The Bunch Bake Cookies, Watch a Basketball Scrimmage, and L Gets Her License!

 

T's team playing with the Go Pro on the goal.😂

We have watched our fair share Hallmark movies this week. For those of you who like Hallmark, our two favorite so far are Three Wise Men and a Baby and Fabled Romance. We also watched Tickets to Paradise, which is not Christmasy or Hallmark, but was still really good. Pretty much all our holiday shopping is done and I just need to mail a couple of things.  Next, we move on to our holiday baking. I normally make banana bread, but since I don't have a freezer full of overripe bananas I am instead making zucchini breads ( I have PLENTY of that!!). 

Noelle climbed in A's backpack while she was cleaning her room.

Noelle had a VERY helpful day.

She was really nervous waiting to go take her driving test.

She was about to leave to take her test.

She was so happy to be done and have passed!!

L got ahead start on baking this week when she made cookies for her choir friends for Christmas. She also passed her driver's license test!!😊 I am very proud of her and now I get a two year vacation before T learns to drive! She has her Christmas concert this weekend at the arboretum and we are really hoping it doesn't rain! 

T had another scrimmage during his basketball practice and this time played the 16 U A team. This team also includes four players who also play Varsity, two of who start on Varsity. His team, of course, lost, but wow they were a lot better than the jv A team had anticipated. In fact, if the varsity players hadn't played the freshman might have won. T was pretty proud of himself for making a couple of blocks on the varsity players! 

Decorating her cookies took her FOREVER.

They turned out cute though by. Teddy bears, snowmen, and gingerbread men.

I literally watched the fog roll in.

Our last official game until after Christmas.

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...
