O, Christmas Tree!: Christmas With Grammy

A few days before Christmas, Carl and I ventured out to get a Christmas tree for my Grammy's Christmas. We were having it out in my parents' garage. We were told to get a tree that was at least 8ft. tall. Ours ended up being about 12 ft. :) It didn't look that big when we cut it!

This was my first experience with a real tree. Trey is pretty allergic to lots of outdoor allergens, so we always have an artificial tree.

Channeling my inner Clark Griswold!

Next, we had the task of decorating it..which wasn't the easiest thing to do.

We enlisted the help of my mom, dad, and Makena for this part.

She's a beaut!

My kids and Wrenley with Grammy.

She was so happy with her gigantic tree :)

Another family Christmas down, two more to go (and one of those is next weekend).

We are blessed beyond measure to have Grammy with us. She has always been a huge part of my life and the lives of my kids, and now Wrenley knows exactly who Grammy is. It's sad that she will never know the Grammy we did, but Grammy loves Wrenley so much.

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 his wings. He has a re-directed path now and I pray e

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 say we went swi

The girls were of course more than eager to do their pictures, T however, was not. That is why we still haven't done it yet! Hmmm....maybe a bribe would work!
