Let the FUN Begin!!!

We are in full-out holiday mode at our house!

Everyone has 500 things going on ~ parties, plays, practices, meetings, work, etc...

but I am DETERMINED to make time to enjoy it! 

We can always find time to act like a bunch of crazies! ;) 

The children have made a new "tradition" ~ every Saturday night they are staying with Dalton's parents. They have the BEST time! Last Saturday, they got to have peppermint ice cream at 9:30! That's a treat! They LOVE staying over with Sooz and Big and are making memories galore! 

We celebrated Thanksgiving on Sunday night with Dalton's family ~ 

They grew up over night.

Seriously. 

We started our advent lighting and will light one candle each Sunday until Christmas! Sooz started this when MD was 2 and the children look forward to this every year! Jackson got to light the first candle...this was also his first time to light a match. Scary. Let's hope he doesn't light anymore!! ;) 

We were so excited to have Sue-anna, Amos and Razz in town!!!

We can't get enough of her! 

See???

Poor thing can't even play because of all the kisses these two give her! 

I was NOT so much excited about getting up at 5:00 Monday and heading back into the hustle and bustle after my week off ~ but when this was on my desk..my Monday was better!

LOVE this door hanger from a sweet student! PRECIOUS!! I will think of that sweet family each year as I hand him on my door! 

We have dentist appointments, hair cuts, basketball games, a Sunday School party, and a play on the horizon! Should be a fun week!!!
