A Christmas Wonderland

Ready to Party!!

Maxee and Makena posing by one
of Aunt Kat's trees

This one is the bird tree, I think.
She had all kinds of bird ornaments on it..
even some little nests!  Trey kept wanting to
get the mini eggs out of them.

We loved this cowboy snowman!
I also really liked the Patriotic tree.
She had lots of flag ornaments, but there
were also some special ornaments made
of pictures of family members who have served in our
Armed Forces.

The first time that my kids went to Aunt Kat's house, a few years ago,
this was Trey's all time favorite tree because of Santa in the big truck.
He still says this is his favorite tree :)

On Saturday we went to Sheridan to my great aunt and uncle's house for our first Christmas Party of the year!  The special thing about her house is that she decorates every single room with a tree and/or some kind of Christmas decor.  It isn't tacky, but very well thought out and all the trees are themed.  She even has Christmas toilet paper in her bathrooms!  The kids thought that was the coolest thing EVER!!  We had a good time visiting, eating, and singing Christmas carol's.  Her house really is like walking into a Christmas Wonderland.  The coolest thing is, that even though she has all of this pretty stuff, she doesn't mind the kids touching it.  Her rule is "you can touch, just don't be rough"!!

Friday Favorites

  Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for the first Friday Favorites of 2025! Over the past three weeks, I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to spend more time with Wrenley. She is growing up so much. She is speaking in full sentences and is a clown to boot! We've enjoyed lots of naps in BeBe's bed, playing with baby dolls (one of her favorite things), and since I have to pick her up before 7 a.m. on the days she stays with me, we enjoy getting her favorites: donuts (nonuts) and hotcakes from McDonald's -not at the same time though! Snug as a bug in a rug! She loves her Ky Ky Another favorite is a clean kitchen! We have had our house in a bit of chaos like I'm sure everyone else has with all the holiday festivities (and with Carl being off). I am glad to have everything in its proper place! That ray of sunshine is therapy for my soul! The next thing on my favorites list is Carl's chili. We had it last night and will probably have leftovers for a few day...

Friday Favorites

 Happy January 74th! Ok but really, why does January seem to go on FOREVER?! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for Friday Favorites! This was definitely a favorite moment from this week!  Our 47th President, Donald J. Trump! Since Monday was also MLK day, I had the pleasure of watching sweet Wrenley.  Celebrating my niece, Ellie Kate's 15th birthday was definitely a favorite! I also watched Wrenley on Wednesday because she was a little under the weather. She had fun playing and getting lots of ice cream and popsicles! Wrenley will always be my favorite. On this day she wanted to "work" like BeBe. She's so precious, even with her little bedhead! Good Music is a favorite. Play some old-school country music and we are golden :) My favorite meal this week. It seems like forever since I made a home-cooked meal! Cajun baked chicken, corn (because Trey loves corn), broccoli, mashed potatoes with white gravy, and rolls were on the menu, and every...

Friday Favorites

Happy Friday, friends! We made it through another week here on the homestead. Today, I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites :) This week has flown by! On Monday, Wrenley started her new "school year" at daycare. Even though she is in the same school with a lot of the same kids, she moved up and is now officially in PreK! She has had to adjust to new teachers, but seems to like it so far :) She is BeBe's big girl! 💓💓💓 At the beginning of the week, Carl asked if Makena and I wanted to go with him and Trey put some corn and salt blocks out for the deer. Say less, sir! Of course, our answer was yes :) Our chariot and driver Trey and Maggie Hopefully, our hard work pays off! Also came across this guy. He was around 5 ft. long and had 14 rattlers. Don't ask how I know that 😟 We always have a good time when we hang out with our guys, and that is most certainly a favorite! Watching my girl do her thing at work will always be my favorite!...
