Garrett Christmas

Last night we went to DeWitt to my Papaw's for Christmas with my Dad's side of the family.  We had lots of laughs, good food, and of course gifts for the kids.  The adults played Dirty Santa and  I was the good wife and got Carl what he wanted because I was lucky #1!  He ended up with two really nice gifts, but I didn't really care.  Dirty Santa is my least favorite thing about Christmas.  It's just not fun to me.  I don't enjoy taking gifts away from people or ending up with the gift that nobody else wants!  The kids got movies, toys, money, and they each got a subscription to a magazine, which might not have thrilled them at the time, but I know they will enjoy it throughout the year.  I wasn't a very good photographer last night and didn't get very many pictures, but here are the few that I did get.

Chowing down!

Trey, Austin, and Derek...what did we do before DS's?

We got Austin a tabletop foosball game and let me
tell you it was a HIT!!  All the kids couldn't wait to
play :)

Well, that's two down and three more to go!!  We have our church Christmas Program tonight and I can't wait to see it!  They have been working on this since October (Sunday's only) and I'm sure they'll all do a good job.  I really am thankful that we have people who work with the kids on stuff like that.  It really takes lots of patience and organization, neither of which are my strong points!  Makena woke up with a bad sore throat (without fever) and went to church this morning but I'm hoping that she'll be able to make it through her solo tonight (cross your fingers).  Six more days until the madness ends!!

Friday Favorites

  Happy Friday, friends! Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday favorites. And here they are in no particular order: Last week our preacher told us that he had a surprise for us next week.  I had honestly forgotten about it until Carl mentioned at lunch on Sunday.  Trey said he knew what it was, but he wasn't telling.  It still didn't occur to me what it could be until we arrived at church on Sunday night, and I saw that Trey had a notebook along with his Bible sitting next to him on our pew.  It was him. Trey was the surprise.  He gave a short devotion before our Business Meeting.  He did well, considering it was his first time.  He said the congregation was a lot scarier when you are the one being stared at! This is a big deal because about 7 months ago he realized that he needed Jesus as his Savior.  And that came after about 7 months of me worrying about him, while he was trying to stretch hi...

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...
