Gone too fast - 2017 was a banner year for us and we hope to keep it going. Looking forward to kicking off a new year and here is how we closed out '17...
Lots of orange - Enjoying the Pumpkin Patch
Fairways Fall Festival - it's always good to see our HOA dues put to good use - J&T enjoy a delicious Slider with friend Ava and later Jordan scores a Pony ride
Halloween - it was tough to plan for Halloween this year as the local "experts" confidently & repeatedly predicted a wash out days prior to the actual event. The rain storms were not to be and we happily took clouds with low 50s temps & found some friends to walk with.
Jason, Taylor, Addison, Jordan, and Jordan G meet at the Fairways Pavilion to start the festivities
Jordan (Butterfly) & Taylor (Broken Doll) linger dangerously close to Pennywise who was creeping out of the sewer
Purefoy Fun Run - Mom took on one of the biggest PTA projects of the year - the Fun Run. We are happy to report that the event was a hit and surpassed 25k in fundraising!
Taylor asks if "anyone has any orange slices" and all three ladies strike a pose
Jordan with friends Ava, Sarah & Bianca
Dallas Legends Game - Being on the PTA Board has it's privileges like scoring pro bono tickets for headline sporting events. After dinner at 5 Guys we arrived at Dr Pepper Arena for our 1st Legends game - our seats were great as were the plays on & off the court - none better then when Taylor snagged a t-shirt that had been fired into the crowd!
Nice catch All Star!!!
Thanksgiving- We started the day with the 1st annual Snickers Turkey Trot. We hit the golf course early and let the beast off his leash!
It was a great workout and he behaved himself
Two kinds of Thanksgiving family photos
Holiday Success - Dad catches some z's while the girls quietly draw on the floor
Family photo shoot in Historic Downtown Frisco
Holidays & School - Purefoy's version of Where's Waldo - see if you can spot Jordan & Taylor in the massive choir
A 3rd concert performance at Griffen Middle School & Taylor makes a "living" snowman at the Purefoy Holiday party
More Holiday party as Jordan stands w/pals Bianca & Sarah while Taylor poses with life long friend Jude & the World's Best Goalie
Out & About - With several weeks off we found ourselves with lots of free time to fill with fun activities like -
taking long dog walks,
kicking around in downtown Frisco,
we found a big tree & a mysterious pile of snow in Frisco Square,
A trip to the "Gift of Christmas"
Multiple movies - we kicked off the season with Thor Ragnarok...
...and came back for The Last Jedi (Thor was better!)
Time for some traditions like holiday baking,
a visit with Santa & Mrs Klaus at the Fairways Pavilion,
a visit with Santa & Mrs Klaus at the Fairways Pavilion,
and documented proof we went to church on Christmas Eve!
The magic of Christmas Eve & Taylor "dabs" in approval of her new gear
LOL Dolls & the Lego Pizzeria were well received
Snickers cooperated with all the festivities & spent most the morning distracted by a new chew toy
Off to the Mall for some post holiday shopping - the goal was to score some cases for J&T's new I-Pod Touches & half price calendars! We were successful getting both!
Time for a day out at the local Bowling Alley - The girls far exceeded our expectations in bowling and tallied several Strikes & Spares during the afternoon. We even dabbled in some games of chance and enjoyed a high energy round of Laser Tag before we headed out!
Mom shows great form on a tough Spare attempt while Taylor celebrates her first Strike of the day!
Jordan does her happy dance after nailing a Spare - later that night she shows off her new nails at Mom & Dad's favorite restaurant (Pei Wei)
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year - See you in 2018!!!
