Mama/daughter day with Mad…

Posted on by

Every so often I like to take off and have a special day with each of my children. As a mama of four it’s easy to sometimes feel like you just get so caught up in day to day life. These lil monsters are my world and I adore our one on one bonding time and reminding each of them just how important they are to me. Lord knows they grow up far faster than I’d like them to.

So today was my little Mad’s day! She picked pizza for lunch and then we went to see the movie Wonder. Such a perfect choice! I loved every minute of our time out. Even if the movie did make me tear up a bit. It reminded me a bit of the little fighter she is and how strong she truly is in being her own little person. Over the years people have attempted to question why she wears boy clothes or try to force “girl toys” on her as a present. Mad is such a unique child. She is strong willed, brilliant, always strives to be her best, and one of the kindest little hearts you’ll ever know. I’m so blessed to be her mama.

Adios 2017

Posted on by

While some are our partying this year away, we opted for our usual way of celebrating New Year’s Eve, at home! We made finger foods which seems to have become a tradition, took silly pictures, Aub had a friend sleep over, & hung out with my parents. Only somehow this year by 10 pm this is where we landed. In bed, with a glass of wine, under a warm blanket, and snuggling with my husband. Honestly, I can’t think of a better way to ring in the New Year. Of course at midnight we will go out in the freezing cold air and see a few fireworks with any of the kiddos that managed to stay awake long enough to see them. Looking forward to a New year of memory building with my family and friends. So many great plans already being made.

Christmas 2017

Posted on by

Woke up early with our three little ladies, my husband, and my parents to see what Santa tucked under the tree for them! Quite possibly my favorite thing about Christmas morning is the genuine excitement children hold opening their gifts. A little later my mother in law came to spend some time with us. And then our son, daughter in law, and grandbabies came over for a fun filled evening. It turned out to be a rather perfect day.

Christmas Eve 2017

Posted on by

This morning while I did a little baking our girls decorated gingerbread houses with my parents. After taking some pictures of our kiddos in front of the Christmas tree with our pups we went to B-Boo & Mac’s for some Christmas fun with family. So many laughs were had. Then we got our littles home and tucked in bed so Santa could bring some goodies for them. I can hardly wait until tomorrow morning!

Polar express & another Christmas performance 

Posted on by

Spent a few hours helping in Bitty’s class for her kindergarten polar express party! It hit me today. I only have four more years of these Christmas parties before all of my babies are in middle and high school. I loved watching all of these precious five and six year olds share a breakfast together before doing their book exchange. And the book exchange, such an adorable moment to watch Bitty’s expression when she realized she got the Polar Express book! I love these priceless moments and that my husband makes it possible for me to not have to miss them. 

This evening was our second Christmas performance of the week, this time for our sweet 3rd grader! We so enjoyed watching her sing and dance her little heart out! Life gets so hectic and busy during the holidays, but it truly is a magical time of year. I just can’t believe how fast these years are flying by!
