Thankful Thursday ~ 12/13/18

~We went to a new-to-us Christmas Tree Farm on Saturday. We had a great time! There was a gift shop by the parking lot but to get to the trees we got to take a wagon ride up on the hill. There were rows and rows and hills and hills of Christmas trees to pick from. To make it even more festive, the temperature was only around 25F. But...there were blankets on the wagon to snuggle under :)

~The girls got some Blue-Raspberry Kettle Corn at the Christmas Tree Farm. It was yummy :) Luckily, they got two bags of it so we could all share :)

~As if we hadn't been out in the cold enough Saturday, that evening was our little town's Christmas parade. Kaylee is in the Community Band so we stood outside and waited and waited and waited for the parade. Finally, it started and we got to see the band and the Santa float. But it was freezing!!!!

~Later that night while trying to get warmed up, the hubby and I watched my very favorite Christmas movie, "White Christmas"! After I warmed up a bit I decided to work on the Christmas gift I'm making while we finished the movie. It was a wonderful day :)

~I finally had a day where I was able to check off all 5 items on my "5 to Thrive" checklist! I actually got a workout in and was able to mark that off the list :)

What are you thankful for today?

Tea Time ~ Pirates and Parades ~ 6/2/17

Grab a cup of tea, coffee, hot chocolate or your favorite drink
while I share a few things that made me smile this week :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~Last Friday evening we took Kaylee, Laken and Dex to see "Pirates of the Caribbean ~ Dead Men Tell No Tales" at the theater. We've seen all the "Pirates" movies and I was interested in seeing how they would bring Will Turner back from Davey Jones' Locker. I was a bit worried that it would be too scary for Dex, but he loved it! My favorite part of the movie was probably the last 2 minutes but I don't want to give anything away! Have you seen the movie? What did you think?

~Monday was the Memorial Day Parade in our little town. Kaylee played in the band for the parade and the Memorial Day Ceremony. After the parade, we went to my brother and SIL's for a picnic. The weather was very ominous first thing in the morning but it turned out to be a beautiful day :)

~Kaylee made the paper as Athlete of the Month! If you know Kaylee, you know that she's not extremely "sporty", but she loves tennis :) I was really excited to see that she was chosen to be featured!

~Thursday was the last day of school for the girls! I'm as excited as they are, if not more! I'm looking forward to staying up late and sleeping in. hehe. I can't believe I now have a Senior and a Fifth Grader! Time flies. Here are some comparison pictures from the first day of the school year to the last day:

~Kaylee's boyfriend, Shawn, graduated last evening! He is a great kid :) As you can see, he was in the National Honor Society and was an officer in a few different clubs. Congratulations, Shawn! Way to go!!!!
