The end of November & early December 2021


Heading home from our Thanksgiving Cali trip had her knocked right out. So thankful for her napping skills.

We got home just in time to throw on some fresh clothes and head to Saturday service. 

Life with Lulu is loud - here's a pic to prove it 


Twins!
One highlight of this church is the local community that we see weekly. This sweet sweet girl, was in my 1st grade class, the year after Hannah was born. She was an angel then  and her mom was THAT mom. Oh so cool. Always dropping by with Dunkin & connecting on mom to mom levels. Although social media has kept us connected, seeing her LIVE in person was such a beautiful highlight of the night! 

Thankful for these life size pictures, that fill that weird shelf at the top of our ceiling!

Thankful that Matt was able to take a day off and chaperone Hudson! Thankful that field trips are happening again! They had so much fun! 

Thankful that Harrison made the soccer team. With Matt as the coach I was wondering how it would play out if Harrison got cut! Lol! But all is well and its THE Best having them together for practice each day and although Harrison got hurt game 1, he has made a great recovery and is back on the field.
Thankful for my job. I adore every aspect of it, especially the part of Social Committee. The Committee is just me - but to be the bringer of sweets and party set up? Yes please! And these 3 celebrated a December birthday!
Thankful that I was able to spend the morning walking the kiddos to school and having some park time with littlest love. A dear friend from our church family passed away, and his funeral was midday. The morning together was bliss and the funeral was a beautiful celebration of his godly life. 


Oh and it was spirit week- Candy Cane day. 
Here are the verses I put in our advent. Don't get too impressed- we have only read a handful of them. We are working on that over the next 5 days!

Thankful for the Sensitive Santa event at our Saturday church! This event was geared for Special needs and for Autism Awareness. It was so perfectly thought out. 

Hudson loving Santa and Lulu is like, not a chance big guy.
His bestie and he found Buddy! (Who was THE best. 100% in character!)
And one of his fave teachers!
Hannah and some cute sisters from our gym.

Thankful for our school Christmas Party! Taco trucks and raffles- yes please!
The odds.... my number was 70.  I drew my own number! Winner Winner!
#teacherbudgets 
Lunch date with the trio!
Fellowship Friday at the chapel! (We are on insta too! @Palms_bible_fellowship)
Christmas Carols and Gingerbread houses! 
These nights bring all the feels. 











Ok .... this was THE best surprise ever ever ever..... the same lady who dressed me in a trash bag years ago at the west phoenix conference when we were washing dishes together... and would speak to me in spanish at 3000 miles an hour thinking I could understand her... yes this gem... and her hubby and 3 kiddos came to party & oh what fun we had. Literally she is ageless. So much love to you Vicky!!!
Thankful for a beautiful day, and a beautiful girl to celebrate at dance! Hannah takes hip hop once a week and adores it! They did their 1st mini recital early in December and it was a JOY to watch her. She couldn't stop smiling the whole show and beyond. So presh!
