Golden Tree
Made some egg sandwiches for breakfast today, and this little cutie watched my every move, and even helped me out with a few little things. She was just being so, so sweet!

Winter Wonderland
We did it! We finally made it to Christmas break. After a week of parties, gifts for friends, gifts for teachers, gifts for coworkers, food for work parties, “trinkets” for school stockings, two totally different dress-up week schedules for the two different schools, cooking dinner three times, church one night, packing lunches for me and Addie every day, and a partridge in a pear tree… But we’re here, and I’m off the entire week of Christmas, so hopefully we can have a nice, slow, holiday week together next week.

Beginner Kettlebell
When I went in to wake up the girls this morning, I found Emerson had crawled down into Addison’s bed with her at some point in the night. They were so stinking cute sleeping together, with Addie’s hand slung over on her sister’s face.

Stolen Hours
So weirdly, we don’t have any pictures from today prior to 7pm… Jeff took some of the girls at school drop-off, but somehow they disappeared. Then dinner after work was so quick, we just shoveled it down and moved on. Jeff took the girls to church tonight, while I went to the Dollar Tree to pick up some supplies I need for our work Christmas party tomorrow. Then I baked this box of blondies from Trader Joe’s, also for the office party tomorrow, and washed up a ton of dishes.

Peppermint Tea
Today was “Grinch” day for Emerson, but we didn’t have anything Grinch, so she just went with green. And for Addison it was “dress like a Christmas tree” day, so she also went with a green shirt, topped off with a Christmas tree lights headband!
Stocked up on a giant box of peppermint tea for my personal tea stash at the office, which was a good thing, since they sent us outside for a fire drill at 9:30 am in 37-degree temperatures!
Classic meatloaf, mashed potatoes and green beans for dinner, which felt like another nostalgic nineties meal like last night’s meal. Emmie loved the meatloaf, and Addie loved the green beans. And Jeff, who’s nickname is “Mr. Potato Head,” loved the potatoes of course.
We watched part of “The Christmas Chronicles” on Netflix after dinner, until it was time to get the girls into bed. Pennie wanted to come back and cuddle up tonight, and she spent the whole time laying directly on top of my leg, putting my leg to sleep as well 🤣
We need to fold some laundry and wash some dishes, but I also want to have another mug of hot tea and watch a Christmas movie. So I better get going on my chores, so I can also enjoy some free time!
Nineties Nostalgia
Finally found the second flavor of Harry Potter coffee creamer at Walmart this past weekend, but they only had the sugar-free version of it. But it’s still yummy!

Wrapping all the Way
Today was finally the day of the kids choir Christmas musical play! We started off with a good worship set, and then went into the play, and the kids did such an amazing job, as always!!

Solo Sushi Date
We had a very busy day today! We had cereal for breakfast, then I had to drop off Emmie at church at 9:30 for the Christmas musical dress rehearsal. Then I dropped of some Goodwill donates, and also went inside and was able to thrift a few perfect condition books for Christmas gifts. I picked up our Walmart grocery order, and took everything home to get it all put away. Meanwhile, Jeff took Addie to Urgent Care, because she woke up in the middle of the night not feeling well, saying her ear and throat both hurt, and it still hurt this morning. Her rapid strep test was negative though, and her ear was only slightly red. But they gave us some antibiotics for the ear just in case.

Living Nativity
Love these little girlies, and how warm and cozy they both looked this morning. Look closely, and you can see Emmie had a whole theme going on today – cowgirl pants, with the cowboy grizzly bear shirt, and even cowgirl boot earrings!

Chicken Tortilla Soup
The mornings that I get stuff in the crockpot for dinner are always chaotic (especially when it’s also a hair wash day for me, like today), but it’s always worth it come dinner time! This morning, I started everything in the slow-cooker to make chicken tortilla soup.
