While we were planning and gearing up for our family Christmas, here are some special times in between!
Elle hosted her first Christmas party with her girls!! They had so much fun with their own personal driver on the Pedal Pub!! The girls sang their hearts to the playlists, while enjoying the downtown lights, and even stopped for drinks at Cafe 3:16!
The same night we had our neighbor Christmas party. The only pic I have is from neighbor Tammy finding the boys cuddled up on Maddie and Ed's couch watching basketball!
The girls got home and it was sleepover time! Maybe just over...no sleep. :)
Rise and shine, sweet girls!
Elle wrapped up her basketball season at Greg Grant! She found this gem of a picture on their website!
Elle is also having fun on her new travel soccer team! Go, Nationals!!
I pull into the driveway from work and Drew had just gotten off the bus and was bringing up the garbage on his own. These sweet moments are magic!
After soccer practice, the girls exchanged their Secret Santa gifts!
The next morning, a cold, early morning soccer game at the OU dome!
Luke having his own fun too with his buddies!
Elle and Elin off with their 7th grade class to see A Christmas Carol at Oakland University!
Ellie at a hotel birthday party with her girls!
Speaking of fun. There is NOTHING better than time with my banchies!! Kate had to scootch out a tad early after lunch at Honcho's. However, once the three of us got to Rochester Corner Bar, that was it. The BEST. Talking until 4:30 in the am with these girls is a piece of home only they can bring.
Ben and Luke finally squeezed in their annual basketball game! Dad got him again with a final score of 12-10!
Elle and Ben meeting up with Pat and Laney for a women's MSU bball game!
Starbucks on the way to EL!
LOVE that our girls have a sweet friendship!
On the jumbotron!
Bowling with the McClelands for Sawyer's birthday!
Ben saw the Amon Ra cake downtown and I swear they were one of the firsts to see the cake!
Our team. 💙Ben has coached this team for 3 years now! We love these boys and their families!
Love is matching Nike socks. :)
Movies to see Mufasa! All three of us cried.
Our sweet boy gets home from a hang out and my heart melts. Luke is getting so big and I just love him so much.
Even Caleb listens in to all of Luke's shenanigans from the night. :)
The Holiday break we all needed. Our hearts are full!
