Merry and Bright!

The first day of December marked our first Christmas party of the season! Our Ladies Bible Study group (plus a few friends) met at Shannon's house and had a fun night of fellowship, food, and a good old game of Dirty Santa!  There are always a few items that are most wanted.  This night is was a set of Pioneer Woman items.  Personally, I am not a huge PW fan.  Some of the things are cute, but I just don't have room for all of that junk.  Still working on that minimalist mentality, even though you probably wouldn't guess it by looking at my kids' rooms.  There was also a blanket that was a most wanted item...and my niece Ellie Kate ended up with it.  Our pastor's wife did a devotion and we all drew names of a sister to pray for throughout the year.  Carl, Trey, my dad, Noah, and Eli went bowling. Carl took some pictures and it looked like they had a lot of fun.

On Monday Carl had to go have two wisdom teeth pulled.  Bless him, he was in pain all night Sunday night and neither of us got much sleep.  I am thankful that we have a good dentist (he is also the kids orthodontist) who pulls them instead of sending you to an oral surgeon. He got them pulled but is extremely sore.  We ended up going to the Christmas Parade that night.  We sat in the car and watched the whole thing. Carlie helped her boss Carol with her little girl's hair for the parade, so she stayed down with her and watched (after she went to eat with her friend-boy).

Makena and Trey. They only got out of the car to buy cotton candy!

I just loved this cute old truck!

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

All festive in our red and green!

Much Love,

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

  Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for the first Friday Favorites of 2025! Over the past three weeks, I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to spend more time with Wrenley. She is growing up so much. She is speaking in full sentences and is a clown to boot! We've enjoyed lots of naps in BeBe's bed, playing with baby dolls (one of her favorite things), and since I have to pick her up before 7 a.m. on the days she stays with me, we enjoy getting her favorites: donuts (nonuts) and hotcakes from McDonald's -not at the same time though! Snug as a bug in a rug! She loves her Ky Ky Another favorite is a clean kitchen! We have had our house in a bit of chaos like I'm sure everyone else has with all the holiday festivities (and with Carl being off). I am glad to have everything in its proper place! That ray of sunshine is therapy for my soul! The next thing on my favorites list is Carl's chili. We had it last night and will probably have leftovers for a few day...

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...
