It was sheer joy to hear these two singing and decorating cookies.  Then we snuck a quick trip looking at Christmas lights. 

Always a sweet time with friends

Sarah looked absolutely beautiful for her Christmas dance at FCA!!

The girls made my birthday the best ever.  They cook breakfast that was delicious and had such great and thoughtful gifts.  It started my trip to the beach off just right.  I have never been to the beach for my birthday, but I definitely think I could get used to that!!

Our last year to do this.  Ashtyn did a great job reading her part.  We had the cutest angels ever this year.

We had a great Thanksgiving this year.  We got to be with family, see friends, enjoy the Egg Bowl (sort of) and Sarah and Farrow Kate got to go hunting with My Mac and Connor.  

This year his birthday fell on Thanksgiving, so he got to celebrate with everyone.  His cake made a little of a hard trip from Tupelo.  

I got to go with Ashtyn to Nashville for the ICE exhibit at Opryland.  This was super cold and super fun.  She got to ride tubes down an ice slide as well.  

We made this trip on the coldest day of the year so far, so we didn't get to do the outdoor rides, but we had a blast anyway.  Farrow Kate can way out climb me.
