Toohig Tidbits: December

 


The elves are back!




We came out to the garage one morning to go to school, and this huge bug was on HG's window. 


She tried to shoo it with her boot, but then it flew AT her! I've never seen the girls run that fast before!



I have to be sneaky to get pics of HG these days. This was on the way to school one day.



Bribery for running errands with mama


Cress loves to write on this calendar. This is from the week of Thanksgiving break.





Mary Oliver sent me this pic of Minecraft cuddles while John and I were out one night.


HG's soccer team was recognized at a fall pep rally



Cressey's room mom let her start off the 12 days of Christmas for teachers' gifts. Donuts are always a hit!




Clingy at a new level (inside my shirt)


We love Bee









Worn out after the Nutcracker, bun and all













She loves this eye massager


Last night with Sydney before she gets MARRIED!







Clingy again





Christmas pajama and movie day!




John's work Christmas party at the Botanic Garden












Cressey discovered HG's old rollerblades, and it's been a new obsession



Another Christmas party. I asked HG to take a pic of me and John in front of the tree. Cress wanted to be included too. This is the pic she took...



Cress, let's try that again!





You can really see his dark brown here...














The December birthdays party







They loved opening this Advent calendar each morning







Do you see....???









After junior high exams one day, HG's buddies came home with us for a bit



Love seeing all these saddle oxfords


Look what came in the mail!!!!



Christmas book swap at school







Gotta be as close as possible






Vaco Christmas party





Peppermint, Cressey's classroom elf, found herself in a jar one day!






Feeling cute with day after Vaco-Christmas-party-hair


Serving a meal at the Memphis Union Mission with Melissa and Lawson


Decorating gingerbread mem with Rachel



Dinner with the Rebicks...have you heard of raclette??





Cressey made a card for Bubba's birthday...this is all our people...four of us, GD, Spiffer, Grandma...


And the queen, Bubba!


Teenager


Happy 99th birthday to Bubba!







Congrats to Jess for finishing her masters- surprise!


I went to a surprise party for Jess and came home to find this...












A "burrito"



Spiffer, GD, HG, and Cress helped me with Christmas cards





Happy first birthday to Sunny!! What joy you've brought to our lives!






Julia just had a baby sister, so we entertained her one afternoon to give her mama a break! Painting pottery with Ava








Our sweet neighbors and schoolmates, the Brunos, asked us over to decorate Christmas cupcakes



For a few nights in a row over the holidays, Cressey asked me to sit in the living room with her and watch Among Us videos on YouTube. Random, but she'd cuddle and eventually fall asleep. So I'd watch the videos!








Christmas Eve cooking help!





Our sweet neighbors invited us to a special holiday event on the 23rd. HG knew what was coming, but we kept it quiet with Cress. As we walked down the street and then Cress saw the carriage and SANTA, she started jumping up and down. So much fun!




I can't stand that little hand cuteness



Santa even had gifts for each kiddo!





Cress and I made this snowflake, and C wanted to hang it here. Sunny couldn't help himself!



The day after Christmas, we met the Browns for dinner at Babalu and then checked out Zoo Lights. It was a beautiful night and so much fun!



























William came to visit for a few days! I love how he loves to embarrass HG!


We took him to the drive through safari park, and it did not fail to provide endless animal licks and belly laughs!  


























When big sis goes to Ulta, little sis gets a treat too.



When C and I dropped something at the UPS box in John's parking lot, we waved hello at daddy who snapped this pic of us down below.


Big girl



They texted each other for an hour probably, HG helping Cress read and write it all. So cute.



Starry Nights after Christmas is where it's at. No waiting at all.






We went to Jackson for a quick visit on the 30th





New Year's Eve






Goodbye, 2021; hello, 2022! Please be nice to us!
