Hello December!

Crazy hair day at school for this one!  Blue hair it is!!!


We hosted the commercial department at Kyle's bank for a Christmas party...it was so much fun!!!!







What shopping with Kathryn and Kaden looks like...LOL!

My fav player is #2!  Another win for Kaden's bball team!

Every Christmas I set this music box out as a decoration...it has a drawer in the bottom.  Kaden LOVES it!  He always wants to play a game where we pass cards back and forth and he stores the cards in the drawer.  I love that he loves this decoration so much.  It was gifted to me from Momma Hope, and I plan to give it to Kaden one day.  

Snuggle bugs

My fav banker zoomed in for my Personal Finance classes...he did awesome sharing financial tips!

We also love playing board games...Monopoly is always a good choice!  

My door at work!  

December is here and already flying by...I truly try to cherish each day this month because it goes by so fast!  My heart just feels so full right now...I have a family that I love so much, a job that I really enjoy, and a God that loves me despite all my flaws...BLESSED!  

Kathryn's Harp Recital






Kathryn with her instructor Claire


Kathryn had her recital on Nov 29th.  She played beautifully and looked beautiful doing it.  I am so incredibly proud of her growth.  She has played now for 7 years, and she continues to wow me with her talent.  She played Ave Maria and Reverie and did great on both pieces.  Kathryn is such a special young lady, and I hope she will always know that!   

Black Friday and Thanksgiving Weekend

Mimosas to help us with Black Friday shopping

This decoration is from my childhood...growing up, we would alternate whose bedroom this would sit in for the holiday season.  My sister has had it for a while, and then my little brother...now I have it and I might keep it forever!  


Kathryn's Annual Christmas Kick Off Party!  They had a blast!!!!





Decorated and Ready for the holidays!


December 1st: Our Elf Buddy is BACK!!!!!  He brought Kathryn, Kaden, and Winston their advent Calendars...the countdown to Christmas is officially on!
