The Holiday Season Has Begun!

Oh man.... How did November fly by so fast? We're in the last week and I still feel like we JUST celebrated Halloween! 

This month we have successfully written our letters to Santa (that's a MUST-do before Black-Friday sales!) and decorated the whole house!  We went to Louisiana for Thanksgiving and I wanted to come home to "Christmas" so we decorated it a couple days before we left :)  And man, it was SO great to come home to. 

We also had a SNOW DAY!!!!!! It snowed a lot (for Oklahoma) and the kids played in it all day! It was perfect wet, heavy snow so we were able to make 3 snowmen!  It was GLORIOUS!  

We welcomed Emmalee into the world from afar; she might be all the way in Idaho but we still celebrated her birth!

Lucy had her "Showcase" (which was the equivalent to a dance recital, only it was for Cheer).  All the cheerleaders through the 7th grade performed.

There was Donuts For Daddy's so Shawn went and had breakfast at school with the girls.

We had a 3 day weekend and spent a whole day at a really cool park.

Lucy also had her "end-of-the-year" Cheer Party at a Skating Rink, so Cheer is OFFICIALLY over until next year! (YESSSSSSS!)

I went to a Kindergarten Thanksgiving Feast/Performance and it was so cute!  I was proud of my little Turkey, even if she was a little shy about performing in front of me!

And most recently, we celebrated Thanksgiving. This year at Thanksgiving, I was BEYOND homesick.  It was kind of a bummer year for me, not gonna lie.  I missed my family more than anything.  That's all I'll say about that.  I hope some year soon we get the chance to be with MY side of the family for Thanksgiving.  Because I just need that :(

We did, however, get some family pictures taken while we were in Louisiana and I think/hope they are gonna be cute, so hopefully I'll get to see those soon...

And now we gear up for December! I'm gonna take a deep breath, and then I'm gonna let the good times roll!

 

I hope everyone has a wonderful December full of all things happy!
