Life Lately - January

Let's wrap up the month with the random photo dump of pictures left over starting with Sadie. I don't think I ever posted this but for Sadie's 13th birthday, we gifted her an experience to get her 2nd holes in her ears pierced! She has been asking for the past year, so we finally surprised her. But we had to wait for their last basketball game before the winter break so she would have a few weeks off from sports for them to heal:

She happened to be wearing these cross earrings the day she got them pierced but usually she wears a small silver hoop in her original hole with the silver ball in her second. 

A random picture at the boys' last home basketball game:

She went to church with a friend one Wednesday night & a sleepover at a friend's house:

She went to D-Now for a weekend retreat at our church again:

I never posted that we did go to the Cotton Bowl. Sophie didn't want to go but Sadie went with us. We had a great time, even though we lost:

Finally, I am super proud of Sadie for meeting a goal & getting officially licensed to be a US soccer referee! She had to take about 6 hours of online training, so she knocked most of it out during out winter snowstorm when they got a few days out of school & then she went to an in-person clinic this weekend which lasted about 4 hours:

She has talked about being a ref for years, but you have to be 13 so I am so excited she did it & will get to start reffing later this month & make a little money along with it!

Sophie got to be spirit captain at GMP with her friends this month:

Sadie's NCL class went to see Legally Blonde, so I let Sophie come & she invited a friend. I think they enjoyed it more than Sadie!

She also had a play date with a few friends & her friend's mom just opened her orthodontic practice, so they went to check out her new office & then a week later I went with my girlfriends for the ribbon cutting. Her office looks amazing & I would highly recommend to anyone in the Prosper area:

Finally, the girls had to pick their classes for school next year. Sophie had to choose her fine art elective & just like her sister, she chose band. We went to try out all of the instruments last week & she chose percussion as 1 & flute as number 2 so we'll find out in the next month what she gets assigned:

We are so excited for her to be a Griffin Gator next year!
