December 2024 Part 2

 Part two of December isn't going to be as long as part one! I didn't take many pictures of the kids opening their gifts because I was busy enjoying the moment. It was honestly one of the easiest Christmases we have had. Everyone was pretty chill and unhurried. I love that!


Before breakfast, I decided to snap a picture of the dining room.
This is Grammy's plaid tablecloth. I love adding her little touches to the holidays.

We love Pappy's Christmas breakfast!

Wrenley is the center of attention around here!

My girls

She loves giving her baby a bath!
We had to open it and put water in it immediately :)

I do believe this was her most favorite gift at BeBe and Pappy's house.
She literally painted off and on ALL DAY!

I did get a picture of Trey opening his gifts :)
It was very weird that he didn't wake up at my house on Christmas morning.
Makena tried to get him to stay the night in his old room, but he wouldn't.

Caleb opening his gifts

Wrenley got her blue tractor.
She knows that JoJo and Papa have red tractors and Pappy drives green tractors.
A farmer down the road from us has New Holland Tractors, and Wrenley loves his blue tractors!

He couldn't help himself! I think he wants one now :)

Makena and Trey opening gifts at my parent's house.

Wrenley loved her Mickey Mouse baking set!

My nephew Eli

Noah, Trey, and Ellie Kate
Cousins are fun :)

Merry Christmas from the Garretts, Mungers, Prices, and Sturch/Simpsons!

Boone's face just before tearing up one of his Christmas toys!

Makena got a Harry Potter Monopoly game from my parents.
We played it Christmas night, and it was pretty fun.
I couldn't believe how pretty it was. 


Merry Christmas Season from our family to yours!

Much Love,
Beth

Monday Morning Chit-Chat

  Happy Monday, friends! Well, here we are again. Another Monday morning, another fresh week, and another cup of coffee that I'm hoping will magically give me the energy to accomplish all the things on my to-do list. Spoiler alert: It probably won't. But I'm going to drink it anyway. I thought we would start this week with a little old-fashioned chit-chat. Nothing too serious, nothing life changing. Just a little catching up on life lately, a few random thoughts, and whatever else happens to pop into my head. you know, the kind of conversation we'd have if you stopped by my house, pulled up a chair, and stayed a while. So grab your coffee (or whatever gets you going in the morning), and let's visit. First things first...it's October! This year is absolutely flying by. I love this time of year. The cozy evenings, the fall decorations, the soups and comfort foods, and the excuse to stay home in my pajamas a little longer. Now if Arkansas could just get the memo t...

What's Up Wednesday

 Happy What's Up Wednesday! Today I am linking up with  Shay  and  Sheaffer  for another "What's Up Wednesday" Let's do this! What we're eating this week... So far this week we have made: Wings on the Pit Boss Slow Cooker Pineapple Pork Chops You can't get any easier than wings and chops! Especially when they are on the grill and slow cooker!! What I'm Reminiscing About... Septembers past: September is Trey's birth month. It is also the month that my grandpa died four years ago. This is the year that Papa gave Trey a gun for his birthday. He was so proud to give it to Trey and you can tell by the look on Trey's face how happy he was. Such a sweet moment to remember. Our county fair is also in September. My kids used to love it when they were younger. They still love rides, just not the traveling kind :) This was Wrenley's school picture last year. She has grown so much in one year :) What I'm Loving... Makena and my mom have started mak...

Be Her: When Our Ideal Self Becomes an Idol

 Ella Langley's "Be Her" got me thinking about something I think a lot of women struggle with- the woman we think we should be.  You know her. She's more disciplined. More confident. More put together. She exercises, keeps the house clean, reads her Bible every morning, never loses her patience, and somehow always has good hair. We tell ourselves, If I could just be her..... And there's nothing wrong with wanting to grow. But what happens when the woman we want to become turns into an idol? Sometimes we become so focused on our ideal self that we forget to ask God who He wants us to become. There's a subtle difference between praying, "Lord, make me more like Christ," and saying, "Lord, help me to become the woman I've decided I need to be." One is surrender. The other can easily become control.  Philippians 1:6 reminds us that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. God isn't waiting fo...
