At the beginning of December Carl and I were asked if we wanted to put our neighbors old Army Jeep in the Christmas Parade. We thought, hey why not. It could be fun, right? Well it was fun but I dreaded it all day long (my anxiety always does this to me). It had been raining all day long. Thankfully it wasn't cold just damp and foggy.
Fixing her up..
Nobody got good pictures and I left my phone in Carl's truck
so I didn't get any :(
BeBe and Pappy in the Jeep
Trey hung out with Carlie, Caleb, and Wrenley
and watched us. We invited him but he thought he was too cool for us.
After the parade we went to Carlie's and ate pizza!
Wrenley had fun at her first parade.
Makena missed out on all of the fun because it was a Monday night and was still at school. Speaking of school, she was inducted into Phi Alpha Theta! I am super proud of her and all of her hard work.
Carlie and I took Wrenley to the bank to get her picture taken with Santa.
When Makena came home, we did our traditional gingerbread village.
Carl putting his together and Boone watching and waiting for a piece to fall!

Our masterpieces!
Me and my sweet Wrenley Beth
We also made the trip to see the Christmas lights.
Yes, Trey is in the back with his sunglasses...teenagers!
Found a big purple dinosaur and it made me think of Wrenley.
She loves Barney almost as much as she loves Elmo!
Speaking of my little stinker, she missed our Christmas light fun because she was with her other grandparents (and Carlie and Caleb) in Branson, MO.
From what I hear she was a very good girl. Of course, I wouldn't expect anything less from a little angel :)
On Saturday we had our first Christmas of the season.
It was with all of my dad's siblings.
I hate it that Carlie, Caleb, and Wren missed it, but it was fun.
My sister and Makena
They LOVE history and genealogy stuff
Trey, My Aunt Shelia, and brother-in-law, Tim.
I managed to get this picture of my cousins little boy, River.
He was a fast one and always on the move, so I was surprised I actually caught him!
On Sunday night, we had our annual Christmas Program at church.
Makena is our tech girl, and she does an amazing job.
Trey the shepherd
Some townspeople
Trey, Cooper, Dixie, and Emma
Joseph, Mary and a sheep
Merry Christmas ladies!

It's been a fun month of preparations...now bring on Christmas!
Much Love,
Beth
