You've got to love my really inventive titles- right?
Thanksgiving weekend the girls and I met Gee, Papaw, and Amelia 1/2 way so the girls could spend Thanksgiving in Arkansas. They also took Gabby with them :)
They love having Thanksgiving in Arkansas and going to Branson, so I told them that this year, they could go and have the week, but since next year is Gretchen's last Thanksgiving at home, they'll have to stay here. We're trying to convince Gee and Papaw to come here too!
They had a fun week in Arkansas and after Thanksgiving lunch, they went to Branson. My mom took them to Silver Dollar City, and of course to get their annual Santa picture.
Meanwhile, DJ and I were living it up at work and being kid free for the week.
Once they got back, we were full steam ahead with the SEC championship game. We opted to stay home and watch the game on TV- and look who we spotted doing some sideline work before the game!!
Faith and Scout came over to watch the game with us!
And even though we didn't win, we were super pumped to be in the championship game our 1st season in the conference.
On Sunday, Megan had her last tumbling class. We opted to take her out for several reasons- but mostly because her wrist is pretty banged up from years of tumbling.
Later in the week, Adalyn had her 1st band concert!
Megan was there taking pictures for the yearbook.
Can you spot our little French Hornist?
We were so proud of her!
December had a few basketball games thrown in; and it was fun to cheer her on.
And then I had the greatest idea ever, to gift my Secret Santa at work baby chicks!
The girls were obsessed.
DJ and I took the big girls to see Wicked.
And we spent a night at the Texas Athletic Department's Christmas party.
Gabby was super curious about the chickens!
And DJ and I celebrated our 19th wedding anniversary.
After having the chickens at our house for a week, I was off to work to gift them!
And he was totally surprised, but y'all, he literally asked for chickens on his wish list so I delivered!
