Hey loves. How was your Christmas? Ours went far from planned. It seems to be the trend for the past few years. Someone always gets sick. On the positive we are all feeling better and excited to get away in a few days.
It's that time for What's Up Wednesday with Shay, and Sheaffer. On the last Wednesday of every month we are all invited to share a little bit everything that has been going on for the past month.
On the last week of December here's what's up...
~ WHAT I AM EATING THIS WEEK ~
I have no idea. Sunday we had lasagna for Christmas eve. On Christmas day we had ham. We leave for vacation on Saturday morning. There will be leftovers and whatever I find to make. I am planning on
~ WHAT I AM REMINISCING ABOUT ~
2015- Ella use to be small enough to lift up and she would place the tree topper on the tree. She is now an inch shorter than me and not getting picked up.
Austin's first Christmas. He slept through opening presents this year.
2019- Audrianna's first Christmas
~ WHAT I AM LOVING ~
This month Ella and I have spent a lot of time just her and me. From going shopping, coffee, sitting around talking, playing games. etc.
I got to see Austin at school a few times this month. He had a readers theatre were his class put on a few small plays, bingo night, and his Christmas party. I am now known as Austin's mom at school.
Between the sassiness of this girl and having to be in every picture and the head tilt. I love that she is her own personality.
I am also still loving my wellness box. I have gotten it for 4 months now with different products and repeats. I will be sharing more about it, in the new year.
~ WHAT WE HAVE BEEN UP TO ~
On November 30 Brian and I were baptized at a private ceremony. On December 3rd Austin and Audrianna were baptized at church. (also pictured it out church sponsor and my best friend)
Ella had her Christmas choir concert.
We took the kids to see Santa at Cabela's. The Santa was so nice and fun for the kids. At first Anna was shy and wouldn't smile. Santa said Anna could have a candy cane if she smiled.
We celebrated Brian's birthday with a date night and some Christmas shopping.
Most weekends have been spend with our neighbors, from watching football to having a gingerbread house party.
Ella had her Christmas band concert.
We have been driving around looking at Christmas lights and went to a local walk through exhibit too.
Ella had her bi-annual hearing test. Her hearing loss hasn't changed in the last year since being diagnosed but she is potentially showing signs of further hearing loss in band. We are exploring our options with that currently.
Brian had his work Christmas party. It was a lot of fun to get out for a few hours and socialize with other adults.
~ WHAT I AM DREADING ~
Nothing currently.
~ WHAT I AM WORKING ON ~
Figuring out my soon to be crazy schedule. I have volunteered to watch my girlfriends daughters with her new work schedule. I watched them last year also. This year our girls are in different classes on different schedules. A few days a week I will be running back and worth to schools to drop off and pick up girls. I am hoping they are good being here without Anna being here.
I am also currently packing for our vacation. We are flying and making sure all our liquids are within size and all the right stuff is in the carry on and checked luggage. It is more mentally stressful with 3 kids now. We will have a car at our destination so that will be helpful I don't have to pack the whole world, if we forget something we can go to the store.
~ WHAT I AM EXCITED ABOUT ~
Vacation. This will be Anna's first time flying and she is so excited. It is also our first time taking a vacation that isn't over the summer. The way my kids winter break from school they won't miss any days.
~ WHAT I AM WATCHING ~
Hallmark, Lifetime, and Great American Family Holiday movies.

~ FAVORITE AMAZON PURCHASE THIS MONTH ~
I bought a bunch of Christmas presents on Amazon this month. I bought a few things for me.
I am excited to read the Bible in a year again with The Bible Recap. This year I bought the study guide to dive deeper.
Bible highlights (they are not crayons) and new pens for journaling. I am loving them so far.
~ WHAT WE ARE DOING THIS WEEKEND ~
Flying to Myrtle Beach for a week
~ WHAT I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT MONTH ~
besides a new year and vacation. I am looking forward to get back into a routine and no more cookies. I am ready for all the crap food to be out of the house. I also found a new workout that isn't associated with an affiliate or direct sales company. I have been doing their free trial and I am loving the workouts and the community. I am excited for the 60 day new hear challenge.
Thank you for stopping by!!!!! If you are new here,
Feel free to follow along.
XOXO
I hope you have the best time on vacation!
