OK I have added pictures of what Melvin did. Melvin is our elf-on-th-shelf who comes at the beginning of December. Last night he decided to paint Brian’s toenails. He wrote a note for the kids, telling them to go check out their dad’s feet. Brian was not happy at all that Melvin did that to him in the middle of the night!

Blog test
So my family has been begging me to start blogging again. The hard part is I no longer have a computer because I just work from my phone. The last time I checked, Blogger had an awful blogging app. So now that it’s been a few months I am trying it out again to see if I like it and if I can do it from my phone. It looks like I can now insert photos directly from my photo library on my iPhone. I can also use voice to text which is making this so much easier! Yay!

New Year's Eve 2017
I'm not going to write anything about New Year's Eve basically because, um, I don't remember much of it. But here's a photo dump!
Christmas 2017
We had another great year of Christmas time with our families. Brian's family came over on Christmas Eve and we enjoyed Brian's yummy brisket along with the traditional corn casserole, sausage balls, little smokies, and Ashley/Kellie's deviled eggs.
The family gathered. |

Christmas Evening
We headed to Rodney's house to have Christmas with my side of the family. Sometime during Christmas Eve night I started feeling really bad. I almost didn't go to my family's that evening, but I got up anyway. I was able to compete in our annual family Christmas game.
Pauline and Rodney, probably arguing about something during Pictionary. |

December 2017
Melvin came back on December 1st. He kept a good eye on the kids, but also managed to get into some mischief.
The drive to work was amazing! It looked like a winter wonderland. Definitely my favorite commute ever.

Melvin borrowed Halle's camera to take selfies with a snowman |
Melvin had a good time getting into the toothbrushes and toothpaste. |
Y'all we HAD SNOW!!!! Like real snow. In Houston! As in Houston, Texas! It started snowing about 10 pm and at 4 am the ground was covered in about 3-4 inches. I woke up the kids super early just in case it melted before the sun came up. Surprise, it didn't! That meant from about 5 am until 7:30 am (they had to get eventually get to school) the kids played outside, made snow angels, had snowball fights with the neighbor kids, and made snow men. It was awesome!

November 2017
Big month for Jack since he lost his very first baby tooth! Just like the others, he used Brian's old tooth fairy pillow that night.
We spent a day with some church friends at P-6 farms in Montgomery. It was a nice day to, um, roll around in the hay. There was a corn maze, bumpy butt slide, like they have at Dewberry, jumping pillow, cow train, etc. The absolute funnest part of the day was watching the pig races.
Dressed up for Thanksgiving brunch at Walden Yacht Club. Excellent meal like always, and great company.
Arden sprained her ankle on the trampoline the weekend after Thanksgiving. She hobbled around on crutches for a few days.
