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! 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!...

Friday Favorites

 Woo Hoo, it's Friday! Just last week I was talking about how this month is flying by, but this week has moved at a snail's pace! Today, I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for Friday Favorites. I have been working on my fitness for about a year now, more seriously in the past 6 months. One thing I've worked on is getting my daily protein in. I tried the built puff protein bars a while ago and they are wonderful, but earlier this week I found the sour puffs, and wow, those things are surprisingly amazing!! I've also taken the new year to do a little more for myself. I started ordering from Nuuly (a monthly clothing subscription). I have found serveral brands that I have wanted to try. There is no pressure to buy anything. You just simply pick 6 items, wear them for the month and send it back and then pick 6 more items (of course, you can purchase if you like). This is a new favorite of mine. At the end of November I bought tickets to the Jason Aldean conce...

Friday Favorites

 Happy Friday, friends! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites. This is going to be a rapid-fire Friday favorites because it is getting late and I have to wake up extra early to pick up a special little girl :) The said little girl! Nobody ever told me how much you love your grandbabies! Spending time with Wrenley is always one of my favorites💗 Another one of my favorite things is watching Makena present. This time she was on her "home turf". She did a presentation on The Stuttgart Army Airfield for a historical group at our community center. They had their biggest turnout for a meeting because Makena has so many people who support her and love her. We are thankful for everyone who came. Of course she did a great job. I'm always proud of her. It is always a favorite any time I get a video or picture of my grandson, Wesley. I can't wait until June! My gentle giant, Boone, wanting to do his favorite thing: GO OUTSIDE! Makena ...
