Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
Last weekend we saw the big man in red and put in our wish list! Well, no one actually put in a wish list because no one has anything they’re actually asking for. Don’t worry though, Santa always has surprises in his bag!! It was a fun night at the club!
Hope we’re all on the nice list!!
Ho Ho Ho!
It was a beautiful day last weekend for the annual Christmas Parade! Spencer marched in it with the Scouts and threw out candy…
While Samantha was off sinking baskets in her basketball games, Maxwell and Jude caught lots of candy – and waved to Santa!
Love all the Christmas traditions around here!
Last weekend was the first weekend of December and a rainy, dreary Saturday…what better way to brighten it up than doing the candy house!! My favorite tradition!
I went to go workout and left it all out and when I came home, Maxwell had iced the whole thing himself!! Well, maybe a little help from Samantha but, wow. I was so impressed! They truly did this candy house all on their own!
Best one yet? For sure!!

I wish I could tell him all about my new fake Christmas tree and how good it looks. I wish I could tell him about the fun surprises we have planned for our trip to Paris. I wish I could tell him how Maxwell is ending his first semester at the Junior High with straight A’s. I wish I could tell him how miserable wrestling is even though Maxwell is pretty good at it. I wish I could tell him about Spencer making it into the spelling bee and how confident he was up on stage. I wish I could tell him how Spencer made a buzzer beater 3 pointer to send his game into overtime. I wish I could tell him how Samantha got picked to get extra challenging math quizzes because she knows all the concepts so well. I wish I could tell him she did two perfect standing backhandsprings in a row. I wish I could tell him that I make the kids listen to “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year” by Andy Williams even though they’d rather hear “All I want for Christmas is You” by Mariah. I wish I could tell him Happy Birthday.
Even though I can’t tell him all these things, somehow I think he knows. Happy Birthday Daddy. We miss you.
On Saturday night I planned a fun Christmas Kick-off dinner for the cutest group of 3rd grade girls up at MBC! Samantha and I put on our holiday sparkles and were ready for a fun night!
The girls were so excited and giggly all night long!
Each girl brought a gift and we did a little “Left Right” Frosty game to exchange gifts. It was perfect!
It was such a great night and I hope we make this a tradition!
Merry merry!
