It's hard to believe how quickly time passes! I don't know where this year went, but it's almost over already and there is still a lot to do!
 |
| Got all the bags put together for our hotel wedding guests in January! I'm trying to get things done here and there when I have time so hopefully when January 15th rolls around, it will all be done. |
 |
| Arvis had knee surgery and Pattie has been wearing herself out doing all of her chores as well as his so Kenneth fried fish and we carried them dinner one night. I love sitting on their back porch so I had my dinner out here with Pattie while the guys stayed inside. She ended up bringing out peanut butter whiskey for me to tried, but we tried a little too much! Let's just say I'm in no hurry to try any more of it! Yikes... |
 |
| We adopted a family from the Gingerbread House again this year for Christmas so instead of buying each other gifts, we buy gifts for them! This is what my gameroom has looked like for the last two months. I've had five different events going on over that time; now I'm down to just wedding and Christmas stuff in here right now! Most of this on the floor is Christmas for our family. |
 |
| Katie came over for Sophia's bachelorette weekend, but showed up two days early to help me shop and put together all the things to take to Gingerbread House. |
 |
| All sorted and boxed up! One box for each of the three kids and one box for Mom and the household items they needed. We were able to get everything on their lists so we were really happy! Katie, Daniel, Mum, Kenneth and I all chip in because none of us really needs anything and it makes sense to do this. |
 |
| We met Daniel and Sophia at Flying Heart for dinner, then went by Gingerbread House to drop everything off since it's only 10 minutes from there. |
 |
| Daniel got the drumsticks at our table to play the drum rift in "In the Air Tonight"! |
 |
| Then he got one of the props to sing "YMCA" next!! What a night... |
 |
| These two make me happy... |
 |
| Love this time of year when we're reminded of Jesus everywhere we look. How I wish everyone saw Jesus everywhere they looked every day of the year! |
 |
| Grabbed this pic from the bachelorette party Facebook post. They got lost looking for the AirBNB and happened upon a field with donkeys in it so they got out to pet them!! Here's Katie with her new friend. |
 |
| I pulled out some of our purchases from Wyoming and made breakfast one Sunday morning before church! Huckleberries are very blueberry-ish but just a tad more tart. |
 |
| We'll be out of town for the Christmas Festival at church, but I did go help with painting the set. |
 |
| Kelly, Wanda, Angel and I painted while the others went the Admin Council meeting |
 |
| The backdrop behind Santa's sleigh is so pretty!! |
 |
| The Shreveport Riverfront is so festive!! I'm going to have to take another ride down there to look at it. |
 |
| Beautiful sunset before our annual neighborhood Christmas party |
 |
| Christmas tree got a new place since we reconfigured our room |
 |
| Kenneth getting his gift |
 |
| Small group this year due to illness and neighbors out of town, but this was the only weekend we could do it. I really enjoyed the smaller group because we really got to visit and enjoy the company! Ann and Carl came back the next day for some fried fish and football, too! I really like our little island neighborhood - we've been very blessed, for sure. |
