The Bunch Watch L Sing At The Arboretum

 

We had a blast at the arboretum!

The Arboretum was beautiful! Their theme was the twelve days of Christmas and they did a great job. I also learned that having a better camera doesn't equal better pictures if you don't know how to use your camera! The kids took WAY better pics than I did so D and I decided we're going to watch the tutorial on how to use the camera. I miss the point and shoot days. L's group was by far the largest there. They brought their own risers, keyboard, and sound system and performed for about an hour. Afterwards, we walked around the arboretum and looked at all the beautiful lights. I wanted to stay longer, but the general consensus was that everyone was tired and wanted to go home so after about an hour we left.

L arrived at 4 pm with her choir, but we had to wait until 6pm to enter.

It was beautiful.

There were a lot of kids who went.

They set up in the middle of the Christmas Village.

It was fun to look at all the shops set up in the village. However at $9 per cup of cocoa, we decided to wait until we got home!

We were waiting on L so we started playing with the camera.

T took this pic. I am not sure where they learned how to take pics, but it wasn't from me, obviously!😂

The was the indoor decor of one of the shops.

The decor was just so fun!

The tree was lit up to music.

Still figuring out how to use the camera!😂😂

This was the ladies dancing display. All the displays were really done well.

What a fun night!

A did really well this semester! Even working about 25 hours and taking a full course load, she pulled straight A's! It was hard and every second she was either working, studying, or sleeping, but she did it! I am very proud of her. She has about another year until she graduates with her actual Vet Tech license. Right now she has her Vet Assistant certification so she is working as an assistant until she finishes her Tech degree. This year I sent our baking day goodies to her work instead of D's. I am not sure D appreciated that, but his work got them the past 14 years so I think it's fine. Besides I did not make very many and his works requires a TON of goodies. 

We are ready for Christmas! I can't believe there is only a week left. Tonight we are meeting C and H in Sherman to have dinner and then go through the drive thru light display. We really LOVED this display a few years ago so hopefully it hasn't changed too much. We are also celebrating D's birthday. He works on his actual birthday so we are going to celebrate this weekend. We might go watch the new Avatar movie, but a 3 hr and 15 run time is really long! We might wait until we can comfortably watch it at home!


Practicing with the camera while L does the dishes. The kids really do help out a lot. They're good kids.

We spent our down time playing cards and watching Hallmark movies.

Maisy is such a helper.

She always wins! I am not sure how, but she has to cheat!

Our tree. T has been asking to open presents almost daily. He really is just a big kid.

Noelle loves her cuddles when it's cold out.

My kids and their blankets!😂 None of them can go anywhere without their blankie.

The Bunch Start Birthday Week

  Yes, my Mom had my name misspelled on the cake.😂 It was still yummy so it was all good. T, A, and I all have our birthdays within a week and a half. Which means there is a crazy amount of sugar within those 10 days. We always like to make whoever's birthday it is feel special for the day. We watch what they want,do activities they like, eat what they pick, do their chores for them, etc. It not usually too expensive, but just a fun day where it's focused on them. The kids use to use their days to rule like little kings and queens, but have become a lot calmer in their "old" age since they get to do whatever they want most of the time anyways. We are a pretty close family and do a lot of things together all the time anyways, but on birthdays we still make sure we defer to the birthday boy/girl. My birthday is first and the kids do so many nice things for me all the time, but they put forth an extra effort on my birthday. This year A even woke up early to turn the cof...

The Bunch Are Ready For Fall To Come Back

  A and I at our favorite venue. We LOVE Bass Hall. I must admit that we are pretty tired of the crazy hot weather. We are ready to go back to the temps we had at the beginning of September. We played pickleball again this week, but D had required overtime to work so just T, A, and I went. We played singles and winner played the next person or A and I played together against T.  We ended up in full sun and the humidity was a killer. We are happy that the cold front is coming through this week and the mornings should be in the 60s or low 70s with low humidity. It should be super nice to play in. T won every game we played, but A and I together definitely made him work harder! We still had a lot fun. We decided against our usual post game Braums. We all were hot and really just wanted to get home to the a/c.  A won the lottery for tickets at Bass Hall to see the Life of Pi. We were up in the upper gallery, but that might have been beneficial for this show. The animal puppet...

The Bunch's Streak Of Bad Luck Continues

We made great time on the way there! It's amazing how leaving only 30 minutes later can help immensely with traffic. I wish all the shows started at 8 instead of 7:30.  What a week this was! We went to Bass Hall to see Back to the Future. It was ok. Definitely not the best play we have seen. The boys went with us and since the last two shows they joined us for were The Outsiders, which is one of, if not our most, favorite show ever, and A Christmas Story, which is in probably in the top 6, they were really not impressed. However, we still had a nice time doing something different together.  We love Bass Hall❤️ We had opening night tickets and got a GREAT deal! I went in this week and had my polyps removed plus they did a biopsy. I was more sore and for longer than I anticipated. Yes, the doctor said recovery was about 10 days, but I really only anticipated maybe 3-4. Boy, was I wrong! It's been 7 days now and by 10 I think I will be completely back to normal. Unfortunately, sh...
