Hot Chocolate & Christmas Books

You guys! The sunrise was just so awesome this morning! This was from the stoplight of Monroe & Callaway, right next to the Cracker Barrel entrance road, and it was so beautiful, I rolled down the window and held my arm over as far as possible, to take a photo without getting any of the edges of the car in the photo. And it’s beautiful!

Blanket or Skirt?

Last night, after posting the photo of my Christmas tree wrapped in my new chunky white yarn, Emmie’s old teacher Ms. Q commented that she wanted to do it as well. I had an extra skein at home I thought I might try to return, but I decided to just give it to her instead! So on the ride to school, I told Emmie we needed to look for Ms. Q because we had a surprise for her, and Emmie was like, “I wanna hold Q!” Luckily, she walked into work right as we were getting out of the car, so Emmie ran up to her, and gave her a big hug, and we gave her the yarn for her tree!

Two New Advent Calendars

First off, this is my 600th entry on this blog! I’ve been writing in this space for over a year and a half, and still loving it (except for rare occasions when an entire post disappears), and still so thankful y’all read it so regularly! So thank you!

Our Christmas tree looks so pretty first thing this morning, even with no decorations on it yet! We also moved the strand of lights from over the top of the record player, to the top of this row of four windows, and I’m loving it!

Pigtails on Black Friday

So today is Saturday, but this post is for Black Friday. Some of you may seen my Facebook post about me writing the entire post, and then somehow the entire post disappearing. I was soooo aggravated. But I’m feeling brave, so I’m gonna re-write it today, before writing today’s post….

She loves helping with chores – look how proud of herself she was helping Daddy bring the trash cans back down from the road!

Leopard, Leftovers & Lollipops

My very fashionable toddler specifically requested to wear a hair bow today. So Mommy made sure to pick and outfit and headband to match each other today – pink leopard print with a cream headband! And of course she looks adorable! Poor little thing has a super runny nose though, and is just very congested. But since she didn’t have a fever, we gave her some children’s Claritin (which will hopefully help dry out her nose) and sent her on to school for the day.
