Week #8 {2020}

Sunday - this is what are sitting area and fireplace mantle look like as of now.  Our house always seems to be a work in progress, but I really like these 2 areas.

Bombi likes to watch tv too.

Monday we all worked on clearing out the bridge of all the overgrowth.

It looks so much better.

Have you played Harry Potter's Labyrinth game?  So much fun!

I love how Bombi curls up into a tight ball.

Thursday - look at our forecast!

Bombi didn't want to go out in it, so he curled up and went to sleep.  Not sure how he got his bed to rock back like this though!

The snow didn't last but we had a beautiful sunset.

Christmas Eve {2019}

Christmas Eve started at Gigi's.  Dylan put together Papa Nutt's train set.

Then it was breakfast time.

Ry reading about the birth of Jesus.

Then it was gift/hang out time.

I so enjoyed this time with Juliette before she heads back to the Army.

We got back home and Chris and Ry tossed around the football.  It was 69º and WAY too warm to be Christmas time.

We headed to the Christmas Eve service at church and caught a spectacular sunset on the way home.

Dinner time.... my family loves lasagna on Christmas Eve!

And Bombi loves his bone any day.

Cookies & milk for Santa and carrots for his reindeer!

Week #50 {2019}

Sunday - Any chance Bombi gets, he will squeeze in-between Chris' legs to hopefully get an ear scratch.

Payton went to a friends house for a Christmas Pajama Party.

Dylan is never to old for a good old fashion throw down with dad. And dad will always win!

Monday - We had an awesome weather forecast.

Tuesday - We started out with a little snow & sleet.

But the forecast was still looking good.

We picked up Rylan from school and he showed us his art project.  He made the Santa Cruz screaming hand sticker that Dylan has on the back of his phone.

Always getting kisses from Bombi.

And this was the extent of our snow accumulation. {Yes, seriously.}

Bombi is so broken.

Friday - The Littles made their elf wish lists.  They write them, then we shrink them so Bob can take them to Santa Clause.

Then it was time for the taekwondo awards ceremony. Rylan is officially a skunk belt. That means he has to test (and pass) his permanent black belt within a year, otherwise he loses his rank and will be back to a red belt.

Ms. Grisham got her FIFTH Degree Black Belt!  {And I got my yellow belt.}

Saturday morning coffee with Bombi.

We went to Downtown Columbia {aka, the Dimple of the Universe},

and stopped in Marcy Jo's to get a cinnamon roll {iykyk}.

We stopped by Gigi's.

Then back home to make Gigi's Famous Almond Rocca.  NOW it's officially Christmas time!
