December 23rd (Mama's Sick)

So I went to bed last night with a little bit of a sore throat but thought it was just drainage! Well I woke up with my throat hurting A LOT!! So I called Nick so he could come home and I got a doctors appointment! My doctor thinks it is a sinus infection?? I tested negative for Strep. So I got an antibiotic so I can feel better for Christmas!! Ugh but my throat is the worst!! 

December 22nd (Baking/RP Playground Playdate)

This morning we got to baking!!
Adelyn making Mexican Hot Chocolate Snickerdoodle cookies all by herself!
I made 50 sugar cookies.
I love this picture of the dog and cat! 
One in and one out! Ha.
Ella playing while we bake.

The Chocolate Mexican Cookies.
Yummy puppy chow.
Chicken Fajita Soup!! 
Peanut butter Hershey kisses!
Fudge...don't know if it will turn out? 
This afternoon around 1:30 we met friends up at the RP Playground to have ice cream treats and play in the nice 60 degree weather!
Kenna, Taylor, Addie, and Riley.
The boys shot is them rolling down the hill.
Ella had a treat earlier before we came so she was off and playing with her car!

Gang of kids!
We stayed and played for a few hours. Then it got colder with the wind getting stronger!
Nice time getting together!! Glad these kids could get some energy out!!
Not looking forward to colder weather coming in.

 

December 21st (New Earrings/Library/Grandma Judy Gifts/Margarita's/Max's 3rd B-day/Erin's House)

I got some new earrings from Mindy again today!! Ugh she has so many cute one's. I had her make me these cute sparkling red hearts, plus I got some others. lol!
I bought this cute Christmas Story Wine cover from Kohl's since I had Kohl's cash that I needed to use.
Ran errands this morning. Then the girls and I went to the Library for books along with some playing since it was 60 degrees out! (Side Note: Adelyn didn't want to play on playground since there were too many kids! Ugh well I made her sit and read her book while Ella played!!)
This afternoon the girls got Target gift cards from my Grandma Judy in the mail!! Thanks!! Early Christmas Present!!

Dinner tonight at Margarita's!
We haven't been coming a lot since they don't have there specials anymore because of Covid, so it's a little bit more expensive like double!! Ha. It was delicious though!!
We ran home to get Max's present to deliver to him. Jeff and Sasha have had Covid so they aren't having a party for him!!
We got him this orange car that is like Ella's blue one!! He was being shy around us since we haven't gotten together because of Covid.
Look at his cool ride in car he got from his parents! Wow is like a space ship!
We stayed for a little while then headed home so I could go get Sarah and head to Erin's!
After chatting for an hour or so we got our drinks and headed out the door to walk Erin's neighborhood to see the Christmas Lights!
Love these ladies!
This one is so pretty!
We saw quite a few then the grand finale!! So cool!!


Me and April.
This house has soooo many lights!

Erin and Sarah.





This house was really pretty also!!
Great night chatting with friends and catching up!! Got home around 10! Now I just want to relax before these next few nights of Christmas Fun!
 

December 20th (New Microwave/Christmas Lights)

Well our microwave went out about a week ago. Nick was home so he was able to find one at Lowes and install it for us! yay!
After dinner we went to the Olathe Community Center to see the lights!
I love their lights the last few years, it's like a mini Sar Ko Park.
Ella is off and running down the path to the lights.
She found her favorite color to stand by.

We found someone to take our picture..thanks! 

Soooo pretty!!
Selfie time!



Love the reflection!!
New drum in the middle with a tree.
Nice having an older daughter able to take our picture for a change.
Then we decided to drive to the Ridgeview Neighborhood with all the lights!
Last year it wasn't as good but this years were great and funny!!
TRUMP!!! HaHa!
This one was decked out, almost like Christmas Vacation!
Hawaiian House.
Christmas Story House with the leg lamp in the window!! Hahaha. My favorite!!
Then there was this truck that was seriously like a monster truck...how crap?? How do you even get up there??
Great family time looking at Christmas Lights!
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
