12 Days of Christmas!

The days leading up to Christmas are always so much fun! 

This little elf shows up on the first day of December. We adore our scout elf, Chippy!



We enjoy making Christmas ornaments...

These scented ornaments had Owen's room smelling magnificent!



This year we saw Santa on Ice at the Beau Rivage...




We also saw Disney on Ice Celebrations!





Throughout the month of December I taught the boys about Jesus. We practiced giving by doing random acts of kindness...

We baked cookies and brought them to the State Troopers, Biloxi Fire Department, and the D'Iberville Police Officers.






We brought toiletries and laundry detergent to the Wiggins Children's Village...



We "shared a meal" with a stranger. The boys loved packing these meals and making the Christmas Cards to put inside the meal package...








We also packed up food, toiletries, and baby items to donate to the Women's Resource Center...


Before heading to Enterprise for Christmas, we helped with the church Angel Tree Party for Prison Ministries...



Stay tuned for Christmas Eve and Christmas Fun!

Thanksgiving!

We spent Thanksgiving week in Arab this year. We ate lots of food and counted our blessings! We have so much to be thankful for!




We are thankful we got to meet up with sweet friends from Birmingham! We met Sara, Everett, and Adelaide to watch the Peanut Movie while we were in North Alabama. The boys did not care to take a picture. :)


Every year we go to Christmas in the Park in Arab. The boys absolutely love this tradition!








I am so thankful for my precious family!

Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree!

Decorating the Christmas Tree is more magical every year. I love watching the boys decorate the Christmas tree. I also love telling them the meaning behind all of their ornaments. Decorating the Christmas tree was so sweet....both boys were able to help this year! We decorated before going to Arab for Thanksgiving.....
