Christmas

Here are just a few shots of our Christmas. We stayed home as usual. We are loving the 4 gifts for the kiddos. Something you want, something you need, something to wear, and something to read. 

Steven got me a movie pass as well as new running shoes and a jogging stroller for when it warms up to take Ridlee on runs. One of my goals for the next year is to run a 5k with her. 

Steven made Ridlee a sensory table this year and so far she loves it. I told him what I wanted and he designed it. 

Mama's play office trip

Tried to beat the cold weather a bit at the beginning of our winter break by taking Kieran and the littles to my play therapy office in Fayetteville. As usual they had a blast. 

First official training

I am going to be stepping out of my element in the next year. Something my introverted self is somewhat terrified about. Alas, it needs to happen. I feel a calling to do so. Mostly I will be venturing out in the field of substance use training's. However I did take part in a co-play therapy training at my Bentonville office yesterday and it was so fun. I did mine on the usefulness of Zen Garden's for all ages. We had a great turn out and it was so much fun. 

Kieran's 14th birthday!

Kieran is 14. That's weird saying because it doesn't feel like it's been 14 years that she's been here. None the less, it's here and she is turning into an amazing young woman. So stubborn, but that makes her a born leader for sure. She wanted to go shopping with her friends for her birthday. We then took her to Freddy's and to watch Wonder at the movies. It was a good time for her.
