  • **Hello Monday** {12.28.2020}

    Happy Monday!!…. We are in that weird stage between Christmas and New Years when we don’t know what day it is or what to do… And there are toys everywhere. Ha!Ā  Have you guys taken your Christmas decorations down yet? I usually do that right after New Year’s. It always makes me a little sad, and the house feels a little more empty.Ā  This is me right now… šŸ˜‰ Today I’m sharing what we have been up to up until Christmas Eve night.Ā  The Sunday before Christmas, we had Christmas with Joey’s Mom. This was A right before we left our house. Why does she look so grown up?… šŸ™…

  • **Hello Monday** It’s Christmas week! {12.21.2020}

    Happy Monday! Holy cow… it’s been a while… I apologize, and as most of you know, I’m technologically challenged. My site/theme went down last week. It was corrupted, whatever that means, I tried to fix it myself. That didn’t last very long. Long story short, I was doing live chats, phone calls, emails… trying to get it fixed. It was apparently, not an easy fix. #sigh. I think it’s up and running correctly now. And I’m glad to be back.Ā  So, I’m sharing a lot from last week and our weekend.Ā  We had lots of dress up days at school last week…. Monday was a favorite… It was candy cane…

  • **Christmas Cookie Time** {12.16.2020}

    I always like to make different Christmas cookies for mine and Joey’s work colleagues/friends. This past weekend, I did that. All day…. It always wears me out, but I do love it! And this year, Addison helped me, which made it even more fun.  I’m going to share 3 easy Christmas goodie recipes that you could should do. šŸ˜‰ The first one I’m sharing is super easy. It’s got a little salty and a little sweet.  White Chocolate Covered Ritz Crackers – Ritz crackers (I like to get the Snowflake festive ones. They were a little hard to find this year because 2020.) – Creamy Peanut Butter – Vanilla flavored…

    Happy Monday!!! Wow, our weekend flew by, but that’s okay. We are on the countdown around here. Five days, and we will be off for Christmas break! We are super excited and ready for lots of fun this week.  First, I’m sharing what we did this weekend.  Addison had her dance recital on Saturday. She did so awesome, and we were so proud of her and Adalynn.  Dinner afterwards…. Addison was extremely hyper. Silly girl. We found some lights to see as we drove home.  She was up early and playing with some Melissa & Doug dress-up dolls. We love this set.  We had to do some shopping…. Lowe’s run. …

    Happy Wednesday!! Today, Iā€™m linking up with Shay from MixandMatchMama and Erika from ALittleBitofEverything to talk about our Christmas cards.  Today, I’m sharing our 2020 Christmas cards. But first, I’m going to share our pictures with Santa.  We go visit the best Santa and photographer. They’re always both so patient and so good with the children. We just love going to see them every year.  Addison did so good this year. I remember not so many years ago, she was screaming in his lap or anytime he got near her or even looked at her. She was mesmerized by him this year. And it was so sweet.  So sweet and special.  Here’s our 2020…

    Happy Monday!….. We kicked off our Friday night with one of my faves. #littlesap #joytotheworld #savetheneckforme The Best way to Spread Christmas Cheer is Singing Loud for All to Hear! #elf Saturday night, after we ate dinner, we decided to ride around with some hot chocolate and look at Christmas lights.

Addison did a whole bunch of candy and icing eating. šŸ˜‰  Eating an apple while writing in her journal.  Sammy, the Elf, did some crazy acrobats one night.

  • **North Pole Breakfast** {12.2.2020}

    Monday night for dinner, I planned to have our Elf arrive. This is the first year we have an Elf, so I wanted him to show up in a cute way. I decorated our dining area with garland, balls, and twinkle lights. I sat him on a sled.  We had to name our Elf right away. Addison decided on Sammy after many other crazy choices and a lot of persuading to name it something we could both pronounce and spell. Haha!  Sammy brought her a Gingerbread house to complete together as a family.  I found the plates and Gingerbread House from Michaels.  I made a “North Pole” breakfast for dinner…
