Merry Sickmas!

As soon as I typed it I knew...I knew Carl would get sick, and he did. Only it wasn't just Carl. We woke up Christmas morning and Makena was sick. I honestly thought she might have the flu. Her head hurt, her throat hurt, her whole body hurt. She made it through opening presents here at the house. Bless her heart, she tried to feel better and be excited.
Carlie was determined to spread Christmas cheer!
And who wouldn't be smiling when opening Kendra Scott?!

The Adidas jacket she had been wanting.
That's about as big as her sweet smile got.

And this goofball asked for a metal detector.

She was also happy to get her camera

He loved he Fortnight toys we got him.

And Ellie Kate was thrilled about her unicorn robe I picked out for her.

My mom goes way overboard but we don't really mind!

We love our Pop!

Now on our way to Grammy and Papa's for lunch.
After we got back from mom and dad's house Makena started feeling a little better.

By Christmas night not only was Makena feeling crummy, Carl and I had both started getting it too. We didn't really have anywhere to go and McDonald's was the only place open, so McDonald's it was!


Our Christmas this year wasn't exactly picture-perfect or ideal, but we enjoyed it for the most part. 

Much Love and Merry Christmas, 
Beth

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

 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...
