It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

 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.

Our masterpieces!

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.

Merry Christmas ladies!

and gents!

It's been a fun month of preparations...now bring on Christmas!

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

 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...
