Thanksgiving to Christmas Eve Recap

Happy Thanksgiving, 2022!! We celebrated ALL that we are thankful for up in TC with Papa and Gma Cooley!!

The three of us took a walk around the new Boardmen River walk downtown!

Drew and Luke to make a fence out of snow...

Listening to Papa's stories is a crowd favorite.

And so is Grandma's dessert!

A special gift from Gma to Drew.

A series of him playing baseball!

This is how we feel about Thanksgiving!

Ben drove up to our Elementary school and saw Drew and his buddies playing football...

Then noticed they had cheerleaders cheering them on...Oy vey.

November 30th will always be Wildcat Remembrance Day for us. Sweet Tate, Hanna, Madisyn, and Justin.

We made the decision to make it a quick trip to Lowe's for our tree. Tree farm, we are coming back for you next year! But we got a beaut!

Luke has practice daily after school until 4:15 with games on Tuesdays and Thursdays! Ben is on the book for each of his games and I'm cheering my heart out in the stands! Go Hart and #4!

Two of my work besties and one of them always keeps us on our toes! During a meeting she was called into an emergency appt. at Rose Cancer Center at Royal Oak, Beaumont. We all hopped in the car and off we went. After a clear ultrasound, the Dr. gave us beautiful handmade hats to wear back to school proudly together. 

This is MY favorite spot in the whole house. So naturally, it became everyone else's favorite spot too!

Winter break means lots of time for games! Our first original Monopoly game as family of 5! ( We did not finish)

They are feeling all the holiday spirit!
