Merry Christmas

Makena with her friendship bracelet kit

Carlie has wanted a wig forever and I just thought
it was ridiculous, but while Carl and I were shopping
at Toys R Us I spotted this Hannah Montana
wig and knew she would LOVE it, and she did :)

Trey with his trash truck

Moxie Teen!

Carlie got a Fashion Babyz DS game.

They also got a new basketball goal and balls

We were playing in the dark because we had
to be at Nanny's early. 

For the past couple of years my Mom has hid
these ZuZu pets at her house before the kids got there
and then let them have a "mouse hunt".  They love it and it
is a little pre-present activity.

Ellie Kate and Carlie

Trey got a new digital camera and has been
snapping pictures left and right.  I'll have to make a post of
just his pictures....should be pretty interesting.

Carlie was SO thrilled about her new microscope.
She has been looking at everything she can think of
underneath it, even blood..she picked a scab..GROSS!

Makena with her new Password Journal

When we woke up Christmas morning we opened presents at our house then had to hurry to my Mom and Dad's house for presents and breakfast there.  The kids liked all of there presents, but I didn't get all the pictures I should have.  We have been the sick house around here since Wednesday.  I had to push myself to get through all the festivities, but I made it, and even though I didn't get to enjoy it like I normally would, I think the kids did, and after all, that's all that matters :)  After we opened presents at Mom and Dad's we ate our annual breakfast (yummy!) and then went home for a little nap until 1, when we went to Grammy and Papa's for lunch, then headed back home to start putting things into place. 
We started a new tradition last year of going to the movies on Christmas night.  We went to see the Squeakquel last year and this year we watched Yogi.  It was a really cute movie and Trey hardly took his eyes off of it the whole time.  I love the Holiday Season, but I'm so glad that it's all over and I can finally get my house back into some kind of order :)
Hope you all had a Merry Christmas!

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...
