Hello and Happy Monday.
Well, after a very busy weekend, I’m thankful for a short school week this week.
I’m linking up with Holly and Sarah for:

…to share a little catch up with Life Lately.

We’ve been busy over the past couple of weeks, and here’s what we’ve been up to…
Both Travis and Hayden received all area recognition to wrap up the middle school cross country season which was an honor for both of them.
Hayden (& Travis) have continued with club season. Hadley joined them last weekend in the bitter cold temps as they ran the track at Bellarmine. Our nephew’s club team hosted a memorial run for Trav’s dad. Both kids did great and those races are always fun to watch…even in the cold temps with snow on the ground.

That same Saturday, one of Hadley’s best friends had her 13th birthday party at Kroger Field as the CATS played Vandy. Instead of “Big Blue Saturday,” I joked that it was “Big Brrr Saturday.” 😂 They had a scavenger hunt with 13 clues to do around the stadium. How fun is that? Such a great idea.
One of the clues was a photo with the cheerleader which Hadley thought was so fun.

Hadley’s volleyball season has continued these past few weeks. These girls are so fun to watch! They improve with each game and cheer each other on.
Hadley played one of her best friend’s teams, and it was fun to see her (and her mom!) and catch up.

My brother’s family has a new addition:
Meet Tilly! She’s a cutie.

On Friday night, we went to a charity gala for the Ronald McDonald House. I think we all know what an amazing organization this is, and nothing will help you count your blessings more than hearing the stories of so many thankful families.
We had a wonderful night with our friends for a great cause.

I got this dress from Red Dress Boutique and love it. Green and black appear to be sold out, but red would be perfect for any holiday party you have to attend.
Hadley has these same heels in nude, and I picked up the glitter/gold option. This purse was the perfect touch and holds so much! It’s my new “go to” clutch for sure.

We celebrated the kids as much as possible yesterday. We officially have two teenagers in the house!

…and they didn’t even take a break on their birthday.
Hayden had a basketball tournament (& played three games yesterday)…
…while Hadley had her Winter Showcase for her dance studio.

We were able to go out to dinner and have cake (with cousins) last night.

Shew! Yesterday was non-stop, but the kids had a great day.
What was the highlight of your weekend? See you back here tomorrow!

That snowy track field looks so cold! I know they warm up, but wow. I love your dress from the gala! I love going to things like that…any time to dress up is a fun night, in my opinion. I’m so glad Hadley and Hayden had a great birthday doing what they love! The stand out from my weekend was being out on Saturday with my mom and sister. We had a great time together!

What a fun and busy weekend! I spent most of my time working in my craftroom and finishing up all our holiday cards, then set up two of the 3 trees; which we’ll decorate on Friday.

Thankfully, I was able to get most of my decorations up throughout the week. After such a hectic weekend, I’m thankful that is crossed off my list. I can’t wait for holiday cards to start arriving 🙂
