Oh hi! Can you believe I'm posting again SO SOON?! :) I hope you are as impressed as I am. Since school has started, things are getting busy during the weeks! We recently celebrated Jay's mom's 60th birthday! It was a family lunch at their place and we brought the cupcakes! Sam's Club came through for us and I think they were the most adorable things.
We all joined in an Abbas family rendition of Happy Birthday!
Ella was VERY serious about her singing (notice hands on hips?!?!)
Vikings season is a big deal here at our house, so we've been catching our Vikings outfits with some selfies...
Ella started Just for Kix last week. She says it is a LOT different than dancing at the studio, so I'm not sure if that is a good or bad thing, but so far she seems to be having fun! Her coach is legit "Coach" and has the 5, 6, 7, 8 yell DOWN. These girls are in for a bit of a bootcamp I think, but I'm hoping their hard work, focus and dedication will result in a super awesome winter show coming up in a few months!

So then last weekend we headed to Worthington for Turkey Day 2016!! Love it. I walked the 5K with high school friend Gretchen (boo - no pics) but we had a good time catching up on all the random life stuff and ran into a few friends along the way! We watched the Turkey Day race (Worthington turkey Paycheck won AGAIN - booyah!) and then headed for our reserved spots to take in the Grand parade!
Random note from yesterday - it was picture day for Ms. Ella. We were supposed to rise and shine at 5:50 a.m. to get things done and have time to curl up her hair all cute for pictures. Well, Jay left town for a work trip at 3:30 a.m. (WHA?!) and FORGOT TO SET THE ALARM FOR ME! You guys! OMG! I woke up (praise the LORD) at 6:10 a.m. I flew out of bed so fast! Thankfully Ella was a good sport about it and got herself going and ready without my continuous prompting. We squeaked in some time for curls and ran out the door. What a morning! She said the pictures went good - in fact, she told me her hair was beautiful - ha! So, we'll see when that Lifetouch package arrives if the curls were still intact!
TGIF! Fun weekend ahead here! Ella is headed to a cheer clinic with the high school girls and then there's a swim lesson and hoping to visit Jay's parents too. Ella starts Sunday school at a new church on Sunday and then it's Vikings Game Day! Also next week is Farmington Homecoming - Go Tigers. We'll be participating in the Homecoming Parade and Ella will be cheering with the big girls at the Homecoming Football Game on Friday night. LOVE.
