Ro girl taped up a box to wrap. 😊

Two of her favorite things are crafting and wrapping gifts for others. ❤️ Oh, and tape. Tape might be her very favorite thing.

Some recent-ish thrifted things:

A $1 framed Christmas cross-stitch

Lemon Federalist ironstone sugar, creamer, and for cups - paid $2 for all of it

2 floral napkins that were either 25 or 50 cents each, can’t remember.

Did a sort of Icelandic Christmas Book Flood at our co-op today (we’re diving into a Christmas Around the World study for the next few weeks). The kids drew names a few weeks ago and found the perfect books for each other, many of which were thrifted. It was simple, but so special.

Rowyn woke up and made @Mtt a cannonball first thing this morning.

Stopped by my dad’s for the night Friday night on our way home from Missouri. Left there with 2 dozen eggs Saturday morning. Cooked almost half of them last night for dinner. 🥚🍳👍

New Kindle case to match my new Kindle 😍 (Both thanks to @Mtt ❤️)

Another fave family game: Skyjo. We played before bedtime last week on B’s birthday.

I’m mom of a birthday boy this week.

Surprised him with coffee alongside his choice of eggs and venison sausage for breakfast.

He requested alligator at Prejean’s for lunch, so we went and they celebrated him too. 🎇

After baseball practice, we had pancakes and more sausage (by request) + gifts.

It was a beautiful, moody morning.

Since I seemingly started a photo series of games played with the kids before bed (here and here), here’s another. Phase 10 last night. Me and B.
