Probably the last random photo upload for 2017! Here we go-
 |
| At the beginning of December, the girls' dad, Jason, went to Dubai and India for a few weeks. His wife Shellee, asked if she could have a girls night with Bella and Zoe while he was gone, and of course that was just fine. She took them to Winter Garden-a-Glow, and dinner and was nice enough to send me a few pictures. |

| taking selfies of myself in the car and then playing with filters on them |
 |
| taking the dog for a walk on Thanksgiving |
 |
| our Thanksgiving evening consisted of eating homemade mac'n'cheese, version 2, and playing a board game called Mr.Jack- Louis and I love going to the game store and buying random games we've never seen or played before. |
 |
| waiting for her pie |
 |
| unsure if she gets to eat it or not... |
 |
| proof that dad loves roo! |
 |
| this came from the girls dad- apparently this is what he woke up to at 6 am- Zoe trying to clean putty off her hands...she looks unhappy! |
 |
| I was sitting in this chair literally 1 minute prior to this picture being taken....then I was outed by a 90 lb black lab who decided SHE wanted to sit there instead |
 |
| bad bad dog! |
 |
| Bella sparring in taekwondo |
 |
| nuhnuhnuhnuhnuhnuh...bat dog |
 |
| Bella playing with Henri |
 |
| my lover brought me home some flowers |
 |
| Bella receiving her camo belt in taekwondo |
 |
| getting some cheese sticks and milkshakes at sonic |
 |
| Zoe's hiphop dance class performed the cutest dance to Jingle Bells by Flo Rida |
 |
| she is quite good and many of the girls look to her to follow during the routine |
 |
| This is the most I could pull myself together to do this year- I made Christmas popcorn for a few people- very few and only because I had to. |
 |
| It is really good though, so maybe I was forgiven by a few people. We are building a house, with a close date one month after Christmas- making it through the holidays with three tween girls was the most we could manage! :) |
 |
| the choir trip |
 |
| Zo and Stelly Stell. I love this kid- and her family. Her entire family including her parents and grandparents are just phenomenal people. Her grandparents have virtually taken Zoe in as their adopted granddaughter and spoil her rotten just like they do Stella....like to the point of Zoe having a room at their house. They live in The Afton, a very, VERY nice condo unit downtown Boise and are always going to big fancy dinners ( Grandpa is well known around theses parts- he is the Drake part of the advertising agency Drake Cooper) so Zoe loves going and since Stella is an only child- where Stella goes, Zoe goes. |
 |
| on the bus for the choir tour |
 |
| this tree made out of poinsettias was in the capitol rotunda. I thought it was pretty |
 |
| Culvers! :) |
 |
| Rachel got glasses and looks super cute in them! |
 |
| Bella fried this egg all by herself. I was proud! |
 |
| I laughed and laughed at this- Zoe's ipod is disabled, but not to worry, she can try again in 47 years- over 25 million minutes! |
 |
| more cheese sticks.... |
 |
| i love this kid to death |
 |
| and this one too! |
 |
| then I decided to make tamales....it's like a 5 hour process and I swear I will never do it again |
 |
| Bella playing in the snow- all of this in one night |
 |
| hot chocolate |
 |
| Zoe ducking- she has far too few clothes on and I told her to get out of the picture with her little half naked body! Rachel, thinks its hilarious :) |
 |
| sweet baby |
