Polar Express

Brendon dropped off the crabbiest little girl ever at school today.  But she cheered up when I brought her into the school and she saw how nice it was decorated for the holidays.  Then we went to Target.  It actually wasn't too crazy.  The cashier gave me a million bags with like 2 items in them...grrr!!!!  So it was a little overwhelming to sort them when I got home!

Then after dinner today and 30 minutes spent in the potty...we watched the Polar Express.  She wasn't a fan of it last year...but LOVED it this year.  We skipped one part- she didn't like the creepy broken toy part! I don't blame her. But I am so glad that she loved it!

Dancing Fun

Lots of fun at dance class tonight!

I love how she is looking at herself in the mirror. 

This is from the free time they have at the end of the class and they play Freeze Dance!  I think it is hilarious that Olivia just wants to run around and hit everyone with her scarf...sigh...

Friendsgiving

Yesterday we had our friends over for a "Friendsgiving"

I truly enjoyed having everyone over as crazy as it can be at times...it is so worth it.  Never did I imagine 5 years ago I would be having a "Friendsgiving" with friends and their children.  I struggle with Thanksgiving week due to not having my family here and my miscarriage the day before Thanksgiving 5 years ago.  That just makes the holiday bittersweet for me because I wasn't thankful for anything 5 years ago, as I was mad at the world and just flat out sad! So thank you friends for coming, it made my week so much better to spend it with our new "family" of friends.  I am thankful for every time we get to see each other and the memories we have made and continue to make!
