here is a way belated post of our gingerbread house construction from last week. it was last tuesday’s advent calendar activity, but then anna took a super long nap after school and we had plans for the evening, so we moved it to wednesday and here’s how it went down… all of the decorations, assembled […]
anna
stuff and things.
not much to report around here. it felt like i had a ton to post about, but then i looked through my pictures since last weekend when we put up the tree and there were like 10 total pictures taken. one of them was of this cute butt. in underpants. because the girl is potty […]
oh christmas tree. 2012 edition.
finally. thanksgiving is over. and it’s socially acceptable to listen to christmas music. and put up decorations. i may or may not have already starting the former. the latter we attended to yesterday and today… rather than hit up any black friday (thursday?) sales, we rolled the mile-ish into downtown (ha!) lewisville to our favorite […]
birthdays and thanksgivings, etcetera.
and so here it is. another one of those catch all posts with a bunch of random pictures thrown together to bring this blog back to the present. you’re welcome. anytime. first, i’ll begin with this cute picture of anna. she is obsessed with cramming her hands into her pockets “just like charlie brown dos”.

on monday, my family returned to their respective jobs and schooling, leaving us to our own devices. so, naturally, our first stop was olivers candy. so. much. sugar. the kids saw this dog and instinctively stopped to pose for a photo with it. they’re well trained. or brainwashed. whatever. outside, we took some photos along […]
