Holiday Cheer and a little Kinfolk

So we've  been a little absent here lately, taking in some quality family time. Mike was able to go back to work a couple days ago but couldn't because of a few forms he was waiting in from his doctor. I didn't complain, I love having him home and the boys get excited when he surprises and pics them up at school.

I LOVE his beard and want it to keep it forever.

This week there has been nothing but holiday cheer everywhere we look! My classroom is dripping with Christmas lights, 'A She and Him' Christmas album, rocking out the the '12 Days of Christmas' and glitter all over everything! It's wild and crazy and everyone is happy.

yes, I wore reindeer antlers on Monday...oh, Kindergarten life.

Last night I had some of my best girlfriends over for cookies, tea and treats with a little mix of our kids playing sword fights in between. It was perfect, my heart was full and I we all ended the night with lots of laughter and fellowship. Sadly, I was having too much fun to take any pictures worth sharing.

Tonight Noah had his winter music performance. He got a new outfit that will be for Christmas too, Logie wanted one also.

Tomorrow Mike and I get to...GO ON A DATE!! Ok, so it's a date so we can get the boys the rest of their gifts. But I'm sure we'll get some peppermint mochas, cruise the town and hold hands a bit...yah! I feel 15 again. Our friend is coming over to make gingerbread houses with the boys so it's a win-win.

One thing before I go...have you bought all your gifts yet? If not a perfect gift is the amazing magazine called 'Kinfolk'. It's very affortable, has warm and cozy pictures and articles all inspiring surrounded around the concept of small gatherings with appreciation for the outdoors. I JUST LOVE IT!! I would love to contribute one day, but until then go out and check out their online journal and magazine! 

***11 Days 'till a (hopefully white) Christmas!
