Christmas In Texas

Decorating The Tree

This past weekend, Scott and I took the kiddos out to select our Christmas tree. A Frasier Fir, as usual! We attended a birthday party and got home late, so I quickly threw some Christmas cookies in the oven, got the Pandora turned on to Christmas Classics, poured some eggnog and sparkling cider, and we got to work decorating! The boys had so much fun, now that they’re older and getting to enjoy more liberties with hanging the ornaments. We only shattered one....! Goodness. Regardless, they’re only “things,” and we had a fun time together. That’s what counts!

Jack’s 7th Birthday

On Tuesday, we celebrated Jack’s seventh birthday! He had Shipley’s for breakfast, my mom and I brought up McDonald’s for his lunch at school, I brought cupcakes for his class, and he finished the day celebrating at Hopdoddy. It was a fun, yummy day celebrating Jack! Jack is so kind and smart, and truly a friend to everyone. I’m lucky to be his Mommy!

Fall Festival Fun

A few weeks ago, we attended the fall festival at the boys’ school!

Thanksgiving 2019

We stayed in Houston for Thanksgiving this year, and it was very pleasant and low key! I cooked green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, sausage pinwheels, and pumpkin coffee cake. And of course I had two cute kitchen helpers! We watched the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, and Henry was ecstatic to see the real Santa at the end of the parade! He was practically glued to the television. It was a sweet day!
