Merry Christmas!!

This was honestly one of the most laid back Christmases we have ever had (well, since having kids). We got up around 6:45 am and got cinnamon rolls in the oven, turned the fireplace and Christmas music channel on Netflix, and then got the kids up. I didn't wrap Makena and Trey's big things so they were able to see them as soon as they came in the living room. Carlie had to open hers upπŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰
They were so excited! Makena's bigger things were a drum, 21Pilots drumpad, and an irig. Trey's were an electric guitar, amp, and some Beats. Carlie's bigger items were a laptop and a furry stool she wanted for her room. They all got more, I'm just not going to list it all.
Carl and I also exchanged presents, although he had already gotten most of his prior to Christmas. He ended up with a new grill, an outdoor heater, a grill set, and a Browning pullover he wanted. He kept telling me not to get him anything, so I thought we were going smaller this year. I think he just wanted to outshine me😁
He got me an essential oil set and diffuser, a pair of cowboy boots, a new pair of duck boots, a necklace, and my big surprise was the windmill I had been wanting from Tractor Supply. I really didn't think he was getting it because it was so expensive, so I may or may not have cried a little.
So after presents we ate our nice sugary breakfast and played with our stuff.
We went to my parents house around 11:30 and opened presents then we ate lunch.
My mom got all of the boys hover boards for their big gifts and Carlie got a pair of Birkenstocks and Makena got a pair of Ugg boots. Again, they got so much more, I am just hitting the highlights.
We had Christmas dinner at our house with just our family Christmas night. Carl fixed deersteak and all the fixins.

Carlie really likes her new computer.

Carl liked his grill set also 😊

Me with my windmill😁😁

This dude got the hang of the hover board really fast!

Uggs made her smile!

Carlie hardly had time for my picture, but here are the Birks!

Merry Christmas from the Mungers!
Hope you had a great one😊

Much Love,

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! πŸ’“πŸ’“πŸ’“ 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?"....
