Saint Nick came last week! Someone (named Heff) remembered, thank goodness. The girls were super excited and consumed all 92 lifesavers that same day (little silver and white mice wrappers all over the house!) Tessa's came under her little hot pink John Deere socks since she doesn't have boots yet :) December is already going by too fast but trying to squeeze in old and new family traditions where we can!

last family dinner with the Thankful Tree before it comes down and Chrismas cards go up!! Send us your cards - we love looking at all the families cute pictures in December and keep them in a box from each year. I bet the girls will love looking at the old ones in 10 years :)

and we went to PLAY one night for a PJ party - the girls snooped out these Hello Kitty flannel PJ's I got them for CHRISTMAS in a Target bag hidden in my room! They came down all dressed in them, even JJ and I said "What!? those were for Christmas!" and Francie goes "Well you didn't hide them very well."

My sidekick Tessa and I hard at work with a Candy Cane Almond Milk Latte. cozy cozy.

and Jannie and Grampa/Back-a-wa SPOILED the girls one night with their Christmas present early! A Playmobile vintage but working great TRAIN SET. Thanks J and G!!
