Did they win?

 I caved at about 8pm December 1st. They could have decorated weeks earlier. I still think I won. 

Are you like me and decorate after Thanksgiving?

My Sport Kid.

 E has been to a few football games. Z has been jealous. A wonderful friend who heard me talking about Z’s desire to  go to a BYU Football game called me last minute to offer us tickets. It had been a full day and it was freezing, but I couldn’t say no to free tickets. 

The marching band is always by favorite, and a good football game is always a good time. A kid who makes it through the whole game even if I felt like my toes were frostbit, was priceless. 

E wanted to leave by half time, Z made it to the end. I think I know who will be my sports buddy!

Go to movies…

 

Moana 2 was so good. I love going to movies that are uplifting and entertaining. I also love family time. We all went and were joined by a nephew. Having extended family around is a true blessing. 

Thankful

 I am more thankful thank this would suggest:

I’m blessed in so many ways. I get paid to do things I enjoy: lift weights, meditate, play sports, ride bikes, and laugh with teens(or at?)

I have built a wonderful family with a wonderful man:

 I live in a good community in a cozy house:

I know I am a daughter of God who is loved and watched out for. 

I live in a free country surrounded amazing by amazing people. So. Much. To. Be. Thankful. For. 

Nickels

Do not be deceived by names like Nickel City or Nickel Mania if a child ever asks you to take them there. What sounds like a cheap place to go for entertainment is not so. Yes, the games are measured in nickels but if you want to entertain for more than 2 minutes you’re going to need a lot more nickels than you’d think. This outing took over 800 nickels. 

But this girl got to play a game she has been thinking about for over a month, so maybe it was worth it?
