Stephen and Brianne Get Hitched

Stephen and Brianne got married the first weekend in December!!! It was a wonderful weekend, at the Hyatt hotel/retreat outside of Bastrop. We even had a visit from Santa with his "reindeer"!Callie and Jack were in the wedding, with Elisabeth, Hogan, Gates, and Beck Leftwich. Everyone looked so cute, and did great during the ceremony! The kids had such a fun time together, and Bryan and I really enjoyed being with all of our "buddies"--it was so fun to just hang out and talk about the good 'ole times! We love Brianne (and Stephen, too!), and are so excited for them in this new life together.

Thanksgiving Wreath

I did a fun project with the kids for Thanksgiving--the kids made tags of things they are thankful for, and we tied them to the wreath on the front door. Turned out really cute, and it was sweet to see the things Jack had drawn, and Callie had written. I'm thankful for my kiddos!

Thanksgiving in Granbury

Bryan's Aunt and Uncle ("Nonnie" and "Granddad") invited everyone to come to their house in Granbury for Thanksgiving this year. Alli and Scott didn't come---Baby Bean was not allowing Mommy to travel anymore! It was great to be together with everyone, but Macie had been sick with a respiratory virus and got a LOT worse even on the way there. She was running fever, horrible cough, eyes watering, vomiting from drainage----she looked and felt so terrible. So, instead of going on to Sulphur Springs per our plan, we cut the visit short and came home. We still ate some yummy food and the older kiddos sure had fun with their cousins. Brad's absence was felt, as expected, but especially during the A&M/tu game! I'm sure he did his own yelling from up there...

Jack's Birthday-Day

Jack had a fun day today, as a now-5-year-old! He wanted to go to Chuck E Cheese for dinner and to celebrate...joy...so we did! He had a great time, and I suppose we did, too!
