Over The River and Through The Woods

Over the River and through the woods to Nana's house

we go!

Makena got this cute little blanket (unicorn) from Leslie

Trey was wrapped in his giraffe blanket sitting on

his best friends, Uncle John, lap.

Jeannie and Carl

Carlie was having a hard time keeping Jude in her lap.

Our first stop on this Christmas Eve was at Nana and Papaw T.R.'s house in Wynne. We had a really good time visiting with everyone, opening presents, and eating some really good turkey. I'm not a big dressing eater, but everyone said it was the best ever. Nobody left hungry :)

Yes, that is another picture you see up there of Trey with Uncle John. He LOVES him. I'm talking, he hardly left John's side or lap the whole afternoon :) They make all kinds of crazy plans and Trey is already asking when he can go stay the night!! I know he wouldn't stay by himself, but we might plan a trip to visit before Christmas break is over.

We ended up staying there for about 3 or 4 hours before we had to head off to our next stop....Grammy and Papa's.

Trey and Maxee. He didn't want to have his picture

made with a GIRL!

Makena with all her babies. She was in heaven :)

Trey with one of his presents from Grammy and Papa

Carlie was showing off her new hair dryer...it is pink

leopard...SO CUTE!

Makena got a polka-dot one

"It's a Pillow...It's a Pet, It's a Pillow Pet!!"

This is the scrap booking queen :) She loves taking pictures

and making scrapbooks. It was a perfect gift for her.

Oh my word Trey LOVED his Paper Jamz!!

Trey with his doggy Pillow Pet

Rockin' Out to "Rockstar" or as he calles it,

the Shrek song!

So after we left Wynne we had to come straight back for Christmas at my Grammy and Papa's house. There are so many kids, cousins, Aunts and Uncles....it's just a lot of good times when we get together. The kids had such a good time playing and of course opening presents!! They couldn't wait until after dinner :)

I am really running on caffeine at this point. I haven't had a good nights sleep in 3 nights thanks to this cold I've had and my wonderful husband sawing logs all night long :( I think I see a sleep aid in my near future!

As I sit here tonight in my nice warm house blogging and watching my tree lights blink, I can't help but think of how Jesus came to this earth with such humble beginnings....a King born in a barn?? He came as that perfect baby with the sole purpose to die for me and you so that we may have the chance to live with him forever. I've made my choice to be with Him in Eternity, have you?

"For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord."

Luke 2:11

Merry Christmas Eve, Everybody!!

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!...

Friday Favorites

Woo Hoo, it's Friday! Just last week I was talking about how this month is flying by, but this week has moved at a snail's pace! Today, I am linking up with Andrea and Erika for Friday Favorites. I have been working on my fitness for about a year now, more seriously in the past 6 months. One thing I've worked on is getting my daily protein in. I tried the built puff protein bars a while ago and they are wonderful, but earlier this week I found the sour puffs, and wow, those things are surprisingly amazing!! I've also taken the new year to do a little more for myself. I started ordering from Nuuly (a monthly clothing subscription). I have found serveral brands that I have wanted to try. There is no pressure to buy anything. You just simply pick 6 items, wear them for the month and send it back and then pick 6 more items (of course, you can purchase if you like). This is a new favorite of mine. At the end of November I bought tickets to the Jason Aldean conce...

Happy Friday, friends! Today I am linking up with Andrea and Erika for another Friday Favorites. This is going to be a rapid-fire Friday favorites because it is getting late and I have to wake up extra early to pick up a special little girl :) The said little girl! Nobody ever told me how much you love your grandbabies! Spending time with Wrenley is always one of my favorites💗 Another one of my favorite things is watching Makena present. This time she was on her "home turf". She did a presentation on The Stuttgart Army Airfield for a historical group at our community center. They had their biggest turnout for a meeting because Makena has so many people who support her and love her. We are thankful for everyone who came. Of course she did a great job. I'm always proud of her. It is always a favorite any time I get a video or picture of my grandson, Wesley. I can't wait until June! My gentle giant, Boone, wanting to do his favorite thing: GO OUTSIDE! Makena ...
