December 2024 Part 1

 It's Beginning to look a lot like Christmas!


💖💖💖💖

The museum holds "Spaghetti with Santa" each year.
Wrenley was not a fan of him though!

I stole this picture from Carlie because it is such a good one!
Wrenley was a flower girl at Caleb's sister, Whitney's wedding.
Not at all Christmas-related, but it did happen in December :)


Our Church Christmas Program, "The Christmas Family Tree"

Makena was the director of our Christmas program at church this year.
She comes from a long line of "directors". My grandmother directed it for years.
In recent years, my mother has taken over. This year, she passed the reigns to Makena.
Makena did a fantastic job. She asked me to be part of it and I was a little hesitant because
it is a big commitment. Every Sunday afternoon from October to December at 4 p.m. is a lot!
But I wanted to show my support, so I was in! And believe it or not, it really wasn't that bad!

Miss Wren Elizabeth was the most beautiful angel💖

Grammy even sneaked out of the nursing home for a few hours to watch the program.
Here is Wrenley with her Great-grandmother and Great-Great-grandmother.

Merry Christmas Sunday!
Caleb has to work two Sundays out of the month, and this month it was on Christmas Sunday.

If you have seen any of my pictures of Wrenley, you know that she doesn't wear a bow...like at all!
Well, we were dressing her baby doll, and I found an old baby bow of hers. She put it on her head for about two seconds and I was able to snap a picture.
She's such a cutie pie.

Next up, is Grammy's Cowboy Christmas.

Carl and I went out and found a Christmas tree at the farm

We love a good theme around here.
My mom is the Queen of Themes, lol!
A Cowboy Christmas it is!

I had to snap a picture of my "brother", Toby Lewis.

Wrenley got a new babydoll from Grammy.
She absolutely loved her!

Grammy with Carlee, Savvy, Wrenley, and Carlie
The girls were thrilled to play together, and having littles around sure makes Christmas more fun!

Makena was helping Grammy open her presents.

Grammy with 3 of her 4 kids and their spouses.

Grammy with my family.
Caleb is still missing, but will be here just in time for Santa!

It's been a busy and fun month so far! Stay tuned for part 2.

Much Love,
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

  Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for the first Friday Favorites of 2025! Over the past three weeks, I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to spend more time with Wrenley. She is growing up so much. She is speaking in full sentences and is a clown to boot! We've enjoyed lots of naps in BeBe's bed, playing with baby dolls (one of her favorite things), and since I have to pick her up before 7 a.m. on the days she stays with me, we enjoy getting her favorites: donuts (nonuts) and hotcakes from McDonald's -not at the same time though! Snug as a bug in a rug! She loves her Ky Ky Another favorite is a clean kitchen! We have had our house in a bit of chaos like I'm sure everyone else has with all the holiday festivities (and with Carl being off). I am glad to have everything in its proper place! That ray of sunshine is therapy for my soul! The next thing on my favorites list is Carl's chili. We had it last night and will probably have leftovers for a few day...

Friday Favorites

 Happy January 74th! Ok but really, why does January seem to go on FOREVER?! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for Friday Favorites! This was definitely a favorite moment from this week!  Our 47th President, Donald J. Trump! Since Monday was also MLK day, I had the pleasure of watching sweet Wrenley.  Celebrating my niece, Ellie Kate's 15th birthday was definitely a favorite! I also watched Wrenley on Wednesday because she was a little under the weather. She had fun playing and getting lots of ice cream and popsicles! Wrenley will always be my favorite. On this day she wanted to "work" like BeBe. She's so precious, even with her little bedhead! Good Music is a favorite. Play some old-school country music and we are golden :) My favorite meal this week. It seems like forever since I made a home-cooked meal! Cajun baked chicken, corn (because Trey loves corn), broccoli, mashed potatoes with white gravy, and rolls were on the menu, and every...
