December

When I thought about doing any December posts I had thought that maybe I should wait until after all the Christmas parties.... but then I thought... hm, I'll never post all the picutres when i see them pile up.  So I'm posting as I go. 

Some of this is so random but I like to document.  My family knows pretty well that I love to document any trip or anything fun in life.  Pretty sure anything my niece Brooklyn does that is funny or new for her I have to video it. 

Last Sunday I had to teach in Young Womens.  Which really isn't that bad because I only have to teach for like 20 min. and with the way things are set up I only teach once a month.  But the topic was so random..."Avoid Crisis Living".  Um sure let me just talk on that for like a half hour by repeating myself, "Plan really well, buy a planner, make goals." What else is there to really talk about?  So I was frustrated because it wasn't an in depth topic and it was right during Christmas so I really wanted to do a Christmas lesson.  All week I though of ways to make my lesson cute and somehow make it "Christmasy".  And this is what I came up with!

It's a Christmas ornament! I just took a red shatterproof ornament and hot glued peppermints onto it and then added the ribbon bow.  Ha ha! This is how I tied it into the lesson... To avoid crisis living you need to have a plan and have steps to accomplish your goals... just like how I made this ornament.  It took about 3 steps to creat it.  Pah!
But it was fun to decorate for my lesson with christmas stuff.  There is just a really good "mood" with anything Christmas around ya know.  This is how it looked. 

Next fun event: Last week we had our December bunco at Bryndy's house.  Way fun! It is always so good to see those girls.  I am such an advocate for bunco because it's once a month so you know you will see your friends no matter how busy life gets, the girls in it are so fun and kind, you basically gamble ha ha, I just like to lean more towards it being a fun game. And you get fed! Love it.  This is from the last bunco with half of the group.

My little niece Kapri turned 2! Her birthday was Dec. 9 and KT through her a party on that Sat. the 10th. It was so much fun and cool to see her pictures from the past 2 years. 

(Seriously can I look this good after having 2 kids please!)

KT is an amazing scrapbooker, party planner, mom, cook, decorator etc etc etc.  I was blown away at how details she got with Kapri's birthday.  Very Impressive. It's been so fun to see Kapri grow up for the past 2 years and get to know her.  She is super energetic.  You can always expect her to make you laugh.  She has these piercing blue eyes.  My dad always calls them piercing becuase they are soooo blue. She is a very loving little girl who gives great hugs and always says thank you.  My favorite memory of Kapri right now is how she always tells you what's up.  For example, "Uncle Deery (for Davis), come ere".  (meaning davis come here now ha ha) She is a hoot!

                                  I borrowed these from KT's blog cause they are just so Kapri. 

Can't forget about baby Zuri.  Oh she is a sweetheart. 

Then I had my family over for a sunday dinner this past sunday becuase we are going to New York with the Warnocks on Friday for a whole week! (yeah that will be its own post). So I wanted to see them before and my mom let me borrow her Christmas China with her cute Christmas glasses. It looked really pretty.

And Ashlee made THE best dessert.  Holy cow.  She found the recipe on Pinterest (of course everything super cute comes from pinterest) and this is her beautiful creation.

Um hello my new best friend! People meet: the ultimate frozen milky way!



She left the extras with me at my house and there were like 5 of them left over.... are there still 5 left over... nope.... I'd rather not talk about it k.
