December!

Let's kick off the holiday month with our new pictures!

Some shots along the way.....

These next two would have been contenders had Mia looked!

Here it is :) So thankful for my mom being our photographer and getting the best smiles, along with this beautiful property we own! 

Some days school is more exciting than others.....

Making biscuits, sausage gravy and eggs for dinner after a history lesson about how people didn't have butter :)

Our annual shot!

Compared to last year ❤

The boys did basketball!

It looked a lot different for Lucas than it did Seth. Not only is Lucas not super sports oriented, nor does he care about winning/losing, he was also with Pre-K and Kindergartners so he wasn't having fun at all as the coaches spent their time regrouping everyone and he ended up not finishing the season.

Seth on the other hand, thrived and even ended up doing actual games!

Speaking of games! Jeremy and I got an invitation of a lifetime!

We came full circle, after having been to a game when we first started dating! 2012 throwback!

I don't know why I took this picture but....why is he so big?!

Mia and I hung out while Daddy took the big kids to grab some Christmas presents! There was, of course, food involved......

Throwback to the game we beat them at 💔💔💔

Some milk, her ear and her "bang-kit" (blanket), she's good to go ❤

Lucas learned about bones and practiced labeling Seth LOL

The boys went to a homeschooling group class 

on making ornaments out of clay!

And my foster care book drive was a success, once again! 

Sarah met up with me to deliver the 

Jefferson county boxes since she is tight with them!

Mia got her first toothbrush!

And then it was CHRISTMAS EVE! 

Our tradition is to stay home, eat charcuterie and watch The Star, get the kids to bed early so Santa can get to work 😉

And to all a good night!!!!!

Stay tuned for CHRISTMAS! 

The rest of November......

Well, I dragged my feet on blogging November and then December chaos rolled in, so here we are playing catch up on the rest of our month after our Unicorn celebration! 

Everyone does their puzzles upside down, 

so you have no picture to see, right? 

We got some snow that they kids were all waiting for!

😂😍

He takes a picture of me EVERY TIME, so - here y'all go! 😂

For my birthday my mom gave me a "coupon" to go clothes shopping with her, so we headed to Plattsburgh for the day to get me some new waredrobe items and found the MOST delicious new lunch spot! 

😂😂😂

Jeremy and I are becoming fancy professionals in our margarita game! 

Cousin snuggles for the birthday buddies - and a few extras ❤

Yoga time.......

"Is this right, Momma?" 

"Ring around the rosie, pocket full of cozies......"

When football is on.......

We had two wonderful Thanksgiving celebrations but the next two pictures are all I have to show for it 😂😂😂 I always sign up for deviled eggs because Lucas would melt without them.....

.......and we made roasted brussel sprouts with bacon and balsamic glaze for the first time (a new favorite that we have already made again since). Found a heart!

Playing with her jewelry kit she got for her birthday! 

And then it was TIME!!!!! 

We decided to put our little artificial tree up in the office this year so that Mia wouldn't be left unattended with it out in the living room. 

She loved it and was very good!

Up next, CHRISTMAS!
