It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas at Our House!

My favorite time of year is here!! I usually wait until the weekend after Thanksgiving to put my Christmas decorations up, but I cheated a little this year & did it the week before Thanksgiving.

I cut some circles out of the leftover board I had from making door hangers so the kids could make some ornaments. They got the biggest kick out of it & loved perfectly placing their own ornaments on the tree.

Picture 062

Another favorite is digging the other Christmas ornaments out of the boxes to decorate the tree. I love seeing the excitement on their faces when they find a new one in the box.

 Picture 031 Picture 032 Picture 033 Picture 034

The bottom left section of the big tree was their designated decorating spot. It’s a little splotchy, yet cluttered. And I love it. Seeing my babies get in the Christmas spirit makes me so happy. It especially warms my heart to see them naming off everyone in the nativity scene. Even though we do it up big in the decorating & everything that goes with the Christmas season, we will never forget to teach our kids what Christmas is really all about-our sweet Savior’s birth.

Picture 035 Picture 037

The final product. Our living room tree, which is my favorite tree because it has all of our special ornaments that we’ve collected as a family & some that were mine as a child that my mom gave to me.

Picture 067

The mantle with our stockings.

Picture 068

My red, green, & white dining room tree.

Picture 063

Riley’s tree in his room.

Picture 069

And Miss Priss’s tree in her room.

Picture 070

I didn’t put up my 5th tree this year because I let my sister borrow it. But I already have some cute ideas of how I want to do it next year! :0)

Now, on to wrapping presents!

Thanksgiving

This year my side of the family did the big get-together at my parents’ house on Thanksgiving. I was so busy helping get things ready & hostessing that I really didn’t get many pictures. We had a wonderful time & just about all of the family was there-about 35 people. Even my 89 year old great aunt made it!

Here’s the biggest group shot I got.

Picture 049

Jamie & Rodney.

Picture 050

My sweet girl who desperately needed her bow eating marshmallows.

Picture 051

Riley & Averly loved playing with baby Claire. Usually they are the youngest so they thought they were real big.

Picture 052

This was my first time to meet Claire. Isn’t she the most beautiful thing?!

Picture 053

Ashley, Jamie, & me.

Picture 054

The weather was so perfect on Thanksgiving too. We all played outside for a little while before we ate.

Picture 056

Riley in his “Indian hat”-as he calls it-that he made at school last week.

Picture 057 Picture 058 Picture 060

I hope everyone had a wonderful & safe Thanksgiving! I am so thankful for so much, not only on Thanksgiving, but everyday!

Raking Leaves with Dada

This year has been so nice because I feel like we’ve actually gotten to experience all 4 seasons. We usually don’t get much of a fall-it just skips right from summer to winter but this year the weather has been perfect. I LOVE these 73 degree temperatures we are getting! TAG has been trying to clean up some of where they cut 2 trees down a few weeks ago. He’s been burning off the brush & we are going to chop the other up for firewood. Averly decided that she wanted to help her Dada rake the leaves & gather up all the sticks.

Picture 322 Picture 323 Picture 324

Such a big helper.

Riley & Averly go to Starkville

We took the kids to Mississippi State’s Homecoming a few weeks back. Since Josh & Brooke didn’t go, we just got their tickets for them. This was Averly’s first football game but Riley went once last year with Dada. I was also excited to take them because State was playing UT Martin, which is where I went to school. :0) Averly & I wore our orange & blue to support the Skyhawks!

Getting ready to leave. She looks miserable, but she was so good. Actually, they both were so good the whole day. Even without a nap from either!

Picture 290

My handsome little man was ready to watch the bulldogs!

Picture 292 Picture 293 Picture 295 Picture 299 Picture 301

We made it a fairly short day since we didn’t want to tailgate all day with the kids so we got there just in time for the Dawg Walk & then just walked around a little bit.

 Picture 307 Picture 309

Our not-so-great family picture of the day. It is so hard to get 4 people to look at the camera-especially when there is a 21 month old & 3 year old involved.

Picture 310

Riley wanted to ride the bulldog. Ha!

Picture 314

We met up with my sister for a little while. Then it was game time!

Picture 315

They love ringing their cowbells!!

Picture 317 Picture 320

We were so proud of how good they were. I knew Riley could do it, but Averly is just at that age where she does not like to sit still. They were so good for us & I can’t wait to take them back to more games!
