Toys, Daddy, and Engagements

Once again, another week has flown by, and I wonder where the time went. The best news I have to share is that my friend, Julie and her boyfriend, Casey, got engaged on Friday! They have been dating for over 8 years, so it's about time!! I'm very, very happy for them, and can't wait to see what wild and crazy wedding/reception they will have.

Ava did great at daycare this week - there is a new little baby boy there, so she is no longer the baby of the group. Ava didn't show any sign of jealousy - she's so easy going when it comes to other kids, but you never know how each person might react.

She still doesn't have teeth, but I don't think she'll be toothless forever. I'm sure they're in there - somewhere! For now, we should be thankful that 1. she can't bite us, and 2. we don't have to brush any teeth. Plus, the gummy smile is still pretty darn cute.

Ava and I were playing with her toys in her bedroom, and as you can see by the last photo, I think she was done having her picture taken.

Here's Scott's attempt at a self-portrait with him and Ava. I think I need to start doing more of these so Ava doesn't only have pictures of her and Daddy!

Tonight we're taking Grandpa Bruce out for his birthday, but other than that, we're going to take it easy today. I wish every day was Sunday!

Enjoy the teething-free days while you can... Dylan has been miserable. :( And I love Ava's lavendar hoodie! She's such a cutie!

Snuggly Warm

It's the time of year to be cozy, so there's nothing better than sitting in front of a warm fire, reading a good book/watching a good show, and enjoying the glow of the Christmas tree. Even Pria thinks so! Pria was avoiding the vacuum earlier this week...she loves to be on Ava's bed! Getting cozy inside of a little fortress After a fairly busy week at school, work, and extracurricular activities, we all enjoyed a night at home on Friday. G and I built gingerbread houses (they both look a little sad, but we had fun), and then we all played Tractoropoly for a few hours. Turns out that G was stockpiling money, so we need to figure out his secret on how to save! Love Ava's face and hand placement here And we can't forget all of the treats that George brought this week! Sunday, December 10 "Can you get a bullseye?" Monday, December 11 "I'm brining Christmas Cheer, by singing loud for everyone to hear!" Tuesday, December 12 "Don't be the o

Barbie & George

We had a fun week to wrap up November. Last Saturday, Scott and I enjoyed a nice dinner out, and then a spontaneous trip to Home Depot...and we got some new exterior Christmas décor! But more important was the time spent together. Plus, it started to snow, so the view from the restaurant was beautiful (but the drive home was a little sketchy.) On Tuesday night, Ava and I headed out to the Mall of America to experience the Malibu Barbie Café. We had a blast exploring the area, eating the yummy food, and then shopping for a bit. It was a wonderful night evening spent together. Even the drinks were pretty! My Avocado Toast & salad Ava's Paradise Pancakes On Friday night, my book club gathered for our holiday party and it was a blast! We had such a good time chatting, eating, drinking, and finished off the night with a book exchange. I cherish and deeply appreciate the friendships that have developed with my neighbors because of this book club. And to really kick off the holiday se

Last Week of School & Work 2023!

We just wrapped up the final school and work (for Dee) week of 2023! The kids both had spirit week/dress up days this past week, and there were fun parties for G, and a holiday assembly for Ava. Kirk Cousins (Vikings QB) was the surprise guest speaker at RHS this week. Ava doesn't really follow football, so when she texted me a few pics during the assembly, she said "The one guy is here. Football" Hahahaha! She mentioned she heard a rumor that SpongeBob was going to be there, but alas, just a pro football player. What a neat surprise for the kids (except for Ava, lol) I had a few fun events this past week, as well. We had a happy hour/celebration for a completed project at work on Tuesday night, and then my neighbors/book club headed out to the local winery for a cookie decorating event on Thursday evening. I'm happy we don't have a full calendar next week! Swimming was unexpectedly cancelled on Monday, which was A-OK with us. G has some congestion, so I was going

Go, Go, Goers!
