A Rockin' December

Man, have we been rockin' and rollin' this month!

My girlfriends and I got together for dinner and an ornament exchange and had the most fun girls night out to date!  And I came home with a new pretty ornament, too:)

On December 1, Johnny the Elf came back!  We found him that morning taking a marshmallow bath.  He's such a goose.  The kids were stoked to find him and to read the note he left for them.

Maddie and her friend Chloe performed a little tap routine at the Wylie Arts Festival.

She did so good, too!

We finally made it to Top Golf and met Jackson's friend Cole and his parents.

It really was Jared's perfect night and I loved it, too.  Golf, great weather, college football on all around us, and good food and drinks with friends.  Doesn't get much better as far as we're concerned.

We keep finding Johnny all around our house.  He's always up to silly things, like getting into our chocolate chip cookies!

Guess he wanted to see what the Christmas story was all about, too.  We found him reading this book one morning with his buddies Bear and the Grinch.

We got to watch our first Christmas movie of the year the other night.  Rudolph!  It was a calm evening around here--so rare!

Then last Saturday night we all went out on the town.  Lila went to a Christmas party with Memaw and Poppi, Jackson and Maddie went to the Rockettes show with Gigi and Aunt Colleen...

and Jared and I did rode around town in this awesome limo celebrating Emily's 30th birthday! 
We really did feel like rockstars, for the night at least!

Jackson is also the Star Student of the Week, so we had to make a poster that encompassed his life.  How hard is that?!  Birth to present in half a poster board.  I could barely fit it all on a whole poster board, so that just had to do.  He's loving being the center of attention at school this week.
