January 2015

We have had a very busy and full 2015 which is the reason I am so behind in writing and catching up on our blog.
In January, we started off the year with our traditional meal at Memaw and Pop's house with cabbage, ham and black eyed peas!  One of my favorite meals of the year but you will see Brooklyn's reaction to it all.  We also got to visit our newly refurbished movie theater to watch "Night at the Museum" which was amazing....reclining chairs and all!

Playing with friends during our time off is one of our favorite things to do!  We love the flexibility of being off with our kids during their holidays, so we can foster our friendships!

With my mini me!

Mommy got away on a very nice girls' weekend with Julie, Laurie, and Jacqueline.  It was a blast to do crafts, play cards, cook, drink, go for walks, and chase the mouse that we found in the house.  You have never heard such loud screams as you would have the night the mouse showed itself!!  OH MY, what an experience!
The house was beautiful and such a blast to stay in.  The small country town was perfect for a weekend away!

Brooklyn's second choir concert was for the talent show that they hold at Lemm.  It was super cute with our personal favorite being "Duct Tape."

Snow Day Adventures at Lemm Elementary!  They are truly blessed with a great PTO!

Brooklyn had her first experience in a school spelling bee this year!  She passed the class and level spelling bee and was one of the 5 participants in the 3rd grade in the Bee.  I was not able to go because of work obligations, but believe me we spent hours practicing words for the Bee.  She did not get as far as she had hoped when she missed the word TANTRUM (kind of ironic that the girl that has never thrown a tantrum in her life got that word)!  We were SO proud of her and the hard work that she displayed during the entire process!
