Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!!

Tonight around the giant Christmas tree at church after our Christmas program. Merry Christmas everyone!

Bake-a-thon

This year I baked some fun things for gifts for all Jacob's teachers at church. On Wednesday nights he has 3 men teachers that rotate. We thought the best gift for them was baked goods! Thanks Jen for all the tips on the spiral cookies. The dough is the tastiest and chewiest sugar cookie ever!!

Ryan's favorite thing about Christmas

We dug out our wrapping paper box from under the bed. Since it is so large, there is NOWHERE else to put it so it stays in the living room until we are done wrapping. Ryan thinks it is the greatest thing ever...we certainly don't need to buy him any presents as this covers all the bases for him.

Uncle Pete (Red) - this phone you gave Jacob way back is also a favorite for Ryan. He calls his daddy several times a day :)

what we're up to...

Here's Ryan doing his favorite thing lately - reading this book - not any other one - just this one :) He says "Cccccc" when you get to that page.. too cute...He's also wearing the cute Christmas shirt I made for Jacob way back.

I found a fun craft idea on Pinterest...Making scarves out of t-shirts. I made a ton and sold a few at a craft fair today.
Here are some yummy cookies I made for Jacob's class treat bags. They are Nutter Butters covered in white chocolate. YUMMY!
and here's Jacob these days...he's looking so grown up. He's doing his homework :)

Merry Christmas everyone!

Thanksgiving

We started off the Friday before Thanksgiving with a picknic with Jacob at school. Cold and windy day - but such fun...Daddy got to come for a few minutes too!

Grandma and Papaw arrived and the boys couldn't get enough of them!

Thanksgiving Day was awesome. Here is Hank with our 20 lb. turkey. It came out sooooo good.
all the fixins

Ryan (our meat-a-holic) checked out the turkey leg - but enjoyed it better once we cut it up for him
