Four Christmases

Simply having a Wonderful Christmas Time: Christmas Eve was spent with Poppa & Gigi and the Dudleys... Also enjoyed a relaxing lazy Christmas day with just our Party of Five.  Made it to a special day at Lala's and then saw some Ottes at Grandpa Dana's!

Caraline in "Lost Boys"

So proud of all the hard work and dedication Caraline put into One Act Play this year... she got to play one of Neverland's Lost Boys in the "Lost Boys" play along with her friends, Jake and Kinsey. Such a wonderfully magic production put on by the middle school!

Thankful for these Turkeys

We loved getting to join Christian at his pre-school for a yummy Thanksgiving lunch... we then spent the weekend in Gilmer at our annual Thanksmas with Drew's family (minus Caraline who was busy at theater practice for her One Act Play competition).

Halloween 2k15

I absolutely fell in love with these Hansel and Gretel costumes that Caraline and Christian wore for Halloween... had fun Trick or Treating with the Dudleys and hanging out at their place afterwards with Poppa and Gigi <3 p="">

Hansel and Gretel at Halloween

Caraline was inspired to be Gretel, after portraying her in the district-wide school talent show. So she was able to talk Christian into dressing up with her for Halloween!

Little Bulldog

Christian loves loves loves going to HS football games, but running through the tunnel and meeting the bulldog (at Homecoming) made his night!

American Idol!

Caleb was so excited to get to try out for American Idol in Little Rock... we really loved the weekend with the older two.  Downtown was a ton of fun!  We also came home with a new addition to the family, Miss Jade.  She is our new Maine Coon who can never replace our beloved Jagger and Jackson; however, we were so excited to bring home our sweet little black kitty-kat.  Summer was awesome!

Beach Vacay

We had the time of our lives, this summer, when we were able to stay in Galveston with family... our kiddos really enjoyed each other and it was a very special time filled with a lifetime of memories.

National Day of Prayer

So proud of Caleb's amazing guitar/singing as he grows older.  He really has become so talented as he establishes himself as a singer-songwriter.  He was able to help lead worship today at the National Day of Prayer, before school.  He also leads worship every Monday night for FCA fellowship at the HS. He is helping lead worship for the youth of Friendly Baptist Church on Wednesdays as well.

Caraline's dance recital

Miss Caraline finished up her first year of drill team prep class at Dance N Drill with an impressive kick routine at the annual recital.  It was clear to everyone that she had the highest, straightest kicks in the class!  She is so excited to pursue drill team, while juggling basketball and theater, so she can eventually join the HS drill team.

Christian turns 3!

Little Man had a wonderful Monstrous birthday filled with googly eyes and little creatures for all of his family and friends to enjoy.

Love their faces!
