Friends and more Friends!

Monday night, Madi had Maisen, Riley and Brynlynn over to spend the night. First, they went to the mall to eat and shop.  Then they painted canvases outside by the fire! 

Madi's been practicing her Christmas music for her upcoming recital but also because her teacher asked her to play Christmas songs at a Family Math night next week.

It's fun hearing all the beautiful Christmas songs as she practices. 

Tuesday night, we headed to Levelland to celebrate Breann turning forty!

We sure love celebrating Breann!

The dinner and cake were wonderful! 

It was a fun way to kickoff Thanksgiving break! 

NCL Cinderella!

We went to see Cinderella for Madi's NCL Cultural Event! 

Then on Monday Madi got her hair done again and we did a little shopping! 

She's been wanting some Doc Marten boots and we have a couple of events coming up so we went ahead and bought some!

 

Wreck 'em!

We finally made a Tech game!

And we tailgated!  So fun! 

She looks sad but she wasn't . . . just wanted to document the cute face tattoos! 

Tech didn't win but we had a great time! 

Tucker's 13th Birthday!

Tucker turns the big 1 - 3! 

We loved celebrating Tucker turning 13!

We finally finished decorating for Christmas . . . 

Madi even shared her Christmas Powerpoint, yes, Powerpoint, where she shared what she would like for Christmas!

Back at the office and laughing at our "masks!" 

Friday night we went to an alumni event before the game on Saturday!

Saturday we decided to enjoy the night at home instead of going to the game since I was going to be in Arkansas all week. 

I left Sunday during church for Arkansas.  These two went to church then enjoyed a Madi/Daddy nail appointment that afternoon!

I facetimed these two when I could . . . even when they were having a breakfast date!

University of Central Arkansas campus was beautiful . . .

Friday night was Girls Night at church . . . 

Friday morning was FCA!

It was a great week but I was so thankful to be back home Friday night!

A lot of Firsts!

Love when Tripp joins us for dinner and a little math homework on Monday nights! 

Tuesday, November 2nd was the first time we used our fire place in the new house!

I'm so thankful for our hearth so I can sit by the fire and warm up!

Tuesday was also Madi's first club volleyball practice!

Grandma Mayberry was sweet and dropped off donuts for Madi Wednesday morning. 

Thursday I went to Big Spring for work and we got to take a picture with their mascot! 

Friday was FCA and Madi's youth pastor Trevor spoke at her school. 

Friday night we did a little Christmas decoration shopping for the new house. 

Umm . . . no sweet girl! 

Love lazy Saturday mornings outside drinking coffee by the heater!

Off to the movies - just Madi and her Daddy Saturday morning!

Saturday night we had over the Lewises, Foleys, Devitts and Norrises.  We loved the Texas shaped chips from HEB.

Sunday we took pictures of the ofrenda that Madi made for her Great Aunt Bevy in Spanish class with Elora and Kiran by her gravesite.  

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at our house! 

Not quite done, but it's super fun decorating a new house for Christmas! 

We had a little more to do, but we're getting there!

Madi went to a fun selfie birthday party for MJ Sunday afternoon before volleyball practice. 

Then this guy joined us again on Monday night! 

I could get used to that!
