Since starting a blog with my sister, I've sort-of neglected this one. I'm having a hard time deciding if I should continue this one, or just have the new one. You can check that one (click here), as we post more frequently, to see what we've been up to.
The kids and I headed to Walmart in our PJ's before everyone woke up the day before Thanksgiving. I had to get a few fresh produce pieces and while we were there, we checked out the Christmas isle. This standing Santa is a favorite, year after year.
We hosted Thanksgiving this year and Nick's dad, sister, and some of his cousins came over. We had the best time with them.
A couple days later, we met up with Nick's cousins for breakfast, then all headed to the mall.
While at the mall, we were able to check off the visit to Santa. This Santa was a favorite, for sure!
After dropping everyone off at different airports, the kids and I got started on decorating for Christmas. This is the first year that I waited until after Thanksgiving to decorate. We played Christmas music, made a huge mess (much to Nick's dismay!), and got busy. The kids decorated over 90% of it and I didn't rearrange one ornament. I had to do the last foot of the tree, but they loved doing so much this year. I'll just say that it wasn't a favorite to wait.
Sterling waited what seemed like forever to wear this outfit. She wanted to wear it so bad, but I told her that she had to wait until after Thanksgiving. She loves dressing the part of the seasons, it's her favorite!
On the 1st of December, we had an elf visit. The kids were so curious on when he'd show up this year, so they were beyond excited to see he was waiting for them with breakfast ready and gifts. They received Lego Advent calendars and they have been a favorite. Definitely the best idea the elf has had in all the years!
Sterling had a playdate with her friend. We went to Snow-and-Story. It's always a favorite to play in the snow and be pulled super fast on sleds. We're going again this week and are excited to have more friends come alone.
Total life changer right here. This robot vacuum has made my daily floor care so much easier. It took a few days to figure out how to make it work it's best, but now we have a system and a schedule. It's a lifetime favorite!
Sterling wanted her hair cut short, so I cut it for her. It was fine, she loved it, but I didn't. I wanted her hair to have a style to it. When I had my appointment, I had my stylist fix her up while my hair was processing. I LOVE her her. She has always hated her curls, calls them messy, but they are my favorite! Embrace those curls, girl!
We met up with some of our friends last weekend at the national air and space museum, and we had the best time with them. Nick and I have been friends with them since 2006, before any of us had kids, and now we both have 2 kids. It's pretty awesome to have kids the same age.
Sterling went to a ballet class to tryout and she's the newest member of their team. She's so excited because dance is her favorite. She's in her element dancing and we love watching her shine. She'll have a recital in June, the week before we go on our Disney Cruise.
Did I mention I love her hair?!
She's always performing!
We mailed out of Christmas cards. We probably won't receive many this year because with moving so often, each year people don't keep up. Sigh.
We made our annual Christmas cake and this year we have a tree! The kids loved decorating it.
This weekend is my last weekend of class for the semester, so I'll be here finishing my final paper. In January, I'll start my very last class for my master's degree and be done with school forever in May! I can't wait. I'm so tired of school work. Senioritis is in full swing.
Thanks for stopping by.
Have a great weekend!
