November FLEW! All of these calendars to remind me that we really were busy this month. The girls had a whole week of GCYA practice! …which me and Michael LOVED because we had a built in date night to get Thai food every night! The best. We became regulars these past few months…they knew our order & that we never wanted the white rice side that came with our mussels.
And then the shows on Friday & Saturday! So fun. So great to watch Sia absolutely come alive on stage. She was so into it & we could all tell she was genuinely enjoying herself:) Noelle & Gwinna had fun too and we were all talking about it for days after :)
I turned 35. Eh.
I taught my Sunday school babies whom I love so much.
I also filled in and led music time for my primary babies who I miss so much!
I undecorated Halloween, which is always a massive undertaking. Slowly, the arch was sad to disassemble because it makes me so happy every time I come home to it!
San Francisco with Michael for his convention, which is always a nice mini reset for me.
My list to shop for in SF:
Anthropologie ✅
Nordstrom- jellycats!!!✅
Lego ✅
Lucky- pants for mj - funny cute woman said “girl you need to bring him here!” She was great. I failed at this one though :/
Old navy ✅
Ghirardelli for my once a year drinking chocolate ✅
Indian food the first night and then Brazilian the next with Cassidy, Tanner and Sammy (their sweetest dog)
Right after SF we had Asher’s party to go to which was, of course, over the top! Goodness. Face painting, build a bears, balloon tying, hot chocolate, amazing desserts, 360 camera dancing…just all of the things. Fun.
I took my girls to Get Air.
Oh and we did our yearly hunt at World Market. Such a great moment when Soph found one! We had nearly given up for the day…only one left in the store & she just turned around and moved some stuff and said “hey guys!” Showing us the golden gnome card in her hand. I laughed and was so giddy for her and even said “oh I’m so happy for you!” And she said “oh wow, we have issues…” hahahaha. Yep. Awesome.
We babysat the Mason.
I took Gwinna on a mini clothes shopping trip since I failed in SF to get her anything lovely (and clothes is the main thing on her Christmas list!) We found these greatest, most perfect Christmas sweaters that we were gasping over because “a sloth! Just perfect for Noelle AND a yorkie, so good for Sia!”
Thanksgiving break was nice. Slow & boring just how I like it:) I heated up some ham & actually made an apple pie from scratch (that was way better the next day) We used fancy dishes from Great Grandma and I think I’ve decided that is just not my thing…at all 🤷♀️ I am a boring human. Oh well. Just how I like it. Me & Soph went to the temple in Fresno together and then on a slow day of shopping after. Time really just went by and we did Chick Fil A and home goods and somehow did not make it home til around 5!!? Sorry husbands🤪 oooops.
Good time though. Knocked over some wrapping paper, laughed about gifting black Santa’s to MJ (Soph feels he needs one 🤷♀️), put so many gnomes in our cart, & spent way too much money on the unnecessary, but fun!:)
Sia made me a duct tape tray for my desserts that I eat while in the tub. Sweet girl.
Crafting with the cat.
Clothing from her ancestors for a school assignment.
Ripley’s with Michael Joe:)
We have started a Monday tradition. Hilmar Cheese for dinner:)
Beginning of wreath craft…kitty must test out all merchandise.
My ring gnome that I painted in Provo. So cute.
I am easily influenced. Bought these online from Michaels because someone else did this display. Hehe. Thought it was cute and Michael thought they were real! Just like this influencers husband 😅
Noelle & Gwinna’s Christmas creations.
Thanksgiving before Thanksgiving:) Celebrated with our parents before Maui. All yum & good moments.
A few Turkey day decors 😛
Putting this picture here for mom. She has asked which cookbooks she’s gotten the girls:)
Soph. Can’t tell her anything. I mentioned a mirror we passed by in TJ MAXX & like, the next day she bought it to make sure I either loved it or didn’t. I loved it. 😄
This funny child. Her hair was crazy as she’s crazily asking me if she could have a pudding…sick in this picture, but good spirits:)
Had Sia set this up for fun. Great Grandma Flo…likes to give us stuff😋
