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.

Monday Morning Chit-Chat

  Happy Monday, friends! Well, here we are again. Another Monday morning, another fresh week, and another cup of coffee that I'm hoping will magically give me the energy to accomplish all the things on my to-do list. Spoiler alert: It probably won't. But I'm going to drink it anyway. I thought we would start this week with a little old-fashioned chit-chat. Nothing too serious, nothing life changing. Just a little catching up on life lately, a few random thoughts, and whatever else happens to pop into my head. you know, the kind of conversation we'd have if you stopped by my house, pulled up a chair, and stayed a while. So grab your coffee (or whatever gets you going in the morning), and let's visit. First things first...it's October! This year is absolutely flying by. I love this time of year. The cozy evenings, the fall decorations, the soups and comfort foods, and the excuse to stay home in my pajamas a little longer. Now if Arkansas could just get the memo t...

What's Up Wednesday

 Happy What's Up Wednesday! Today I am linking up with  Shay  and  Sheaffer  for another "What's Up Wednesday" Let's do this! What we're eating this week... So far this week we have made: Wings on the Pit Boss Slow Cooker Pineapple Pork Chops You can't get any easier than wings and chops! Especially when they are on the grill and slow cooker!! What I'm Reminiscing About... Septembers past: September is Trey's birth month. It is also the month that my grandpa died four years ago. This is the year that Papa gave Trey a gun for his birthday. He was so proud to give it to Trey and you can tell by the look on Trey's face how happy he was. Such a sweet moment to remember. Our county fair is also in September. My kids used to love it when they were younger. They still love rides, just not the traveling kind :) This was Wrenley's school picture last year. She has grown so much in one year :) What I'm Loving... Makena and my mom have started mak...

Be Her: When Our Ideal Self Becomes an Idol

 Ella Langley's "Be Her" got me thinking about something I think a lot of women struggle with- the woman we think we should be.  You know her. She's more disciplined. More confident. More put together. She exercises, keeps the house clean, reads her Bible every morning, never loses her patience, and somehow always has good hair. We tell ourselves, If I could just be her..... And there's nothing wrong with wanting to grow. But what happens when the woman we want to become turns into an idol? Sometimes we become so focused on our ideal self that we forget to ask God who He wants us to become. There's a subtle difference between praying, "Lord, make me more like Christ," and saying, "Lord, help me to become the woman I've decided I need to be." One is surrender. The other can easily become control.  Philippians 1:6 reminds us that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. God isn't waiting fo...
