics from yesterday…Maya and Luna and a girls outing to see the Nutcracker Ballet! 

And today…more Maya and Luna.

Later we did an early Christmas at Boom’s. There was some flute duets, some presents, and celebrating Callie’s birthday, too! 

Have a good week!
