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 :)

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!!

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! 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

It's been a hot minute since I've linked up with Andrea and Erika for a Friday Favorites! This is me trying to get back into my blogging groove :) I came across this little dress last year when we moved, and I knew it would be fit Wrenley this summer! It was Makena's circa 2004. I just love it when a plan comes together. A favorite for sure! Look at those babies. Twenty years has flown by. Miss Wrenley Beth. She doesn't look a thing like her momma, but definitely has Aunt Makena's sass! Hopefully as her hair grows, she will get Carlie's curls. We have been doing as much outdoor activities as possible. That includes one of my favorite things...fishing! Carl, showing off his big bass. We weren't technically bass fishing, but whatever bites. It'll eat! Of course we have also been going to the river. Our kids weren't able to go with us, so we just took the jet ski. It has been raining so the water is a gross brown. I didn't s...
