Oh, January! You are always full of surprises.
We had some fun days like our American Girl/Lego Land/Rainforest Cafe excursion...
Grace with Grace!
So excited to use her Christmas money to get the new Girl of the Year, a baker named Grace! Thank you Mimi & Aunt Marilyn!
Such a gentleman...
So much pint-sized cuteness!
(and elephant-sized price tags! We better admire this one from afar.)
Twins!
My kind of Legos!!
Sorted. Contained. By colors. OFF the floor - ha!
My kind of horror-movie nightmare...house of mirrors. Aaaaaaaaah!
Loved celebrating Noonie's birthday...
And hanging out with dear friends during a hometown visit...
I even snuck in a haircut and loved saying goodbye to the ever-growing number of grays...
But then, the dreaded stomach virus hit. And it hit HARD! Lance had it first, but when it hit Grace, it came with a vengeance. Poor baby girl ended up in the ER. I've said it before that throwing up is my kryptonite. Well, I had 32 chances in 12 hours to get over my little phobia. It was not pretty y'all. Seeing the little pumpkin like that was heartbreaking. 4 days later, she was finally on the mend. Thank you God!
So although I love your cozy sweater days, I'm happy to say Sayonara, January!
We're ready for all things pink + red around here!! And Spring SOCCER!
Little snippets I want to remember this month...
Thanksgiving {2014}
From this...
to this in no time flat!
But such a nice time with both my in-laws the Saturday before Thanksgiving and with Noonie and Papa J Thanksgiving Day. Love our family!
Grandparents Day at School
I told the littles to count their blessings because having 4 grandparents (3 who had to take off work to be there) come to Grandparents Day is super special and not to be taken for granted for a second!!
Native Americans Unit
Speaking of school...Little Dancing Fox is as cute as can be! There's something magical about kindergarten year!!
Gobble, Gobble
Our November family project from school was to disguise Tom Turkey...
Hudson picked Santa! And I think he turned out so cute!
Landforms
Grace's home project was to create a landform. She chose a waterfall. We went on a scavenger hunt all over our house to find materials to use. I love the cheerleading pom pom as water - so creative!! Hudson even let us borrow some of his dinosaur pack rocks and palm trees! Fun Fun!!
Makers Fair
The little pumpkin and I escaped one morning and ventured to a fun little makers fair where we found all sorts of fun treasures!
I love, love, love my necklace by Jill Makes!! And we even got matching studs {different vendor - can't remember the name - boo!}. Grace requested we match and I couldn't turn her down!!
Soccer
We wrapped up a super fun soccer season with Hudson scoring a goal the last game {yeah, Hudson!!} and a fun little party at Chuck E. Cheese. Gooooo, Cheetahs!
Book Fairs + Wiggly Teeth
Between grandparents day being held during the book fair and individual class visits, the littles racked up on books! But the biggest discovery was that Hudson has a WIGGLY TOOTH!!! Oh my, how is this even possible??! Won't be long before the Tooth Fairy is paying HIM a visit!!
Home Sweet Home
We replaced the carpet in all 3 bedrooms - hooray!! And in the process, we got rid of LOTS of stuff - woo hoo!!!
Sewing Club
We celebrated another great year of our monthly Sewing Club with a Thanksgiving FEAST! These beautiful ladies are such a blessing in my life! Love you Ashleigh, Emme, Sara, Jamie & Lara!!
Shopping!
And I did a little bit of holiday shopping...shoes...and vintage treasures! ha!
I sure wish I would have brought this one home!!
St. Jude
We finished out the month by walking for St. Jude in honor of our sweet friend Leia and our dear Noonie!
Attempt at a family pic - ha!!
November was so good to us!
Can't believe this year is almost over!!
