Goodbye to Another Year
We had a very slow morning around the house – ate some toast & coffee for breakfast, Emmie carried her baby around in her “baby carrier” mermaid backpack, and Addie bounced around for a while.

December 2021
Fabric, FSU & Funfetti
Today we started another long, holiday weekend, with another day off of work and school. We shared cheese bagels & toast with homemade mayhaw jelly (from Aunt Suzanne & Uncle Keith) for breakfast together.
…
Greens & Dumplings
Our second day of school and work this week, and also our last! We have the day off work tomorrow, so we’ll keep the girls home with us, and have ourselves another nice, long holiday weekend. But drop-off this morning went great!
…
Triple Threat & Sliced Bananas
After five days off of school and work, we had to get back in our routine today. Thankfully, everything went smoothly (and only a few minutes late), and we had an easy drop-off. Both girls looked pretty in pink in their new unicorn dresses! 
…
Swingin’ Cowgirl
Growing Room was closed today, so I took the day off work to be with my girls all day. I hadn’t had my favorite egg-in-the-hole breakfast in quite a while, and it was callin’ my name this morning. Emmie said she wanted eggs & toast, but not my kind of eggs & toast. So she had toast with a side of scrambled eggs.
…
Baking in High Heels
We had a great morning at church today – I was on praise team and got to sing some great songs – and then we had family lunch at Dairy Queen afterwards. Emerson wore her new necklace and bracelet from Mommy & Daddy, and brought her new mermaid backpack from Aunt Meggie & Uncle Bo, and she was looking adorable!
…
Christmas Day 2021
Somehow, by a Christmas miracle, we got to sleep in a little bit, and by the time we all got moving, and got Addie fed first, it was almost 8am before we started opening presents!
…
Christmas Eve 2021
This morning, Uncle Keith & Aunt Suzanne hosted our whole family for a Christmas Eve breakfast. It was all super delicious, and we all had a great time together! Grammy & Papa got all five girls these Buccee’s Christmas shirts on their trip last weekend, and we planned for them to wear them together today.
…
White Elephant & Purse Cookies
We had a rough bedtime last night, so I didn’t get to blog, so I’m writing one big giant post tonight to cover both days, with loads of photos.
WEDNESDAY
All five girls were back together again for school drop-off, and happy to see each other on a cold morning!
…
Peanut Butter Cookies
Two of our three triplet cousins were at drop-off this morning (Kensley was having her annual Christmastime Daddy-Daughter day date), but these four girls had a great drop-off!
…
Reindeer & Trains
This morning, Emerson found Sheppy riding a train looking for Baby Jesus. She very sweetly grabbed his little hand and talked to him for a few minutes, before we headed off to school.
…
A Day Full of Festivities
Today has been a full, busy day, and at just after 9pm, I’m already dead tired. We participated in all the festivities today! Keeping this short & sweet, with TONS of photos… We went back to Generations Church (Megan & Bo’s church) again this morning at their invitation, to partake in all the special Christmas activities.
…
Omelets, Cousins, Chores & Quesadillas
It wasn’t pretty, but this ham & cheese with sautéed onions omelet was absolutely delicious this morning!
…
Sweet Potato Fries
Today was the final “dress up day” for Christmas spirit week at school, and it was simply Red & Green day, and we nailed it! Today was also “R” for show & tell for Emmie, and she brought a remote control, and of course had her reindeer ears.
…
Two Nights in a Row
Today was another ballet mini-recital day for Emmie and her friends to dance for a few more classes at school, so she was as thrilled as always to wear her leotard this morning!
…
Charlie Brown
Christmas pajama day at school was adorable! One of Emmie’s little friends was wearing the pants & shirt version of Emmie’s night gown, and they were so excited to see each other and match today.
…
Christmas Cards
Today was supposed to be “tacky Christmas sweater day,” and although we didn’t have tacky sweaters, we did have cute new Christmas penguin outfits!
…
Santa’s Tiny Helper
This week is Christmas dress-up days at school, with a different Christmas-themed outfit every day. We have stuff for Emerson for every day, but Addison is only doing a few of the days… But today was Christmas hat day, so Emmie wore this Santa hat we picked up over the weekend at the Dollar Tree. She looked like Santa’s Tiny Helper!
…
Hay Ride through Bethlehem
It’s one of those nights after a long day, where I’m very tired and it’s very late, so I’m going to attempt to just knock this out super quick tonight. My tiny Santa girl moving the Advent calendar for the day…
…
Ten Galaxies
This morning, Emmie found Sheppy hanging out with her Christmas books, getting some reading done.
