Happy New Year!

21st Celebration

Growing up, my mom always made my birthday special, no matter how old I got. I always had a cake, a birthday card, and gifts to open. I have continued this tradition with my own family, but I take it a step further. 😀 Every celebration has some sort of theme for the cake and the gifts. LOL! 

This year for my daughter, it was a Venti theme from the game Genshin Impact. Happy 21st Birthday Skye!!

Happy Birthday Daughter!

Happy 21st Birthday to my beautiful, amazing sweet girl!!! 🎂 Twenty-one years!! Where has time gone? Such a beautiful and kind soul she is and I am so proud of her!!! Love you lots sweetie!!

 

I hope you have had a great Christmas and fun Birthday day!!! Tomorrow we go to Six Flags! 😊

 

 

Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!! 🎄 I am running on fumes. LOL! I think I got maybe two hours of sleep before I heard the not so littles talking downstairs while I am sure browsing through their stockings. We enjoyed some family time opening presents and talking about our new projector and screen that we now have to replace our outdated TV. Afterwards, we hopped on Autcraft to get our presents and advent gifts. By 3pm I was almost falling out of my chair. So I did something that is rare - I took a two hour nap! 😁 My hubby made homemade meatloaf for Christmas dinner and it wa delicious. Tomorrow we celebrate our daughter.

Santa Claus

Well, here it is going on 5am in the morning and where am I? Dancing on TTD3! I should be sleeping since Santa has already made his stop. Funny though, now know where Santa is when he takes breaks between delivering gifts!! 😂

Autcraft - Christmas Eve Day

Earlier when it was still Christmas Eve day, we hopped on Autcraft for the annual reading of 'Twas The Night Before Christmas. We got our little book, some hot cocoa, and sat down for story time. Afterwards, we went and collected our little advent gifts. I visited Santa in the Christmas Village. LOL!

 

Did you know that this poem is over 200 years old? It was first published anonymously in December of 1823. 😉

 

 

Decorating the Tree

We have kinda done everything late this year, from putting out the yard decorations for Christmas to, to decorating the tree. LOL! Our tree has been up for a couple of weeks but we finally got it decorated!! 

Fortnite - Winterfest

Tis' the Season to play Fortnite! LOL! It' a wintery wonderland right now and we have been having quite a bit of fun playing as the Candycane Mafia. 😂

 

Outside Christmas Decorations

We finally got a few Christmas decorations out and lights on the house. LOL! It's a bit late, but better late than never. T and the hubby did most of it. My favorites are still the flamingos. 😄

 

 

Yes, yes I do.

 

Sad Day

Today was heartbreaking to watch. I was in the kitchen around 1 PM having a conversation with my son and daughter about this series that my daughter and I have been watching on Hulu called The Food that Built America. We were discussing the merger between Fritos and Lays when my son's attention was caught by a police car that had pulled up across the street from the corner house diagonally across from us. The officer got out of his vehicle and was looking around the property when another police car showed up. Both officers started looking around the property and then went to the front door. They knocked and knocked. An older couple lived there and had for over 20 years. The more we watched, the more I started thinking this had turned into a welfare check. My husband was still asleep but I woke him up to ask when he had seen the couple last. The man had just taken his flag in the house within the last week, so it had not been that long. My husband got up and dressed and all of us stayed in the kitchen watching out the window. The police finally made entry into the house but almost immediately came back out. The next thing we know FIRE shows up, then MedStar. Something was definitely wrong. 😶

After a few minutes, MedStar pulls away, and then FIRE leaves. A red SUV pulls up and at first we thought it may have been family, but then saw the glint from the sun revealing firearms and badges. Detectives had made the scene. They started walking around the property and speaking with the officers. All of them entered the house gloved up. FIRE comes back and this time a couple of them had on respirators and tanks. Two more vehicles pulled up and when one of the doors opened, it said Tarrant County Sheriff. The other vehicle said medical examiner. They got out and immediately gloved up and stepped inside the house. They came back and out started videoing the property and taking more pictures. This went on for hours with all different scenarios playing through our heads, but one thing was certain and that our neighbors had been found deceased. 😔 Another vehicle pulls up and backs into the driveway. When the gurneys were pulled out, a wave of sadness came over me and I shed a few tears. It was heartbreaking to watch for all of us, especially my daughter.

 

Minecraft Experience

Thanks so much to my sister for getting us tickets!! We had a fantastic time today visiting the Minecraft Villager Experience out in Plano!! They did an awesome job and it was quite fun!! 😊 Everyone was wearing their Minecraft shirts or hoodies! LOL! I wore my Technoblade shirt in remembrance of Alex. 

 

Afterwards we met my sister for lunch at El Fenix! Cheers to you mom!!! I can't believe we didn't get any pictures! Bummer!

 

Happy December 1st!

Welcome December!!! Wishing everyone a wonderful and blessed month!!
