November and December - Life Lately

Goodness - it's almost the end of 2016!

I feel like this year has flown by! I spent all of November recapping our Disney trip so here's what we've been doing since then!

Madeline and I went shopping and then filled up shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child. We had a fun time with our friends Tara and Kristin packing presents for children.

Matching sissies enjoying lunch at Chuy's.

 Our love of Mexican food runs strong in this family!

We went to Claire's birthday party and got our face painted!

We went to Kensley's birthday party and celebrated Minnie-style!

Stella had a spa day!

We met Santa at Gustavo's.

We went to Costco with Dave and Tara and antics ensued.

Madeline went for her hair cut which comes with hand and neck massage.

Chris had a week off from work and had lunch with Madeline one day.

She loved it!

Then he was sad about going back to work so, we had a date night at Corbett's. YUM.

We went to the family Pajama Jam at Church.

I tried to take a serious picture of the girls in front of  the "Jesus is why" wall.

 Except it didn't turn out right.

Sydney jumped from the ottoman to the couch and flipped over the back. Landed on her forehead. Scratch is from the hardwood floor plank and you can't see the nice goose egg that developed later. 

We went to Stella Murphy's birthday party! 

Our Elf came and brought donuts from the North Pole!


 And some Christmas jammies!

And she's been doing some crazy thing!

And that was our November and part of December! Headed into the homestretch of 2016!
