I met my good friend Tiffany for dinner tonight. We met about 20 years ago when we both worked at The School Box. We were at Chili's for over 2 hours just chatting it up. We try to meet up every Christmas season for dinner, dessert or a late night Walmart run! (we did all 3 tonight!!)

Today was Silly Sock Day at preschool! And since I had her Christmas outfits planned for each day I had to incorporate the red/green into the outfit!! (Ummm....WHO had the bright idea to do spirit week the last week before Christmas??? It's putting my OCD into overdrive).

My dad invited us all out to his house for a Christmas dinner! It is so fun when we all get together and this event did not disappoint. We were in rare form! I decided I wanted to take a group shot so taylor and I rigged my camera for the automatic timer and we all got together and SNAP!! This was the funny one. It makes me crack up because we were crammed into a tiny space so that we could all be in the picture!! FUN times! I am so glad that my kids will have these memories when they grow up!

Our church hosts a HUGE charity event every year for needy families. It's called Hope For Christmas. This year me, Keith and Drew all got to volunteer (last year Keith was out of town). It was an awesome way to spend a Saturday during the Christmas season.

Not sure WHAT I was thinking by trying to go to Krispy Kreme on the day that they were offering BOGO free dozen donuts! OMG! The parking lot was a traffic jam and the inside was jam packed too. But Drew and I decided to wait and 45 minutes later we had our free donuts! It was actually quite fun, kind of a festive atmosphere!! And by the way...the promotion was because the date was 12-12-13??? Not really sure what the big deal with that date was but whatev!

Every year the West Cobb Avenue has free carriage rides on Wednesdays in December. There is usually an early release day this month so I always try to plan it that day so we can beat the crowds. We were third in line and didn't have to wait long at all!
December 10
Keith took Addi to Bethel Church for their live nativity. They do a fantastic job every year. The costumes are awesome and everything is so realistic down to the live camel and sheep!

Today we went to O'Charley's for breakfast with Santa! Drew wanted me to make sure that I let everyone (all 5 of you who read this) that I asked him to sit with Santa and it wasn't his idea!!
December 7
Today was the annual Dallas Christmas parade. We got there early and found a perfect little spot! I love going to this parade because we see TONS of people we know in the parade of there to watch!
December 6
Happy 26th birthday, Shannon!! We all went out for mexican to celebrate Shannon's birthday!!!
December 5
We went to the annual tree lighting ceremony in Hiram tonight! It was rainy but warm. Not sure if I prefer that or freezing cold and dry! Either way we all had a fun time as always!
December 4
Guess who showed up this morning at breakfast?? Our elves, Barr and Jimmy! Addi has been asking and asking where they were and I was trying to put it off as long as possible because it is WORK!! But they are here so, let the mischief begin!
December 3
FINALLY got our tree up and decorated!! I love watching Addi this year, she is so excited about everything Christmas!
December 2
I found this "Ugly Sweater" cookie kit at Five Below the other day! I am so excited because this is going to be the theme of our family Christmas this year!!! Can't wait!

December 1
My house looks like a Christmas bomb went off in it. Not to mention I still have Disney stuff here and there to put away. But Miss Addi could not wait to put her little tree up! I had this tree at my shower with her for people to clip hair bows to. And now we put it in her room every year!! I love how pink and girly it is! (I fixed the star after I took this. Keith put it up and said he tried and tried to get it to stay straight. Men! Took me a half a second!)

Keith and I took Addi to see Frozen. It was so cute! Sadly, Drew has reached the age where he would rather stay home than go to kiddie movies these days! :(
November 29
Jackie and I were determined to go Black Friday shopping even though we had just walked our legs off for 6 days at Disney! I must say it was the most pitiful BF shopping day in history. We didn't leave til 11 and were home by 7This is the back of my car. It is usually so full that I can't close it! We didn't get much accomplished either because we didn't scour the ads beforehand due to being out of town. Note to self: Don't plan a Disney trip the day before Black Friday again!
November 28
On our way home from Disney. We stopped at a Cracker Barrell along 75 somewhere to eat Thanksgiving dinner!
November 22
We pulled the big reveal off without a hitch! Hannah and Addi were over the moon excited. Holley didn't take it so well and almost started crying. I think she was just overwhelmed. It was so worth the wait! I really couldn't decide if we should tell them or not and I am so glad we kept it a surprise!
November 21
Tomorrow we leave for Disney World!!! The kids (Addi, Hannah and Holley) have no clue we are going! Taylor helped me make this box and we will fill it with balloons with a sign attached telling them that we are going! I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!
November 20
Drew has been going with me to school some mornings and then catching the middle school bus. We ran into his 1st and 4th grade teacher (he had her twice) so I had to get a pic! He is almost as tall as she is! We love you, Mrs. Hatch!
