November










I turned … another year older & took myself (all by myself!) to Vintage Market Christmas reveal day! ‘Twas perfect. Just happened to fall right on my birthday. So peaceful & needed. 

Our very short-lived Turkey day decor. 

Noelle. Always creating ❤💛




The point in time that my house gets confused.
Me & Soph took another recharge day together this month. Fresno temple, Chick Fil A & of course, Home Goods (for that amazing gnome!)

Daddy-daughters date

So much fun to sit and watch this all the way through with a live orchestra! PERFECT transition from Halloween to Christmas season!

The girls made these with Great Grammy

Filming his next The (law) Office episode 😂







These girls. So much fun to watch their final performances! 



Just…💙💙💙

💛

Noelle, Gwinna, Sia ornament picks

Noelle loves her kitty




Hilmar Cheese girlie date;)

Family date. Michael had never seen Coco all the way through! 

One Sunday I let the girls … well…Sia did my body painting, Noelle did my nails and Gwinna did my face 😝

We stayed cozy while Brett put up our arches and lights!!!!!


I keep telling myself no more shopping! It really is a “crazy driver!” Time right now but…Hobby Lobby for ornaments. MJ, Gwinna, Noelle 😂, & Sia. I’ve already gotten too many for myself! 

Found this video :) 



Thanksgiving dia. So nice. Uncle Don made a bunch of sides and we brought ham & pumpkin pie. Yum. 

Day after Thanksgiving I still wanted apple pie so the girls helped me:) 

😎😄 Sia making snowflakes

Sia & Santa

Sia helped me decorate the Harry Potter tree & it is the BEST version yet. She did all of it, pretty much!


Love my gnomies 

Family date to the mall. Michael needed a new suit & a mall massage while me and girlies shopped?! 
We need to stop this…

I did not get a picture of them decorating their trees this year because they wanted to surprise me.
 Animal tree and then all of the rest:) So good!

Me & Gwinna had a mini day date. Ortho appt that only took 17 minutes so we got lunch and stopped in 5 Below…and I have problems because I could not resist!!!

Other happenings:
We also watched WISH the day after Thanksgiving in theaters. Only one other individual in there. I loved it! I thought it had such great music, it was wholesome, the bad guy wasn’t too crazy, such fun side characters, dancing chickens were hilarious, & it was not a typical love story…more about the love of our community families and whole families. So interesting & surprising when Michael leaned over to me at the end and said he did not like it all! Completely opposite opinions 😆

Asher’s 2nd birthday party. For some reason I thought it was going to be more low-key 😂😂😂
I didnt’ really take pictures but wow balloons everywhere, enlarged pictures of Asher, 360 camera deal, face painting, take home goodie boxes…a full on dinner served at Great American Grill. Wow. Just wow. 

We did some major purging and I am so proud of the girls. They were able to make decisions on a ton of their stuff. We did it all. Slowly. Clothes, stuffed animals, toys in bins, bigger things around the room & worst of all bathroom stuff….
