Home for the Holidays

Here are some November photos :)

Today's blog is going to just be a 'photo binge', just going to catch up with photos [and organize the house/study while the photos load :) ]

Was blessed by the last verse of an old old hymn today in church:

"Thou art giving and forgiving,
Ever blessing, ever blest,
Well-spring of the joy of living,
Ocean depth of hapy rest!
Thou our Father, Christ our brother-
All who live in love are Thine;
Teach us how to love each other,
Lift us to the joy divine."

-Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee

The boys and Sugie Puppy outide the barn :)

Love my Daddy :)
Project: Paint the 'Man Cave' above the barn

Mommy and I had a good long laugh about the light in this photo:
Its the one my perfectionist Daddy would use to home video us on Christmas Morning when we were little. The first few minutes of the video were always of us squinting painfully, couldn't even see to open the gifts! Haha!

Daddy = painting 10 square feet per second

Me = painting 10 square millimeters per second

Mmmmmm... hot mulled cider after a job well done :D

This year for Thanksgiving, Mommy wanted us to have Scripture placecards with verses about gratitude = beautiful

Our purdy autumn dining table that Mommy and I set

We took the pups out to play!!!
Could they be ANY sweeter?!?!
[no!]

Dodgie chasing Aunt Sugie around

Dodger's cute lil puppy pounce :D

Sweet baby

Enjoying the afternoon in the country

I love him!!!!

Bear and Dodgie

A little blurry- but they were chasing each other around the Christmas Tree- cutest thing EVER!

Dodgie = Fascinated by Sugar
Sugar = Not so fascinated, but I think she liked being chased by the pups

Mmmmm, lotsa yummy food Mommy and I made: pecan pie, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, stuffing, and gravy

Don't know whats being made- but I know it was YUMMY

Mommy has me decorate her chandelier every year for Christmas

Lol, this was like .2 seconds before part of the garland melted on one of the lights and started SMOKING!!! We got it under control though, haha! Gotta keep things interesting... :D

Ta Da! Finished Product!



Beddie Bye after a long, fun day



This is their 'Pick us up, Mommy...' faces.

The Lord be with you all." 2 Thess 3: 16
