January Tidbits 2021

We went out for a hike with friends this month.  It was perfect weather, and just what we needed during these crazy times!

 

December Tidbits 2020

Christmas Pjs!

 

Lucy made her own board game...Sparkle!

The girls and daddy went to Tahoe for the night while mommy got a much needed break.  They went on a beautiful hike while they were away.

My parents retired!  (Well, retired on paper, but those of you who know my dad know he won't ever be fully retired!)

Brandon made me an epic birthday meal and we went out to see Christmas lights that evening.

Teacher's Christmas gifts were embroidered kitchen towels made by mommy and the girls.

Aubrey started tennis lessons this month and is loving it.  We're a little bummed this took the place of gymnastics for her, but she wanted to try something new!

Our annual ugly sweater cooker decorating happened this year!

Lauren and Aubrey had some fun looking at Christmas lights.

This girl :)

Halloween 2020

 Well, this year's Halloween was a little different, but we took it in stride.  With the pandemic things were still pretty shut down and so we opted for a night in with friends.

We went to our church "Trunk-or-Treat" the night before and the girls got their fair share of candy there, so they didn't even want to go out and trick-or-treat on actual Halloween.  They were more excited about passing out the candy this year!

We had a might of Mexican food, watching Coco in the backyard with friends, and passing out candy to the few who came around that evening.  Low key and just the way we would have preferred it this year!

Monterey Getaway 2020

 We've been in quarantine for some time and after we started back with distance learning again (both teaching and learning for the girls), and a surgery for me, it was time to get away somehow.  Things are opening up a bit more again and we decided to take a last minute trip to Monterey.  We asked the Purintons if they wanted to join us, and they did!

It was a great time with very little plans except for enjoying the fresh air, the beach, good food, and the company of good friends.  A MUCH needed time away...especially for this momma!
