Moms take kids to Branson

Whoop whoop- ha! 

The men went to south Texas to hunt so we loaded up the kids and got a big VRBO house and made our own fun. Alecia got sick and couldn’t join us but the McBride boys came with us and we had lots of fun. We did the Dixie stampede, an indoor park / zip line place, but our most fun was Marci’s idea. We went to a (cool) flea market and each spent up to $5 on a gift and then had a dirty Santa gift exchange. We laughed so hard. The kids loved picking out weird and creepy gifts but didn’t seem to remember that is what they’d also be getting in the game. Some shed tears over it but we had to remind them it was just for fun. Hilarious. Then we made a group tick tock dance video and did the see saw challenge unsuccessfully. We had more fun than we expected! 

Ikey lost a tooth

Isaac lost his first tooth- a bottom one. I got to pull it and he was so proud, he made me text Ms. Roberson immediately to tell her. He looks so cute.  The note his sister wrote to the tooth fairy was especially cute too. 

Duck camp

Franklin joined a duck camp with friends this year and we went and spent a little time down there after thanksgiving. The kids loved riding in the ranger and playing in the wide open spaces. 

Thanksgiving in Fayetteville

We spent thanksgiving eve in Fayetteville this year. We went to see the lights on the square and Ikey got a pony ride which is always a favorite of mine. 

We drove down to spend thanksgiving day at Meme and Grandpas and then went over for leftovers at Mammers that night in our pjs. Good stuff. I didn’t get any pictures from thanksgiving day this year though. 

Girls and momma sleepover

Nora and I got to go to have a big sleepover and see Annie in Little Rock. We stayed with Amy and Louisa and Cassie spent the night with us too. We had a blast staying up too late, telling stories, hearing giggles and watching several dances the girls made up! 

Arvest Family Day

Arvest had a family fun day at camp winnamoka in Arkadelphia. DF had a basketball game so we watched the first half of that and then had to leave him behind so he couldn’t join us. The zip line was open and Isaac Bass was the youngest and smallest to ever go down it in camp history they told us. He was brave and loved it and went twice! 😲😊 

We had a great day getting to know more Arvest families. Thankful for franklins job! 

Razorback game

Man, the razorbacks are the worst they’ve ever been in my lifetime (or that I can remember) and the game against Mississippi State hurt my feelings the stadium was so empty! We did get to visit friends and check out the new tri delt house which was amazing!! Always good to be in Fayetteville, and we love our hogs no matter what!
