First Week of December!

Love this action shot of Madi warming up for Tuesday night's practice! 
December 1:  Fred showed up with a new nutcracker for Madi's collection. 

Grandma Mayberry dropped off donuts for breakfast to kick off the countdown to Christmas!
And we have to countdown with Grandma and Grandpa  Heider's Advent calendar too!
Love seeing the good deeds NJHS officers are doing at school.
December 2:  Fred thought Madi needed these cute Christmas PJ pants!

December 3:  Fred left a lotto ticket and Madi won a dollar!
On Friday, I had a presentation at work to help others create a pipeline of teachers in rural communities. 

Matt and Tripp had their office Christmas party on Friday too.  This was too funny!
Friday night we went to a casino night fundraiser for our friends' volleyball teams. 
It was so much fun and for a good cause!
December 4:  Fred knows Madi loves these soft peppermint sticks!
This has become our place on Saturday afternoons . . . 
Sunday morning coffee . . . 
December 5:  Fred brought Madi cute Santa socks and lotion!
Sunday after church, Madi and I had NCL Mother/Daughter Tea. 
It was a fun event at the Lubbock Country Club where we watched a style show put on by the 9th grade class while we enjoyed tea, sandwiches and cookies. 
Love this girl and thankful we are in NCL for the next few years!
Grandma Mayberry brought by a fun nutcracker for Madi to paint herself. 
This will be quite the project! 
It has been a fun first week of December!

Thanksgiving 2021

We enjoyed heading to Jayton Wednesday night for Thanksgiving! 
We can't have Thanksgiving with these guys without playing games!
We laughed so hard when Cody brought out the 50lb bag of sugar for coffee that Shelle accidentally bought when she was ordering her groceries online.  Live and learn! 
Then we had Friends-giving later in the week with the Norris, Lewis and Devitt families!
While we were cooking the Lewises took the kids to a Men's TTU basketball game!


We had to take a picture of our first annual Friends-giving!





It was definitely a fun time and one we will be having again next year!

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!

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!
