Painting, Trees, and Super Special Visitors

I just realized that it had been one month since I last posted!  Yikes!

I better get to posting or I'm gonna get behind.  Story of my life sometimes. :)

We had a very blessed Thanksgiving with family and ate far too much.  I cooked, so I didn't get very many pictures.  Then we put our tree up the week after Thanksgiving, after the girls and I painted our kitchen!  It went from yucky cream/white to a wonderful sage green.  It only took us painting it three coats!  That was after I decided the first color I chose was too light. :)  But we love it!

We had promised Holly that we'd use colored lights on the CHRISTmas tree this year, so we did!  My Mama only used color lights on our tree while I was growing up and looking at our tree this year brings back some good memories. :)

We had some pretty special visitors from Atlanta the weekend after Thanksgiving.
I love this picture of Pa with Aidan.  One of my all time faves!

Vicki, Trent, and Aidan came up and we had the best time!!!  I just love this little family so very much!

Look at that precious face!  Is he not the cutest kid ever?!

He is Jenn Jenn's silly boy!  I miss him very much and I can't wait to see him again in a few weeks!!!

We went over to the airport to pick up Aunt Pat.  Sadly I never got a picture of her. :(

I'm doing another post about our sweet sister Amanda's college graduation that we attended last weekend.

We are all ready to celebrate CHRISTmas and the birth of our Savior!!!

Wonderful Weekend

We've had the most wonderful weekend with Vicki, Trent, & Aidan!

Look at this sweet handsome boy, how can you not have a good time?! :)

We saved one of the chicks for him to name, so this is George! (After Curious George!) So for some of his pictures we had to include some baby chicks.

I love Love LOVE this picture!

His eyes are absolutely gorgeous!

And I totally enjoyed being a substitute Mom-mom!

Saturday we ventured up to the Creation Museum. I think they all enjoyed it!

We had went ahead of Brian, Vicki, & Trent in the museum so we made it out to the gardens and petting zoo before they did.

This trip Anna decided to ride Gomer.

Later on Aidan surprised everyone and decided he wanted to ride her also!

I thought it was very fitting for there to be a rainbow on our way home!

Silly boy! :o)

I am so proud of this precious family and their steps of faith that they are continuing to take. God has some pretty special plans for their lives! Today is their 1 year anniversary; so Happy Anniversary Vicki and Trent!!!

We love you all and can't wait to have you come back up to see us and we'll hopefully get to come see you guys soon too!

Mom-Mom's Runner-Up

We are jumping for joy around these parts........

Oh, and his mom and dad too!

In regards to the title of this post:

He says I remind him of his Mom-Mom (my sweet sister:)!!!
