Thanksgiving 2014

We were super sad that Daddy-O had to work this Thanksgiving.  We were very thankful to be able to see our family, though.  We went to Mimi and Grandpa's first and then on to Grandma and Papa's.

The cousins minus a few.

Grandma and Papa with their great-grands.

I love them so much.

I snuck in on these 2.  Anything Joss wants to do, Grandma agrees!

                                        

The men folk

The kid table :)

Wait, how did this pic get in here...oh, that's right...because we went shopping that night!  We might be "cray-cray"!

A few random cute pics

Seriously....I can't even stand the cuteness.

This is the first year Joss has willingly taken a pic with Santa...even knowing Poppi was behind the beard!!

Sweetness!

Joss and Sadie

Joss and her buddy, Avery.  These 2 together are a hot mess!

This is Joss and her self named "best friend cookie chicken", Savannah.  I love how much she loves her!  This picture was taken shortly after a serious meltdown when Joss found out Savannah and her other friend, Jessica, weren't coming to church that night.  Savannah saved the day by coming to see Joss!

Jaxon helping in nursery at church.  These kids LOVE him!

Charis Thanksgiving Par-tay

We are very blessed to be a part of a small co-op group.  The kids get along great as do the moms and we really all just enjoy each others company.  We had a fun Thanksgiving feast where we packed Operation Christmas Child boxes, ate, and of course the kids ran wild!!

Science Center Fun!

We hadn't been to the Science Center since they added the Sci-aquarium.  So when some sweet friends invited us, we jumped at the chance!!  It was a LOT of fun!  The aquarium wasn't as big as I was expecting but it was still great!

This crazy crew!!

Bryson was so sweet to buy all the kids these dino hats.  Joss wouldn't wear hers so I happily obliged ;)

Trees up before Thanksgiving?!?

Yep!  Who made that "rule" anyway??  My new rule is I love my Christmas decorations, I am thankful for them so I want to see them for as long as possible.

Holiday for Her 2014

We had our second annual Holiday for Her at Life on Lexington this year.  It is always a beautiful event.  This year just seemed....special.  The decorations, the entertainment, the speaker....they were all phenomenal!  

These girls were being silly while we were setting up!  Man they're cute!

Me and Daddy-O 

Me and my bestie, Leslie 

This was Jaxon's first time getting to serve.  He was so excited!  Wow...when did he get so big?! 

Halloween 2014

We decided to paint our pumpkins this year.  It was a great idea....until it rained....and the washable paint, well, washed off.  

 Some people from our Friday co-op decided to grab a few free donuts before class.  

Hot-N-Ready!

Waiting for the Storybook Adventure at church!

These 2 sure do love each other!
