We love our sweet neighbor Kaden. He is more like their little brother...I took the three of them to pump it up the other day and got this pic...just had to share it. Such sweet friends!
I had a fun birthday this year! Wesley Mahlon and Sara Beth bought me roses and cake and Aunt Maggie came into town to keep the twins so Wesley and I could celebrate and go to two different Christmas parties! Busy night but lots of fun!
singing and blowing out my candles!
All dressed up and ready to go!
A few cute smiles with aunt Maggie
Waiting for the stockings to be full of something!
We had so much fun this year decorating the tree...thankfully I bought a huge container of shatterproof ornaments at the end of the season last year! I had such good helpers!
my favorite part was when I looked and Mahlon had put all of his ornaments on 2 branches. He was so proud!
The first Saturday in December was a busy one for us! We went to the Madison Christmas parade that morning...
got to meet Santa and Mrs. Claus...though they weren't so sure about it!
Then we were off to the church for a cookie swap!
lots of sprinkles 
and even more icing!
and lots of smiles with Mrs. Sherlie!
Lani's first baby shower was thanksgiving weekend. We had so much fun getting everything together for baby Braden.
Some decorations and a "well wishes" tree for the guests to leave sweet notes for Braden, Lani and Brian.
These girls and moms have been friends for a LONG time!
The hostesses minus Marshall.
Sara Beth had a big time helping Aunt Lani open all of her gifts. I think she wishes they were all presents for her!
Finally got a family picture...though we weren't all smiles.
Just wanted to share a few cute photos from the Christmas photo shoot. They had so much fun...sweet little smiles!
Thanksgiving weekend we woke to CHIP the Elf at Doc and Cheri's house! What a fun surprise! Not really sure they understand that CHIP is the one in charge of telling Santa that they are naughty or nice but it sure is fun to see what he gets into at night while we sleep!
We had great Thanksgiving weekend in Soso...4 days! That included lots of fishing, cow feeding, pecan picking, eating, the movie "Arthur Christmas" and a baby shower for baby Braden!
This sweet baby was born on Thanksgiving day! She couldn't stand up yet and was so soft and fluffy!
These baby boys were twins!! Had to take a picture of my twins with cow twins!! So cute!
Riding in the truck getting ready to feed the cows!
Picking our own pecans! This was a good pecan year...these trees were planted at the old home place(where my dad grew up) and I can remember as a child going out and picking pecans, cracking them, eating them but best of all mom making pecan pie!! Now my sweet babies can join in...they aren't pecan eaters yet, but they enjoyed finding them...kinda like an Easter Egg hunt!
I love this pic of Wesley and Mahlon and the huge pecan tree...so sweet!
Riding in the back of Doc's pick-up!
Her favorite thing to do...feed the cows!
Disney on Ice was in Jackson and we decided to Surprise the kids with tickets! They had no clue where we were going...only that Mickey and Minnie would be there with some friends! We had a dinner date at Sal and Mookies and had pizza and ice cream and then headed to the show! They loved it!! I don't think they moved until intermission and then they wanted to know when the movie came back on!!
Their favorites were Peter Pan, Tickerbell and Captain Hook! They pretend to be pirates with daddy and he is Captain Hook. so it was a treat to see the real Captain Hook! Their little faces lit up!!
Lilo and Stitch, The Lion King, and Mickey and Minnie with lots of friends were there too! They LOVED the night and can't wait for them to come back! I can't wait to take them to Disney World!!
November 6, 2011 was the official groundbreaking ceremony for our church! We are so thankful to be a part of such a wonderful church plant! We are charter members and have loved seeing how much our church has grown and we are so blessed to be surrounded by such a loving church family. We have seen many changes in the past 5 years...meeting in a cafeteria, gym, movie theater, auditorium and we finally will have a place to call home!! What a JOY to be a part of something so special!
Not sure Mahlon and Sara Beth really knew what was going on but they sure did love playing in the dirt! And they refused to be in the group picture!! OH WELL! At least I snapped a few them together!
Keep our church family in your prayers. This is just the beginning of the wonderful things the LORD has is store for Madison Heights Church PCA.
