Friday Favorites: The One With The Random Christmas Fun

Yay Friday!!! 

I was going through my phone deleting pictures to make room for more Christmas fun, and figured I should just post a ton of random photos from the last few weeks.  

*Update from last post*
We don't know the gender of Little G #2 quite yet.  When we went in last week my doctor was out with the flu.  I was totally bummed! BUT, we got to hear the heartbeat for the first time, I got some meds to stop an infection we caught early, we received the first set of genetic screening blood work and all looks well with little one.  So it wasn't a waste of a morning after all.  We are scheduled for the anatomy scan January 9th.  So not too much longer to wait!

Onto all the crazy of the past few weeks...


Playing with some Santa window clings.  Brynn is ALL about Santa this year!

Speaking of...


Last Tuesday was Brynn's Christmas program at school. They sang "Away in a Manger." She now sings it at the top of her lungs...and all the time.  Like when you think she sound asleep all the time.  It's both startling and cute to wake up to. 


These pictures of B and Miss E make my day! They love each other so much!










What-A-Burger after her program. I've started craving gravy lately...I think I need some now actually...

When we got home from the program I ended up getting sick, isn't it great how being pregnant makes any type of sickness a hundreds times worse?  And I'm still fighting off this cold/sinus infection. 
It. Won't. Go. Away. 


My little cheeser on PJ day!

Last Friday, Jonathan took Brynn to his office Christmas party and she came home with this snowman.  She has taken such good care of it this week...feeding it, wrapping it in another scarf, letting it take naps.  It's so special to watch her grow and learn.  




Speaking of growing and learning...

...she has started climbing out of her crib (big girl bed after Christmas for sure! I'm excited to rearrange and organize her room!)

...she has started yelling, "MORGAN!" from her crib when she wants me. 

...says "I hungry for eat" when she wants a snack and I don't see me ever correcting her because that's just too cute!

...she saw a pink car at Sonic the other day and now every time we go (which is every day. There. I said it.) she talks about seeing it. 

...her memory is INCREDIBLE.  Jonathan and I are amazed at what she can recall. We've been adding a new name of Jesus ornament to her tree every night and reviewing the previous ones.  She's able to tell us the name of most of them without prompting.  


But a few come out in "Brynn speak" and make us laugh so hard! Instead of "Lion of Judah" she says "Lion of Cheetah"


And instead of "Living Water" she says "Waterin' the plants" HA! We look forward to it every night!

On Saturday we all felt well enough for a little holiday outing to Holland Gardens.  If you live in or around Lubbock you should definitely check it out! It's been a while since I have been, so I was super impressed with all the decorations there were to see. 





We missed Santa by 10 minutes.  Boo!



Brynn's ornament for the year is Mary Poppins! 

I let her hold it as long as she sits right by the tree.  She sat like this for about 15 minutes Wednesday afternoon just looking at it. 




Yesterday we decided to get out of the house for the day! I could stay home all day everyday.  Brynn loves to see "everybody!" and "Not go home yet, Momma!" So we got dressed in our Christmas gear and went to visit Grams at her new work, Pops at his office, had a Taco Villa picnic at home, and then she went to Aunt DeAnns for the afternoon while I finished Christmas shopping!




This girl is all about the "burri-yo."


I'm so looking forward to Saturday! It's a Mills family baking, playing, & light seeing day. Yay!

Happy Friday!

Friday Favorites: The One With My Classroom, KEEP, and Some "Brynn Says"

Welcome Friday.  I love you.

It has been one crazy week at the Garner house; prepping for school, joining KEEP-Collective, and just day to day life has got me ready for a looooong nap!

One

Last night we had Open House at SNS and it was SO great!! I have 12 of the cutest, sweetest, silliest, smartest new Gigantic Giraffes and I cannot wait for this year! If you chose a number when I posted this...


...now is a great time to start praying for you kiddie! We start school on Tuesday. 

I've spent the last few weeks of nap time like this...


...and group texting my 4s teacher friends.  I don't know how we get anything done! I sent them this pic and got the response of, "wait...where are you standing!?" Yea, I stood on the couch for this picture. #AnythingForTheBlog 

Here is a sneak peak into my classroom. 


My incredibly talented Aunt DeAnn cut this giraffe out of foam for me and I painted him.  I plan on changing the background and props with the seasons.  Hims cute! ;)


A majority of my classroom decorations were made/bought my 2nd year of teaching in public school, they've definitely been worth the money!

And notice the Sonic cup. You can find a large sweet tea in that spot pretty much every Tuesday and Thursday. 



On the polka dot papers are the scripture for the month, sight word, and letter of the week. 

While we were waiting for Open House to start Brynn wanted to play with the pointers.  She so kindly shared them with Evan and Beth.  And according to my husband, she threw a gigantic fit when he tried to take it away.  #oopsie



SNS is one of my FAVORITE places.  It has blessed my family in more ways than I can say.  My co-workers, kids, and the church staff make this such an encouraging and happy place to be! I had 6 of my old kids come visit me tonight and it made my heart so full!! 

TWO

Sunday night we had an Ice Cream party at church to kick off back to school and the start of One Groups.  Whoever decorated with balloons is now Brynn's FAVORITE! 



Brynn and her friend, Oliver. 


She had to have an orange "bah-loon!"

We LOVE our church.  We finally got involved in small groups last year and are so glad we did.  Our group is my FAVORITE and if you need one...join us!!

THREE

Monday we visited J at his office. 


Brynn went into "MINE!" mode.  She claimed the chair, water, computer, and a stress ball.  



We love you Daddy! 


Then we met Pops and Aunt Reagan at Red Robin for lunch. 

 Red Robin is a new FAVORITE. If you or your kids have food allergies...this is the place to go! They were so careful and considerate of Brynn.  We will be here often! Thanks to my friend Amy for the recommendation! #AllergyMomsUnite 

B woke up from her nap with the BEST hair. 



Sweets. 

FIVE

Tuesday we opened this ice cream play set from her friend, Elizabeth.  I've been spreading out opening up her birthday presents.  


It has a little bottle of raspberry sauce and chocolate sauce.  She calls the chocolate sauce, "Bar-B-Que Sauce." I mean...FAVORITE!

SIX

She was staring at the sun on the way home from church Wednesday.  Jonathan told her not to look right at it so she covered her eyes.

HA!


We turned B's car seat last week and it's her FAVORITE! She comments on everything and it's so interesting to see what she notices.  She LOVES windmills and can spot them from miles away. She often says, "Whats's that noise!?" when a truck or motorcycle goes by. We were at a stop sign and there were some really tall weeds next to it and she said, "mow the grass!" Ha! How does she even know that?

SEVEN

On Tuesday, I posted this...



I am still praying that I'm not in over my head with this! I know how annoying it can be to have your Facebook spammed with direct sales.  I promise I won't do that! 

I NEVER thought I would be doing something like this.  But I truly love the product, and the doors it could open for our family couldn't be ignored. I've felt God moving in me to step outside of my comfort zone and this was a huge step! 

If you'd like to shop, host an online party, or just browse you can through this link.  


I should get my kit in next week and am SOOOO excited! If you are local and want to see the product in person, we can make that happen!

Here are some of my FAVORITE KEEP looks right now!


Necklace Keepers! 
Rose gold. For sure! 



#TexasForever 


Bold stripes? FAVORITE! 


#PrettyPastel 

And I'll leave you with this...


Gilmore Girls. FAVORITE. 

Happy Friday my friends!
