Happy Hour
There seems to be something going on, always, around here. I can't believe it took us, like EIGHT YEARS, of living in this sub-division to find the fun! This was a Friday afternoon impromptu Happy Hour down at the Moore's house. Kids riding bikes and playing Simon Says, parents in the driveway chillin'. 2 hours and then on to the evening. Perfect start to a weekend!

My birthday. 34 years!
My birthday was on a Sunday this year. Nice and low key! It started first thing in the morning with a visit from my friends Amy, Becky, Shannon and Lisa. Good lawdy were they there bearers of fine gifts! I got a killer purse from Charming Charlie! Some Bath & Body Works, a customized wine glass made by Shannon, a couple of bottles of wine and best of all....an hour sitting in my family room with great friends enjoying mimosas!

Chandler Parade of Lights
After Tay's dance show, me, Memaw and Taylor beelined it to downtown Chandler to try and catch the parade of lights. Sanborn Dad's Club submitted a float, and Conal and the girls had been working on it. So Hayden was there, decked out in her jammies and Santa hat to ride the 'Polar Express'! We made it just in time! Time enough that we threw Tay on the float too!
Tay's Winter Dance Show
Taylor had her very first dance show on December 4th. In the weeks leading up to it, she swore she was not going to participate...just stand there. I decided to quit fighting it (she's VERY pig-headed!), and just "yes" her to death! She had no idea what to expect, what a dance show/recital even entailed. Her class spent 6 weeks learning a dance, but none of them knew it very well. Much to my delight (not surprise), she was the little girl, front and center; taking a bow before and after, Clueless...yet having a ball!
Now she's trying to convince me for tumbling classes and singing lessons. I think she's seeing stars in her future!

Pumpkin Pie Party
I attended my last pumpkin pie party at St. Tim's preschool! This year, the kids put on a little show. Off-key, quirky and adorable!
