December Part 1 ~


Happy December!

Our first time doing an exit game advent calendar!

The tree is in!

This girl TORE UP some chicken legs and it was adorable to watch 😅

"Watching makeup" on their "phone" with their "kids" 😅

Lucas has been learning about energy in Science! 

Branches dropped & settled.....

😅😅😅

Seth got to do the star since it's probably the last year he will fit on Daddy's shoulders!

She ran out of her room every morning to come check on everything!

I've never hated snow so much as I do this year.....😑

Time for the rest of the house & getting holiday books out for the kids!

The joy this brings is unmatched!!!

Tried cottage cheese on my quesadilla instead of sour cream, so good!

❤❤❤

Neighborhood Christmas party!

Literally the kids first "santa" experience 😅

We had a "believer" for a hot second because she told him she wanted a unicorn and then she opened this! LOL

Exit game silliness 😅

Make 2 dozen eggs for dinner.....

.....get 11 burritos to throw in the freezer with leftovers!

We got the kids McD's grinch meals - 4 for the price of 1 😎

Introducing bagel pizzas!

Lucas had a run-in with a toy that literally broke his tooth 💥😳

We have an amazing dentist, though!

Someone's growing his hair out.......

Doing class.......

.......after our deer incident I shared about in November, insurance totaling the van and making all the hard decisions, we found ourselves here one lovely Saturday morning!

On one hand it ended well.......

.......on the other hand, as I write this on January 16th, we don't currently have said van 😜😭 Hopefully when I do our January post, I'll have wonderful news LOL 

😄😇🏈💤

More exit game fun!

😂😂😂

Lucas is just the cutest! Well, his snowman is anyways 😅

Seth had another basketball game thrown on the schedule! Our friend Miss Erin came and brought Kylie's twin, Casey! 
They even wore the same color ❤

The team hadn't been together since before Thanksgiving 
and they played their BEST!

Got cookies ready for cookie day!

Mia's remix on Daddy & Mommy's song (no-one will probably get this, but it's a memory for us to have anyways) ❤

Cookie day!

(He might kill me) 😁😋😍

We had THREE eagles come!

I can barely get a picture of the boys most days, let alone this gem!

Playing a game with her baby 😍

Lucas made a manger scene with his circuit board!

Our favorite meal of the whole year! Our Christmas Eve tradition is charcuterie, The Star movie & early to bed for Santa to get to work.......

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Seth realizing that it's Coke 😅

Lipstick for Kylie 💋

The many faces of Mia.......

Their gifts to each other 💕

Kylie has been begging to watch Wicked, so even though she hasn't yet, these were the perfect find for Mia to get her!

Boys' turn! ❤

😍😍😍

He was so confused by this gift, but it's one of those things Daddy walked by and said "Oh yeah - this is totally Lucas!"

Daddy's turn!

I had to keep all of these pictures because of Lucas' face.......

Mommy's turn!

Saved the best for each kid for last.......

New makeup!

His big camera!

& the grande finale gift.......😍🥳


Stay tuned for part two.......
