Snapshots of November 2014

Oops just realized my last post was October snapshots and it is mid-December so time for November snapshots!  We had a lot happening in November - don't we always!?  Here are some random highlights...

Shayla finally lost a front tooth (; 

Best friends night out to see another dear friend perform!  

Magic Mountain with friends! 

Girl Scouts Pet Patch day! Meeting the bunnies!

Crazy hair day and Pomegranate picking! 

4h fieldtrip to the school farm to visit the Thanksgiving turkeys! 

Mitchell's preschool harvest craft day... 

With mom!  So blessed to be able to be home to have the flexibility to enjoy all these special days with my kids! 

Seeing our friend perform in the Nutcracker!

The Nutcracker is an annual mom/daughter tradition for us too!  

Kicking off the holiday season!

Christmas Countdown: Dec 7 - Ornament Exchange

Another way I know that Christmas time is upon us is when I participate in my best friend Heather's annual Ladies Social and Ornament Exchange! It has been going on now for about 6 years or so (maybe longer?) and I look forward to going every year. This year her party was this weekend, so I was able to leave Shayla at home with Jon and head out for a day of friendship, fun and food! We had a great time like always and I got a pretty new ornament for the tree! So this is another one of my personal traditions (: Here's to many more years of them!

The beautiful host, Heather, with festive attire

Virginia and Tina - there was a costume for most festive attire and these ladies were in the lead. Tina (with antlers) won because, among other things, she was wearing actual long johns with the butt flap and all!

Heather and I (I forgot it was supposed to be festive attire hence the plain black)

Until next year...
