Five on Friday

Five on Friday, I've missed you.  Now is the perfect time to give 1,2,3,4,5 updates.

[ONE] 

For starters--THIS WEATHER!  Y'all Texas weather has been crazy lately.  We've had 70ish days since the middle of January.  I wouldn't say I'm complaining, but I miss getting to enjoy the winter.

[TWO]

We love First Monday Trade Days in Canton.  For us, it's a family affair...

Edy picked out this $10 wedding dress for her newly engaged aunt! 

What do you think, KK?

[THREE]
We use our foyer for homeschooling.  I've found practical ways to store our stuff without it screaming, "WE HOMESCHOOL IN HERE!"  Most of our stuff is stored in my office, but some things I keep in a cabinet in the foyer.

The other day the door to the cabinet was open and I clipped it with my leg and ripped it right off the hinges.  I was so frustrated.  It was beyond repair.  Graham and I purchased the little cabinet for 99 bucks just after marrying and I loved it.

AG and I went furniture shopping for hours and hours one afternoon.  The very last place we stopped, I found this beautiful cabinet...

I LOVE IT!

[FOUR]

Yesterday, Graham and I celebrated 15 years since our first date!  We've never celebrated this anniversary before, but we thought it would be fun to go out and reminisce.  We talked about our first date and how there was so much unknown to us at the time, but how it was the beginning of something wonderful!

I remember my greatest fear was that I'd slip up and accidentally call him Grant.

[FIVE]

I'll end with these cuties...

That's a wrap!  

Have a great weekend!

It's Spring...in January

We're enjoying a typical afternoon in May...wait, what?

snow...snow...snow...

This is a post dedicated to my snow pictures.  Enjoy...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SNOW DAY!

Wednesday, we were SNOWED in!  It was the best.  We didn't/couldn't go anywhere and we had a fantastic time.

I thought long and hard about this and I decided I would spare you all of the White Christmas quotes that are running through my head right now! :)  You're Welcome!

We weren't real prepared for the snow attire-wise, but that didn't stop us!

Edy's first time to play in snow!

Needless to say...she loved it!

Okay, how cute are these little snow princesses?  Aunt Dorothy gave these little dresses to the girls for Christmas and they were perfect for a quick photo op.  

Because I promised not to quote White Christmas--I'll be good, but you should know that I'm singing "Sisters...Sisters" as I type!

White Christmas in ARKANSAS!

White Christmas in Arkansas?  Yes, yes, yes!  In the central part of the state, I might add, not NWA! 

And let me say, this wasn't your average, typical dusting!  In our neck of the woods, we got just under a foot of snow!!!!

The snow started falling really hard at about 7PM and we put out our bowl for snow ice cream!

This is about the time that all the ladies in the house began to sing...."Snow, Snow, Snow..." (one of many White Christmas references)

Our bowl went from this....to this...in a little over an hour!

 

 

SNOW ICE CREAM 

 

 

I love how the Christmas lights illuminated the snow!

Isn't this dreamy!?!
Snow day coming up in next post...

Christmas {na & pops}

On Christmas day, we loaded up the car and headed to Conway (from my mom and dad's).  We were on the road about and hour and a half and the rain turned to sleet.  By Little Rock, we had big flurries hitting our windshield.

We were excited and nervous!

We made it to Conway safely, PTL! 

Let the fun WHITE CHRISTMAS begin!

ceee-ute!
We enjoyed dinner with the family...

 

We opened gifts...

 

 

 

The girls got these adorable wedding dresses!

These pics make me smile!

Well...

*Around 7PM, the snow really began to pick up!

*Conway, AR hasn't had a White Christmas in over 82 years and we were in for a real treat.

More to come...
