12/29/21

 I got up this morning and had my coffee and did some laundry. Around 11am Isaac reminded me that I need to do Nanas calendar, I was so happy he reminded me. I got right to it. I worked on it til mom got here sometime around 3:15ish. She was coming to get a hair trim. It was really easy because her hair was clean and straight and dry. 

She looks so young with her natural color and this style. I love it! Mom and dad bought gumballs from the kids which made them super happy! After mom and dad left, I got back to work on her calendar. Its 10:50 and I just got done. Haven't even eaten dinner yet.  Now that I think of it, I haven't eaten lunch either. Guess I was totally into the calendar haha. The day went by so fast! I'm happy to have it done. I've done it every year for a while now, not sure when I started making them for her. I actually really like looking at it at her house when I go there throughout the year. O and Kimmy is going to review the calendar to see if I made any mistakes, Thanks Kimmy! You are the best editor haha

I barely remember the kids going to bed haha but I do remember Peyton coming out here and asking me to pray with her that she doesn't have nightmares. She was up quite a bit last night and she said she dreamed that an Indian was scalping her. Not even sure where she got that from. She is sleeping on Isaac's floor tonight. Poor girl! But I was so proud of her for coming out to pray with me, she prayed and I agreed. She is such a sweet girl.

I'm going to go get something to eat quick and then head to bed.

 This morning I got up and got ready and then headed over to moms. We went out to breakfast and she treated me, thanks mom! After that we went to a couple stores to return a few things and to get a few things. Then we went to Kimmy and Jareds to feed the horse and check on the animals. We had fun taking pictures with the animals lol.





ON our way home we saw a couple eagles. I got pictures of them.



After I  got home, I got some games and the kids and we headed over to Matthews. First we played Sorry, and I won...then Matthew, then Isaac, Peyton was the big loser lol.
Then we played like 30 games of guess who. Then the kids played connect 4 with Matthew.
I had a couple cups of coffee. Matthew had me try his flavored coffee. They didnt have any creamer so I had to drink it black. Which after a few sips, I didnt even mind that it didnt have creamer. I first tried butter toffee, and then a cup of Southern Pecan. They were both super good but the butter toffee was the best.





After a while Uncle Tom and Aunt Debbie got home. We all played a game of right left center. It was so much fun! We laughed so hard when Matthew and Peyton were playing to win, after the rest of us lost. They went back and forth so many times with just 1 penny each. Matthew was the big winner.




Matthew was wearing all American flag, so when I saw the American flag pillow, I told him I needed a picture of him with it.

We got home and Peyton was so excited to open her new camera. She gave Isaac the first picture. 


Then we put the gumballs that Nana and Papa got for them in their gumball machines. They were so cute, it sure brought back good memories of Kimmy and I with our gumball machines. haha





They are going to see who has the most money when all the gumballs are empty.
I've been missing my Carhart hat since Leon used it on the milk. Tonight I prayed that I would find it, and sure enough I found it in my bag right after I prayed.

Tonight I was checking my moms blog and had a good laugh...she wrote "beautiful sunset this morning" hahaha not as funny as me peeling my mashed potatoes but super funny. Haha Adam might find this one extra funny lol
She said she changed it, but it was still there when I looked so I took a picture...I need proof haha
It sure was a fun day, but I am pooped! I'm off to bed now!

 This morning we got up and watched church online. Then we went to mom and dads for some yummy leftovers. Our special tradition.

After moms, we went to Goodwill, didn't find anything but its always fun to look around.

We came home and I took down the Christmas tree and other Christmas decorations. I moved the living room back to how it was before Christmas. Its nice to be back in the corner facing the whole house again. 


We all took baths/showers and then the kids had their cocoa bombs from Karen. They loved them! I had some hot chocolate and relaxed. I wore my new slippers from Aunt Ann, they are so warm. I love them!




I taught Isaac how to play solitaire. He loves it and he is so good at it. Peyton played a video game while he played solitaire.

We got up and ate breakfast, Rody made sausage, tater tots and waffles. Then we opened gifts. The kids said this was their best Christmas ever. haha Its Lenny's 6th birthday today, so we let them have pup cups at the table. haha The kids thought it was so funny!
