MLK Weekend

What a great weekend!!!

We had such a wonderful weekend this past weekend. We didn't know Daddy had the day off until he come home from on work on Friday. We were all so excited. Saturday was a much needed lazy day! We all slept late and hung around the house all day. Sunday started out ruff. We still haven't gotten used to have 2 kids on Sundays. We (mainly me) need to get up a little earlier. We made it to church but there was NO seats left...so we worked in the nursery. (We can't wait to get into the new building!!) We always enjoy working in the nursery, but this Sunday we want to go to church!!! Then Sunday night we went over to the Etter's to celebrate Uncle Richard's birthday!! Happy Birthday Richard! We love you! It was so good to see our friends and Baby Owen!! So much to be thankful for!

Monday we got up and Maggie and I made blue berry muffins. She sat in her bumbo and smiled and smiled! :) Then we headed off to the park. While Maggie and I ran a lap Daddy and Hunter played at the playground. Then we all went to say hello to the prairie dogs. Hunter started to get hungry so we went back to the house to eat a fast lunch. Then it was on to the Zoo. Hunter loves the Zoo! And this was Maggie's first trip! She was awake most of the time. Hunter was NOT happy about leaving (he needed a nap!!!). He really wanted to play at the playground by the Zoo! As we were driving by to go home he said, "Look there is a spot right there! You can park right there and I can play". We didn't play. He was too tired! We ended our wonderful Monday be going to Lifegroup! It was our first meeting back since the Holidays and it was so great to see everyone! We are so excited about the new year and what the Lord has for us and our group.

We had such a great weekend! Thank you Lord for time at home with family and friends! Here are a few pictures from this weekend! :)

What an amazing Christmas!!!

I'm sorry it has been soo long since our last post. I'm not a very good blogger! :( We had an amazing Christmas this year! Wow! Where do I start...

Coach and Honey were able to come and spend Christmas with us and they got here just in time. IT SNOWED!!!! Not just a little snow...like over 6 inches of the white stuff! We had heard there might be a possibility of snow, but did not think we would wake up to it on Christmas Eve! Thank you Lord!!! It was an early Christmas present! Hunter LOVED it! He made snow angles with Honey, built a snowman, and had a snow ball fight! It was such a good snow we had a REAL White Christmas right here in Abilene.

Hunter was super excited about Santa this year. He knew what was going on this year. He also knew why we were celebrating Christmas. "It's Jesus' birthday!" He would walk around singing Happy Birthday Jesus and many other Christmas songs. So sweet!

Christmas Eve night we ate dinner and watched our new favorite Christmas movie, "Prep and Landing" and made cookies for Santa. Hunter had to make Santa chocolate chip cookies and leave him some pink milk. He was so excited!

On Christmas morning he was very excited to see what Santa had brought. He got his camera!!!! He had been telling us for months about how he wanted a camera to take pictures of Maggie from Santa. He loved all his toys! He would open something or find something under the tree and then not want to open anything else. I think he would have been fine with just one present. :) Such a sweet boy!!! Maggie got a teddy bear from Hunter and a new dolly from Santa. She was so excited she fell asleep while opening her presents! :) The rest of the day we hung out with family. It was so nice! We are so blessed!

Nanna, Grumpy and Uncle Dav came for New Years! Hunter was super excited to see everyone! We had a wonderful time with them, too! Hunter got his Handy Manny Tool Work Shop! He was sooo excited! He had watched the handy manny commercial every morning and really wanted that tool shop! Maggie got some much needed clothes and a cute dolly from her Nie-Nie. We were sad she couldn't be with us!!! :( We enjoyed the weekend with Nanna, Grumpy and David!

We had such a wonderful Christmas and New Years! The Lord is soo good! We are so thankful for our family! We are so thankful for 2 wonderful kids and such loving parents! Life couldn't get much better than this!
