The Bunch are Ready for Christmas

Wow, I am sorry it has been so long  since my last post. We have been very busy getting ready the holiday season. First, T has been losing teeth left and right. Seriously, he has lost 3 teeth THIS WEEK and has more loose! I told him if he loses anymore we will have to buy him baby food to eat.


T's new toothless grin!


T just moved up from his white belt to his gold belt in karate. I was very proud of him because of his entire group he was recognized in front of everyone as having the best form. I usually do not take him to karate so when I went to watch on belt test day I was very pleasantly surprised to see how much better he had become in the past few months. Way to go T!

I had been working on Indian shirts and a turkey shirt for Thanksgiving. My wonderful husband was willing to let me make him a turkey to contrast our Indians. We wore our outfits to the park for pictures and made more than one jogger smile on turkey day. We spent the day with my in laws just watching the parade and dog show while eating vast amounts of yummy food. It was great.

Could the girls look any less enthused with picture time?
This past weekend we drove down to Waxahachie to see the Bethlehem Revisited that they put on in the first two weekends in December. Essentially, they recreate the entire market place in the town of  David and you actually watch actors, in a very large nice set complete with barnyard animals, react to what was going on the day of Jesus's birth.,  You see Caesar's guards walking about, you have the tax building to pay your taxes and  numerous merchants like basket weavers, bread makers, pottery makers, and soap makers. You follow Mary and Joseph through the city and being turned away at the inn, the birth of Jesus, and the three wise men trying to make their way to the new king. It was surreal. I highly recommend it to anyone in the area. Totally worth the drive!

Waiting for Jesus.....Isn't that always true?

The Bunch Are Off To A Wonderful 2025 And Are Considering A Change 🤔

It's official, she has a college diploma!! Besides totally enjoying a drama free year, we have been consciously spending time doing things as a family and spending time with each child doing things they enjoy. D has been playing ball and watching movies with his larger "mini me" while A and I have been spending a lot of time in Dallas going to the theatre. A absolutely loves going to see off Broadway productions! I won't be surprised in the slightest if she ends up getting season tickets. Dallas Broadway does a lottery to each show where if they draw your name you have 3 hours to buy tickets for $39 each including all fees! That is an absolute steal! She actually won the lottery on Tuesday so we went that night to see the production of "& Juliet". The seats she won were FANTASTIC! They don't give you cheap seats in the back for the lottery. You win good seats. The seats we ended up with worked out to be only about a quarter of the regular price! We h...

The Bunch Celebrate Christmas

  It's become tradition for T to wear a Santa hat on Christmas. Our Christmas was pretty low key. D was able to go in late so he was able to have Christmas with us before he went to work which was really nice. The kids and I packed up and moved Christmas brunch to C&H's house since he needs to stay close to home and we worried about the lack of emergency care both on the way to our house and while here. I made up a potato casserole ahead of time, brought stuff for garden scrambled eggs, and banana bread while H made a really good cranberry punch and some pigs in a blanket. I have to say for only 5 people we had a ton of food! In fact, T ate so much for brunch I don't think he really ate anything for the rest of the day. He also finished his very last hour of driving on his way back home! Driver's license here we come....next week! After the mess Axl made last time we left him in his crate, we reenforced the doors with zip ties. We also made sure to take him on a wal...

The Bunch Visit Family

  We had fun playing some board games...and it wasn't even a fun jar idea! We just did it because it sounded like fun! The fun jar has been a little slow being implemented this year. T made sure to let me know! We're making up for it next week by drawing several things.  We have had a wonderfully busy week visiting family and getting things done around the house. We went over to my parents house to celebrate Father's Day and while the boys played games with Grandpa, the girls went with Grandma to show her what all the fuss about Trader Joe's is about. She enjoyed looking at all the different things and even found a few gems of her own. It was a nice day and fun to get out together for a little bit. We had a great day!🥰 We picked up Whataburger for my Dad as a treat and my mom made some tots and a side salad up to go with it.💗 We also had a nice long visit with our Aunt P. She's been under the weather and we hadn't had a visit in a couple weeks so it was nice t...
