December Sweetness

Our December technically started on November 29th, when we put the tree up!


We have one of Bryan's Nana's old Christmas trees, so this year, we put it on the front porch.  It was so dreamy!

I took Jack out on a date at our favorite lunch spot!


For my birthday, Sarah came home!  Then, we went to our favorite Mexican restaurant!  I meant to take a picture while we were there, but honestly, we were having so much fun talking and laughing, that I completely forgot!  We truly had the best time!

When we got home, we had 2 kinds of birthday cake, then went to go see Christmas lights!  It was the sweetest day with my favorite people!

Then, I got to take Sarah on a date!



On Christmas Eve, Billy came over, and we had our annual gingerbread house competition.  This is the kids' favorite tradition!

This was the first year we started all decorating gingerbread houses!

Christmas morning.




His reactions are always the best!

We surprised him with an authentic Japanese katana!  This was his favorite gift!





We celebrated Jesus' birthday!

Then, we took a couple more pictures before heading to Bryan's parents.

My favorite people celebrating our precious Savior.  It doesn't get any better, and I am forever grateful.

Thanksgiving

We had a sweet Thanksgiving spent with Bryan’s family.  We have so much to be grateful for, and we are so thankful to God for His countless blessings!

Halloween Meal

We celebrated Halloween earlier this month as we always do...with a Halloween themed meal during a family movie!  It's simple, but it's one of our favorite little traditions!
 

Peanut Festival

Earlier this month, we went to our town's annual Peanut Festival.  We had a blast!




When it was time for lunch, Jack decided to get a lobster roll.  It was his first time trying one, and he loved it so much that he's already requested for us to make it for him for his birthday meal...which is in 8 months!

Bryan and I both got corn dogs and shared a strawberry lemonade!

Jack and I also got Dippin' Dots!

Then, it was time for the rides!


We all went on the Tilt-a-Whirl and had the best time!




We had a wonderful day together, and we can't wait to go back next year!
