the weekend wrapup

We had a really nice, festive weekend!
Friday evening, we had our Sunday school class Christmas party.

You may have noticed that my hair is a little darker. 
I switched to low lights for the winter and I'm loving it!
We are some cool cats and we play Bingo at our party!
My friend, Maegan has did the number calling two years in a row. She is such a hoot to listen to! We all laughed so much!
Thanks to my friend, Kelly, here are pictures of some of the couples who came to the party! 
I love our class!
Saturday morning, I had a honey do list for Tim! C Girl had choir rehearsal and the boys got to work while we were gone. Tim put Christmas lights up outside, did a little landscaping upkeep, helped me do a few things around the house, and he cleaned up the garage. It was a beautiful day and it felt so good to get those things accomplished! I know that we won't feel like doing much when the cold winter weather sets in.
I love the way our house looks with lights outside! This small thing really thrills our kiddos!
We watched football Saturday night gearing up for college playoffs season. That still sounds so strange!
Sunday morning, the children's choir was joining the adult choir for a few songs during our annual Sing Christmas musical program.
She loves to get dressed up and have her hair curled!
Our church is so beautiful at Christmastime!
Everyone did such a great job singing!
The full children's choir program was in the evening.
The kids did such a great job!
Tim took this photo of C Girl and I at Walmart because he thought we looked very festive!
We also ran into the real Santa at Walmart! ;-)
This guy is student of the week this week!

Tim and I went to Crystal Bridges last night while the kids were in Awana.
We were excited to see Maman (the giant spider sculpure) the Frank Lloyd Wright Bachman-Wilson House,  and Picturing the Americas: Landscape Painting from Tierra del Fuego to the Arctic.
It's just amazing having this in our town! We had a fun time!

Thanksgiving break happenings

 We had a very full Thanksgiving break! 
We had our own little Thanksgiving meal, decorated the house for Christmas, went to visit my mom, then stayed with my brother, and went to spend Thanksgiving with Tim's family. We stopped by Razorback stadium and checked out the Christmas lights at the Fayetteville and Bentonville squares on our way home!
It was my first outings since my surgery.
I did okay, but I'm still really sore.
I'm thankful for so many things and so happy that we had a wonderful holiday!
C Girl was such a huge helper this year!
We love Tim's tradition of hanging the Rudolph characters on our entry way chandelier.
C Girl helped with with making our pies this year!
Pecan pie is my favorite!
I love the glow of the Christmas tree!
We roasted Cornish game hens for our Thanksgiving meal.
Hitting the road to visit family!
This boy wanted biscuits and gravy since he had been sick for a few days prior.
Silly kids!
I love all of these guys!
Jessica and I went to watch Mockingjay Part 2! I'm so glad that we got to do something together!!!
We had a fun time visiting with grandma and Pop Pop!
Sweet cousins!
C Girl loves watching the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade!
We took some photos before we all went separate ways for Thanksgiving meals!
On our drive, we stopped by to photograph the home site where Tim's granny and grandad had lived. He has so many memories there!
B Boy played outside the entire time at Thanksgiving. He ended up being completely filthy! He had dirt all up and down his jeans and shirt!
There was a big spread of food and accidentally burned crescent rolls! 
Everything was good though!
the line for food!
Our annual Sparacino family photo!
We saw the glow from Razorback stadium miles away! 
We decided to go and check it out!
We drove down Dickson street in Fayetteville and the Lights of the Ozarks.
It was raining so we didn't get out, but we still got to enjoy the beautiful lights!
I loved the Razorback shaped lights!
We also stopped to see the lights at the Bentonville square! 
They added double the lights this year and I love it!
