Thanksgiving Recap

Okay, I have failed you all. I never posted any of my dessert recipes and this is going to be one big Thanksgiving recap post!

I will start off with our Harvest Supper at church.

Me and my girlies

If nobody else loves me, I know for a fact that Wrenley does💕

Then we had our immediate family Thanksgiving at our house on Wednesday. Since we had turkey at church and were having turkey on both Thursday and Friday that we would do something a little different:

SEAFOOD!

Trey and Maggie 💓

Carlie and Wrenley

My silly little girl

My family. Wrenley was obviously mad about something.

She hides her feelings about as good well as BeBe!

Our next Thanksgiving was with Grammy at my parents' house.

Wrenley loves BeBe's deviled eggs.

Our last Thanksgiving for the weekend was with Carl's family. I didn't take many pictures at all. Carlie was on-call and unable to go with us. So it was just the four of us.

Carl's sisters, mom, niece, and Makena

And just like that, Thanksgiving comes to a close--our hearts full, our pants a little tighter, and our refrigerators packed with leftovers we'll enthusiastically eat for exactly two days. But in all the chaos of cooking, cleaning, and arguing over who makes the best dressing, there's something sweet about gathering and giving thanks. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be reheating pie for breakfast and pretending that's completely normal.

Much Love,

Beth

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...

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...

Happy Friday, friends! We made it through another week here on the homestead. Today, I am linking up with Andrea and Erika for another Friday Favorites :) This week has flown by! On Monday, Wrenley started her new "school year" at daycare. Even though she is in the same school with a lot of the same kids, she moved up and is now officially in PreK! She has had to adjust to new teachers, but seems to like it so far :) She is BeBe's big girl! 💓💓💓 At the beginning of the week, Carl asked if Makena and I wanted to go with him and Trey put some corn and salt blocks out for the deer. Say less, sir! Of course, our answer was yes :) Our chariot and driver Trey and Maggie Hopefully, our hard work pays off! Also came across this guy. He was around 5 ft. long and had 14 rattlers. Don't ask how I know that 😟 We always have a good time when we hang out with our guys, and that is most certainly a favorite! Watching my girl do her thing at work will always be my favorite!...
