2015 Wrap Up!

Oh how I miss blogging!  I LOVE to read blogs....catching up on other people's lives, how they make it work, how they decorate, where they travel to, etc.  I especially love the blogs that are super consistent, posting daily or weekly.  Unfortunately blogging that often is not a possibility for me right now....  I have so much to share and loads of pics to show, but I'm overwhelmed at the thought of going through each month and doing separate posts for each month.....SOOOO I'm going to lump the last few months of 2015 into one post!  Here we go.....

September 2015:

School continued...
Football...


We were still living with my Grandma and we were super grateful for her generosity!!
We launched our biz website The Modern Farmhouse...


And we lost a GREAT man, father and grandfather.  My FIL, Bill, passed away.  He was so funny, a constant teaser, loved his grandbabies to a fault, was a giver, a lover, a hard worker, a Christ-follower and he left a big hole in this world.



October 2015:

Owen got glasses...


MFH continued to grow...


We took in a stray off the mean streets!  Ha!  We rescued a little chihuahua...named him King and now he is officially a Tremaine!
We went to the Westphalia picnic...it's been a few years since we've been, and it was nice to take the kids back.
I began subbing at my kids school...here is where you insert that emoji with the bugged out eyes and the look of sheer terror.  Yes, that was me.  And it still is...every.single.time I sub.
My parents and I made a quick trip to Canton.  I had to pick up some things for our client and even though it was raining the whole time, we had a blast!
Halloween...




 November 2015:

We celebrated Finley turning 10!!





We attended Finn's 4th Grade musical performance...
Basketball began...


I partnered with a co-worker from the preschool I work at to do Christmas minis...
Owen got a great haircut...he has weird hair, and they did a great job!!  He liked the spikes...that day only!!  Can't get him to wear it that way now. ;)


Then we wrapped up the month with Thanksgiving...

December 2015:

Joey turned 38...he's old.  I'm not.
I might have dyed my hair and it might have turned out horribly.  I might have stayed up into the wee hours of the morning trying to fix it.  Might.have...
B's Christmas Majesty performance was beautiful...


Love this cutie..


We FINALLY moved into our house on the 8th!!!!!


The first official decor in the new house...


We had Christmas with Memaw before she traveled to Iowa to be with Joey's brother.  I only took a couple of pics with my phone...fail. :(


And speaking of fail...this was pretty much all I did to decorate for Christmas.  A tree with three handmade decorations on it.  It was just too hard to live out of boxes and decorate.  So we made do.  Next year will be awesome!! :)


Christmas Eve, opening their pjs...


Christmas Day...and the only real picture I have is of food!  Figures.  But I tell you, it was delish!  We had a great day opening gifts and hanging out with my family!!


That weekend Aidan was helping my brother make dinner...an ER trip and 5 stitches later and all was good.  He is tough and only tensed up a little.  I was proud of him, because I probably would've been crying my eyes out!


And we ended the month/year by going to a New Years Party at Haley's house.  We had a great time eating, talking and playing games.

Well, there ya have it!  It was a year full of ups and downs, and I'm glad to be starting a fresh new year!!

Goodbye 2015.Hello 2016!!
