Putting Up The Tree Tuesday Night!

Daddy was so surprised how fast the tree went up this year...he had such wonderful helpers this year!

They love the angel on the top:)

They both had to have a turn on the ladder!

Here it is...this year with a train beneath it!

Sea World Wednesday!

Mia had to get her 5 yr. shots yesterday...she had to get a total of 4...poor baby!! So, we told her we'd go to Sea World after for a little bit:) It was a nice time and we saw quite a bit in 2 hours. They have transformed the Wild Artic exhibit into The Polar Express Experience...it was so much like the movie...we loved it!! Then we had to get to my Mom's to drop the girls off so we could get to the House of Prayer. Right before we left I noticed Mia felt warm... she was running a 102 fever. Today it has been low grade for the most part! She felt better today and was back to herself even while running a low grade fever she is still happy:)

I am so tired from being up on & off last night w/Mia so I will add comments to the pictures tomorrow...have an Awesome night!!!

We Did It...Part Of The Garage Is Done!!!

This was before a few months ago...so we did have had a bit more in there before the Big cleanout yesterday!!!

Looking out!

Looking in!

Since Monday is one of Roy's new days off we decided to tackle one of our big jobs yesterday...the cleanout & organizing of our garage! We went through almost everything and now Roy just has to build shelves for it to all have a place off of the floor. We were all so excited to be able to walk on over half of the floor and the girls could actually ride their tricycle in there...what a blessing!! No more obstacle course on our way out to the car:) Thanks Honey for working so hard...the girls & I enjoyed helping you out there!!

The finished look...until we get shelves in! The motivation yesterday was so that Roy could get our Christmas decorations down out of the attic:)

This little caterpillar was on the driveway...I don't know what kind it is but, I have heard that they hurt if you touch them? Unless I am getting confused with another one?!!

They had so much fun with all the room to play!

My Awesome, Dedicated, Hard working, Faithful and Loving Husband...I Love You So Much Roy!!!

Praise God...Roy Got Sundays Off!!!

We are so excited... we all got to go to church as a family!! God opened the door with His favor for our family to once again be together in church on Sundays...this means so much to us!!! Thank you Lord...We Praise You God!!!

Busy with play-doh Saturday morning!

What a cute little parrot, Madeline!!

Rockin away in Mama's rocker:)

Grandma & Her Girls!!!

The start of the sunset from under our big tree!

Mia...loving her time up on the hill!!

Madeline loves to swing too!

What a nice evening...love you honey!

Such sweet sisters & friends:)

Closing in on the sun going down...so beautiful!!!

Mia found a stick...it's time to write in the dirt!!

Roy had a friend visiting!

They thought this was hilarious when Daddy let this lizard crawl all over him!

Thanks for making the girls laugh honey!!

Our neighbors, German & Sylvia...they are the best!!!

Go Fish...Little Pet Shop style!

Roy is everyone's handyman...he is so talented & blessed!!

We had a nice quiet day at home on Friday...no shopping! I was so surprised that I did not miss the shopping the day after Thanksgiving!! We stayed in and watched a movie with my Mom...such a peaceful day and the girls went on the swings with Grandma and played in the yard:) Once Daddy got home we were going to have a game night but Madeline got sick and didn't feel well and went to sleep early.


Saturday, back to doing some school and we were going to hang out at home. The girls had made cards for our neighbors, German & Sylvia so we brought them next door and wound up hanging out with them for the evening. We are so blessed to have such wonderful friends for our neighbors...they are awesome!! Thanks again for dinner you guys...especially since we were unannounced!!
