We played another round of Stranger Things Monopoly last night. It was my turn to be the banker, and the game actually went really well! At 11pm, we were all pretty much neck & neck. I ended the game with six properties, six forts (=houses), and almost $500. Much better than the night before! We decided to just call it a draw and quit at 11, since we had to get up super early today, and we were all pretty evenly matched.

So last night, we ended up playing Monopoly until almost midnight. It was so fun! Ryan swept us all away though. You can see below where four of my eight properties were mortgaged, and I still had less than $50 total. And it got even worse after this, when Ryan put hideouts (=hotels) on three of his properties, I landed on the most expensive one, and owed him $1,000! It was at that point, we decided to call it quits.

OK so we’re going to start today’s post with last night’s snack. We were playing games together after getting Emmie to bed, and I wanted to try out one of my new gifts! Jeff got me this silicone popcorn popper bowl thingy – all you do is put in plain kernels, and microwave it for a couple of minutes. The directions said 1/4 to 1/2 cup, so we went with 1/2 cup, so there would be enough for all four of us. But it was clearly too much! But it was really easy and really good, and we can’t wait to use it more!

I loved waking up early in the morning, seeing our beautiful tree, with presents wrapped up all nice & neat underneath. Sheppy even found his way back to the stable last night, to see baby Jesus be born into a manger. (On a much more shallow note – I hate that Emmie’s stocking doesn’t match the rest of ours, so I wanted to get her a new one, and I completely forgot about it until late last night.)

Once again my girl woke up earlier than I would have liked, but that just meant, sweet, quiet, early-morning snuggles and loves with Mommy on the couch.

Precious little Emmie-cille helped pick out her own outfit this morning, hence, cat pants and cat onesie. She also chose to wear two hair bows. The girl’s got style, right?! 😉

Got up early to make the hash brown casserole for Sunday school breakfast, and it went perfect. Getting everyone dressed & out the door and (semi) on-time was another story… It’s a little like a circus when we’re a family of five…

Jeff and the boys got home late last night, after Emerson was already asleep, so she didn’t get to see them until this morning. She actually woke up at 6:30am, so her and I had some good cuddles on the couch together, just the two of us. She was just dying to wake everyone up. I got to to wait until about 7:45, but then she couldn’t wait any longer!

This sweet baby girl woke up a little too early this morning, so while I hopped in the shower, and Daddy wasn’t quite awake yet, Emmie watched a few videos while snuggled up in Mommy’s spot.

Nana will be picking Emerson up from school this afternoon (in order for me to be able to avoid the chaos that is Elf Night on Thomasville Road), so she met us at school first thing this morning to switch cars, since she doesn’t have a car seat in her car. And Emmie was definitely excited to see her Nana!

Today was “tacky Christmas sweater” day at school. And since this is her only Christmas sweater, this is what she wore. I wouldn’t’ say it’s tacky though, in fact, it’s adorable!

One Day in December Read More »
There are Christmas-themed dress-up days every day at school this week. Yesterday was “wear Christmas socks,” but she doesn’t have any, so we skipped it. I did get her these adorable Rudolph jammies at Walmart the other day specifically for this week, though, since she loves jammies and they were only $7, and she’ll still be able to wear them for the next year, since she’s so tiny 😉
…
Look at how precious and angelic she looks with this little pose! I can’t handle her cuteness!

We all woke up pretty early this morning, so we headed out to treat ourselves to breakfast cooked by someone else. We’d never eaten breakfast at Steak ‘n Shake before, but it was yummy, and so inexpensive!

She’s just the happiest little girl! Also, when a dress gets too short, add some leggings underneath and get more life out of it with a “new” cute outfit!

Pretty girl wearing a new dress to school this morning! Uncle Keith & Aunt Suzanne got her this dress, that even came with a matching headband attached! When I put it back on her head at school (it had gotten messed up in the car), she said, “this is a weird headband.” I said, “no it’s not weird, you’re just used to those little clips you’ve been wearing lately.” And she was just like, “oh. okay,” and then ran away to head inside! haha 🙂
