The Weekend Report (Sunday)

 

Festive holiday nails for all the HOLIDAY fun!

Maddie and Minnie worked together to make this charcuterie to bring to SIL L's 1st Annual Cookie Decorating Party!

This guy had NO IDEA why his Mom had put tablecloths UNDER the table...

but it was a GOOD THING SHE DID!! It got a little nutty REALLY fast! :)

Oh Miss Mean Muggin'....I love her!

These two were RIGHT in their glory with sugar sugar...

and MORE SUGAR!

Whew!

Josie Ring's nieces jumped in on the fun!

and my big girl was so helpful :)

My gals LOVE LOVE LOVE playing with their little cousins so much....

until they crash from exhaustion! :) Wowzers it was fun!

The Weekend Report (Saturday)

On Friday night Minnie's friend asked if she wanted to be in the town light parade with her... of course!!! Husband and I were not sure if we were going to head down but Maddie needed a place to crash after the parade so Brad and Marisa could Christmas shop so we zipped Miss B down and hung out in the center of town for an hour or so...

She snagged free "hot" chocolate and onuts so she was super happy!

Been a LONG TIME since we've gone to the tree lighting...

but you add in a PARADE... and it was all KINDS OF fun! :)

Saw the Flaherty crew!

And then there was Minnie with her buds...

Pretty much how my photography goes when it is dark and there are Christmas lights...yikes!

but also hard taking pictures of 14 year old girls who are CONSTANTLY MOVING!

Thankful Sammy stopped long enough to snap one with Miss B

and probably the only picture with Santa :)

The parade went around the town green so we caught it again on the other side :)

and this time I got Miss B with Bella :)

and the backside of teen girls! :)

Came home with a bonus child, feed 'em all the snacks...

and sent 'em to bed!

FUN NIGHT FOR SURE!

It has begun....

and I have SO many words but not for here.... here I will just post pictures of my FAVORITE....

Wordless Wednesday: Scenes from Home

 

Women's Basketball

Way back... maybe August... September... we heard that the Indiana Women's Basketball team was coming to the "Big City" to play our University of Maine Women! It just happened to be 2 days after Minnie's birthday! I tell you this was the birthday that lasted for a MONTH! :)

So fun to see this team IN PERSON! Their "star" player is a girl from Gorham that Sky played against. No one wanted to guard her when it was Gorham vs. our high school so you KNOW who matched her up! :)

This girl right here in the Minnie/Miss B sandwich! So fun to watch!

Across the arena....

Windham Girl vs. Gorham Girl in the tip off

We thought the game was going to be an absolute BLOW-OUT but Maine did their work....

They were ahead the whole time until the VERY end... we scooted a few minutes early and this might have been my FAVORITE part of the WHOLE NIGHT....

We were just about the cross the street to head down to the car and Sky and one of the twins locked eyes as they were heading out of the arena.... all I heard behind me was girl SCREAMING and I turned around to see THE TWINS!! We had to snag a quick photo op! Could not believe the chances... we had no idea they were there and could not have planned the timing better if we'd tried... such a FUN night!
