Gymnastics Awards

This year, Andrew decided to try out gymnastics and he loves it!  Little sister couldn't be left out, so she's taking, too.  They had a sweet little awards ceremony at the end of this year and both are excited to go back in January.  So proud of both of them for trying something new.

Aubrey waiting patiently.

My little gynmasts!

November/December fun!

November brought a fun dinner with work friends for me, a visit to Nashville to be with friends and family, one on one time with our younger two (the teenager is always out with friends), and a fun meeting for me!

Work friends.  Love all of these ladies!

Our cousin, Matthew, owns several snakes and Andrew was enamored!

Friends since the first day of high school (not saying how many years ago that was).  Lunch with Jill.

River Springs Elementary Pancake Breakfast with two of our favorite teachers.

Aubrey and Rick on a date to see the Nutcracker...

...while Andrew and I had our own date to Barnes & Noble and a mexican restaurant.

Meeting the author of Pete the Cat, much loved books in our house!

Halloween/Trunk or Treat

For Halloween this year, I had a bat, a Minecraft Enderman, and a scary 13 year old.  Teenagers!  We had a very fun Trunk or Treat at our church this year, my best friend and I even decorated our trunk the same way!

Davis hard at work.

Beignets!

Boosterthon

It's Boosterthon time again!  While they don't necessarily love the running part, they do like the events leading up to it and afterwards.  It's the last year for a few years, the school is going to try something different next year.

Davis & Andrew's birthday party

Usually we travel for the boys' birthdays since it always falls on a three day weekend, but this year they decided on a joint birthday party at HiWire trampoline park.  Each boy invited 3 friends and Aubrey invited 1.  After the park, we came home for pizza, doughnuts, and a sleepover.  Rick and I were thankful we survived!
