Christmas Tree Hunt

Nana and Greg (and Maggie too!) joined us at Mystic Farm yesterday to pick out the perfect Christmas tree. I really don't feel like our house is complete without a live tree and I love the Leland Cypress lot at this farm. I think we found a beautiful one!

Claire's First Grade Thanksgiving Feast

Claire celebrated Thanksgiving with her 1st grade class by having a feast! Camdyn came too and big sister made an Indian headband for her! So sweet! These girls are two of the blessings I am most thankful for.

Thanksgiving at Mom's House

Here are some pictures from Thanksgiving at Mom's house this past weekend. We started a new tradition in making crafts with the kiddos! This year we made pilgrim hats and made wreath ornaments for the Christmas tree. We also celebrated Reese's and Mom's birthdays! I am so thankful for my sweet family. Love you all!

Sewing Project Gifts

Nathan gave me a sewing machine last year for Christmas and I've had a super fun year learning to sew from scratch! I decided to make my niece and nephews Christmas pillowcases this year and made a pillowcase dress for Reese's 6th birthday. Above is a picture of a sling bag I made mom for her birthday! I have really enjoyed learning a new "craft" this year and can't wait to start on another project soon!

Crowsnest Camping Trip

We just got back this morning from a weekend camping trip with our dear Crowsnest Crew! We were blessed with sunny days which were perfect for hiking and chilly nights that weren't as bad as we thought! We did a little bit of outdoor cooking, hiking, and just hanging out! The best part was being away from technology for a while! We are so thankful for our neighbors and even more thankful for their friendship!

Fall Break Disney Trip

Nathan and I went to Disney World with our dear friends Jamison and Kristi over fall break. The girls spent a fun weekend in Charlotte with Mimi and Pops and we scooted down to Orlando! We covered all four parks in two days and had a blast! The best part? Not having to wait in lines to see the princesses or in the long Dumbo ride line! We highly recommend a trip sans kiddos to this magical place! The more we go the more we love it!

Upward Cheerleading

Claire and Camdyn recently finished a new adventure together! Cheerleading! Nathan and I are so proud of the girls for trying new things and for their patience in putting up with "Coach Mommy" as she learned the cheers to teach the squad! We had a good time learning cheers together and look forward to the next Upward season - basketball! This one should be more up Mama's alley!!

Camdyn turns 5

Camdyn enjoyed her 5th birthday with a Luau party at our house! The rain didn't stop us from having a fun time and celebrating Camdyn's special day! We love you doodle bug!!
