Finally an Update



Ok, Ok. So it has been a few weeks since the last post. But we've been busy. You know, the whole shopping thing, the (yo ho) sending Christmas cards, the Christmas choir recitals, birthdays, etc., etc., etc. Take a look down the page a bit for a few updates and pictures since Thanksgiving.

The picture above we made last night while getting a good picture of the girls for the Christmas cards. You'll have to wait to get your card to get the Christmas picture but this one should tide you over. The one below of me and Kerrie was from this past Saturday before we headed to her office Christmas party. Hope everyone is having a great Christmas season so far.


1-3



On the 4th, Morgan turned the big 1-3. Please keep all the prayers coming in Kerrie's and my direction. Mo had 5 of her friends over last Friday night for a little slumber action. Lets just say they went to bed when K and I were getting up Saturday morning.

So This Is Christmas



On the day after Thanksgiving, the house got its first taste of Christmas decorations. We found out pretty quick that we needed more stuff considering the slightly larger spaces to fill this year. Anyway, we are pretty happy with the tree and the girls are quite excited about their "fun" tree.


Happy Holidays.


Me wrestling with the tree. We'll call it a draw.


The living room.


Without lights.


The staircase.


So it's not the Griswalds but we're happy with it.

Boo


Thanksgiving is Thanksliving



For Thanksgiving, Kerrie's family made the drive over from Mobile. As you can tell, we had some really traditional meals. Actually, besides the jambalaya and Micah's nice Italian cooking, we did have some normal holiday food. The crew all arrived on Monday and stayed with us until Friday. In between, there was a lot of playing, decorating for Christmas, and way too much eating.

Last year, it snowed in DC on Thanksgiving (link). This year, we are washing the car in the sun. God loves Texas.
