Merry Christmas....Finally!!

Well it's finally Christmas (on my blog!).  After a full day of running everywhere on Saturday, we were pretty pooped, but there was no rest for Mommy and Daddy because we had to get the kids stuff together! 
Our masterpiece!

Carlie with her new bike!
Makena with her giant dog.....I would have never gotten her this, but she told Carl that's what she wanted, so that's what she got!
T LOVED his crane.  He had no idea that he was getting this.  In fact he never really mentioned that he wanted one, but again Carl picked it out for him. I think he did a pretty good job!

Carlie had been wanting this make-up and was very happy to get it!
Makena got an Easy Bake Oven!
Trey and his cap guns
They also got a trampoline but it was we that morning because it had rained a little and Makena was the only one who would get on anyway!!
There are so many more pictures that I could have put on here, but frankly I'm tired up uploading the ones that are on here!  We had a wonderful Christmas.  After we opened presents we had Cinnamon rolls and juice for breakfast, then we all got dressed and went to church.  It was a great service.  I personally liked having Christmas on Sunday.  What better day to celebrate the birth of Christ?  After church we all went back to Grammy and Papa's for lunch then it was time to head home and maybe get some rest.....NOT!  Of course we had to try out our Blizzard maker and our EBO!  So we had some red velvet cupcakes and ice cream!  It was our little birthday party for Jesus :) 
We left around 5 to go to the movies.  A tradition that we started about 2 years ago.  This year we saw Chipwrecked.  It was very cute, even for a cartoon. 
Another Christmas, another day of magical memories that I'll cherish forever....Christmas with my kids is one of the best experiences of each year and I am once again, so very blessed to be their mom.

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!...

Red Flags: Guarding Our Hearts & Our Churches

 Scripture tells us that shepherds are entrusted with God's flock, no for selfish gain but "being examples to the flock" (1 Peter 5:3). A pastor's calling is a holy one, rooted in humility, sacrifice, and love. But Jesus also warned that not every shepherd has pure intentions--some are "wolves in sheep's clothing" (Matthew 7:15).  As believers, we must stay discerning. Here are some red flags to watch out for in pastors: 1.  Special Treatment for Certain Families  James warns against showing partiality (James 2:1-4), yet some pastors cater to certain families, wealthy donors, or influential members while neglecting the rest of the body. Christ doesn't play favorites--every soul in the church matters equally to Him. A true shepherd cares for the unnoticed as much as the well-known. 2. Neglecting the Brokenhearted  Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted (Luke 4:18), but a pastor who avoids the messy, hurting, or less "influential" people in th...

Back To School Photo Shoot

The girls have been begging me since yesterday to take some pictures of them in some of their new outfits but yesterday the weather was kinda iffy as to if was going to rain (never did) and we would have had to fix hair before....and that just didn't really fit into our day, so I told them after church would work.  I would have never guessed how sleepy I would have been after not enough sleep due to Carlie's stomach issues and the fact that I took sinus medicine before I went to bed thought I was going to bed at 11:00.  Needless to say,  could hardly keep my eyes open during church.  I was seriously thinking of finding an empty room and taking a nap until church was over!  Instead, I waited until after we ate lunch (leftovers from last night!) and cleaned up.  I think we finished in record time and I was snoozing away by 12:45 :)  I could hear the kids, so I got up around 2:30 and the first thing Makena asked me was "Can we take pictures now?"....
