Happy New Year filled with less...

I think we did December right. 

We sat down, we read books, sipped coffee, ate delicious food with incredible people.  

We laughed, a lot. We danced. We made memories.  

We started jobs and got promotions. We enjoyed the glow of the lights.  

We filled our cups and our buckets, our glasses and our souls with just enough. 

Happy New Year filled with less...because I'm all for finding joy in the little things.

Remember November

NOVEMBER

I think it was fun.  It just ended yesterday.  

What happened? Where did it go? 

Lydia and I enjoyed a coffee date before her friend's roller skating party!

Spent some time at some soccer games.

First Reconciliation at Prince of Peace!

So proud of how brave she was. 

You could tell it was tough for her but she saw it through.

Happy Thanksgiving from St. Charles!

And Happy 8th Birthday Jillian!

Lydia had a craft and create day with Nana!

She rocked the Veteran's Day program.  

So proud of her courage and preparation.  Take that anxiety!  

She practiced, role played, talked through her emotions and she nailed it.  

 

October had some good times...and I'll tell you more about ADHD and Anxiety later.

The Renaissance Festival did not disappoint! 

We went with the best of friends, played all the games, 

watched all the shows and met mermaids and fairies. 

Lydia and the Brownie Troop went on a hayride at Shawnee Mission Park. 

The girls love this activity and all the sugary melted marshmallows afterwards.

Dan and I celebrated 11 years in downtown Shawnee.

A flight at Servaes Brewery and dinner at the Castle.

Halloween did not disappoint!

Lydia braved her way through the school parade and had a great party.

We went to Jam BOO Ree at the park that same evening.

Costumed up again for Trunk or Tree and Oktoberfest at church.

Then we hit the pavement for trick or treating on Monday.

Her hair is still orange and pink, by the way.
