Colossians 3:2

Xmas in July

This year, we started a new tradition.  We had a little Christmas in July fun.

There was little to no prep--I had an old pre-decorated tree up in the attic.

Before the festivities the next morning, we watched a little Christmas Vacation after the kids went to bed.

Christmas in July breakfast

We had a summer take on a Christmas meal:  Smoked sausage links, fresh veggies, and Toll House cookies.

We each exchanged a single, small gift and watched Christmas movies all day!  It was good ole' family time--just what we needed!

Back to School

It's that time again!  Time to get back in the swing of things--school, CC, fall activities.

AG and Edy both picked out new backpacks and lunch boxes.

I say this every year, but even homeschoolers need a back to school pic.  Even though we go sporadically throughout the summer, we have an official "back to school" day!

My Texan

Texas girl--born and raised.

AG is NINE!

My Ava Grace is NINE!  I'm still in shock.  

She's all about the store JUSTICE and she even likes make-up and all things girlie.

On her birthday, we had a big breakfast and early morning celebration.

Her party was held at Movie Studio Grill.  She invited a few friends to see Pete's Dragon and enjoy a good lunch while they watched the show!
