Christmas Eve

We hosted Christmas Eve with Eric’s family this year.  It was a great time with family and lots of delicious food.  I didn’t get many pictures because I was busy hostessing.  Also, Emma and Ava both started running fevers on Thursday evening. They are feeling much better now, but it was rough having them sick [...]

Christmas Decorations

Here are some pictures of our Christmas decorations this year. Here is our front door.  I’ve had this wreath for a while.  I love that it’s square, but it needed something.  I got the “R” at Hobby Lobby, painted it red, and then attached it with some fishing line. We have a tree in our [...]

Miracle on Main Street

A couple of weeks ago was the children’s program at our church.  The play was called “Miracle on Main Street”.  The play is about a group of kids that want to have their Nativity pageant in the town square, but the mayor won’t let them because it’s not politically correct.  The kids stand up for [...]

Christmas Traditions

I have several major Christmas events to blog about but still don’t have the pictures edited yet.  I’m going to try to get caught up this week. I am loving Christmas this year with my family! Tonight we took the kids to look at Christmas lights, but first we let them each open a little [...]

Emma is 4!

Sunday was Emma’s 4th birthday, and since we had already had her party,  we wanted to do something fun for her.  She told us she wanted to go to Dollywood.  Wesley’s best buddy Wyatt’s birthday party was Sunday afternoon, so he hung out with the Giffords all day so he wouldn’t miss that. After church [...]

More Birthday Fun

Today Eric’s Dad and his wife Rhonda came over for a visit, and to see the birthday girl.  They brought Emma some more furniture for her doll house and the minivan.  She was so happy! Eric’s Dad (Peepaw), Eric and the kids. The Reagan men.  Three generations. Emma and Peepaw ( wearing Ava’s bow.) Peepaw [...]

Emma’s 4th Birthday Party

This afternoon we celebrated Emma’s birthday at Build-a-Bear.  All in all it was a really fun party.  It was a little stressful for the parents (at least for me it was).  I think a lot of that had to do with having to keep up with Ava during the party.  She was a little wild. [...]

A Few Things

Today Emma had her little birthday celebration at Mother’s Day Out.  She took cookies and juice for her little class and she was so excited about it! She came home wearing this crown.  Apparently she was queen of her class for the day.  We also went to Party City after school and she picked out [...]

Gingerbread Houses

Today, we met at my Mom’s house to make gingerbread houses and cookies.  It’s another Christmas tradition that we look forward to every year. Emma making her gingerbread cookies. Ava thought they were very yummy! Wesley’s gingerbread boy. Heather and Olivia working hard. Here are the gingerbread houses! Heather’s Adam’s Mine. Megan’s Wesley, was the [...]

Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  We usually make three stops on Thanksgiving.  My mom’s for lunch, Eric’s grandmother’s for a second lunch, and my Mamaw’s house for dinner. Here is my sweet little family that I am so thankful for. Ava really loved Thanksgiving food! She ate more than Wesley and Emma! I’m not sure [...]
