The Williams Six

2015. Whew. I am not sure if I've ever been so glad for a year to be over. I know, technically, that January 1 is just the day after December 31...but the closure of one year, and the expectation of the upcoming year is what my heart desperately needs. 2015 had many, many wonderful moments. For which I am so grateful. My kids are all growing into these amazing little people that I become more obsessed with every day. After a decade of diapers, I am FREEEEEEEEE!! (And now I have a third boy who can't aim in the toilet. But whatevs.) I wrote a book . I started a side business . And have met some amazing women. I spoke at a couple of mom's groups (which I love!). I am finally in a good rhythm with homeschooling. My friendships with incredible women grew deeper and more meaningful. I traveled a lot, which I enjoy so much. In many ways, 2015 was an awesome year. But, dang, it was a hard year. Three friends of mine lost children. Which is beyond unbearable. A

Florida State played (and lost) the Peach Bowl against the University of Houston on NYE day. We had our FSU friends over to watch the game and hang out!! It was super fun. For NYE, we went to Julia Mollohan's house and had a great time!! I didn't take pictures, but I got tagged in this one! We actually left before midnight because we were tired from our earlier party...and rang in the New Year at home!

Chloe has been BEGGING for a dog all year. This showed up under my door one morning. Inside Out characters. By Chloe. This girl LOVES fishing with her dad! She lost her front tooth!! We went to the Keys for Thanksgiving. My parents 40th Anniversary (how awesome is that!) A Noonday Collection show at the Office Depot Foundation Rosa and I at the Apex Christmas party Sand angels on Christmas Eve Luke and his chair bear, Spanky Chloe put these in the window of the car where she sits.

Caleb, when asked to eat his dinner with a fork instead of his hands: "I'm not Queen Elizabeth." "Let's just say Miriam and John got divorced." - Caleb's solution to Joseph missing from our Nativity set "For my 9th birthday, will you throw me a surprise party? I want to pick the theme and who to invite. Then I'll forget all about it so you can surprise me. But if I don't forget about it, we will just call it a party." - Chloe (11 months away from her birthday) Caleb: Would you rather have $5 or go to jail for 5 minutes and get a million bucks? Me: Go to jail, obviously. C: What would you do with all those deer? Me: blank stare C: I said bucks. You'd have one million deer. 

To continue our Christmas Eve tradition, we went to the beach for Christmas Eve.

This little chubby Cubby loves Awanas! This was a meme that Chloe recreated! LOL!! I used to do this terrible dance move. Luke and Chloe make fun of me all the time! Haha! Apex Christmas Party
