January Phone Pics

Thought I would share a few phone pictures from January. 

Emory's birthday cake that she made and designed all by herself! She did a great job! 

My silly little boy! 

I found this on my phone. Cason is always leaving me selfies! 

We took Lucy to the vet for her check-up and Eli snapped a few pictures all of her leg! 

Eli prepping for a nerf war. 

Emory made jalapeno poppers one night for dinner. 

Happy Birthday Emory

January 15th our not so little girl turned 11! We celebrated with a small family party the weekend before her birthday. 

It is hard to believe she is 11 and just two years away from being a teenager. At 11 years old you love animals and want to be a vet when you grow up You also want to own a dog rescue and help dogs find homes. You are a natural born leader and sometimes struggle with wanting to take control of things. You are working on it. You love the outdoors, cooking, and art. You are bright, a hard worker, and a bit of a perfectionist. Happy Birthday Emory Grace! We love you. 

Christmas Morning

Christmas morning the kids were all up a little after 6:00 am to see what Santa had brought them. After checking everything out it was time to open presents. 

Eli got a knife, so he can now wear one on his belt just like his Bubba. 

Emory new crosses for her collection and Cason a new chair and Nerf gun. 

The Paw Patroller, Eli has been wanting one since his birthday! He was SUPER excited. 

Cason and Emory each got The Kids Almanac books.

Emory gave me this coupon book! I loved it and the thoughtfulness behind it. 

After presents Emory helped make breakfast.

Aunt Shirley and Paw Paw came after breakfast and we spent the day eating and playing games! We had a wonderful Christmas!!

Christmas Eve

Christmas eve we spent the day barbecuing brisket, ribs, and sausage for Christmas lunch. Then we went to Christmas eve candlelight service at church and then home for dinner and sibling presents. 

Ms. Melanie had crafts and coloring activities for the kids to do while they waited for the service to begin. Eli and his candy cane!! 

After dinner it was time for sibling presents.

Santa Land 2019

Yesterday the kids got out of school at noon for Christmas break, so we decided to go to Santa Land. We got there a little after 5:00 p.m. and were the 8th in line. 

Eli loved seeing all the lights and the others enjoyed looking for new displays!

The poinsettia's are still one of my favorites.
