And our biggest Christmas surprise!

Gramma Glo couldn't resist getting the kids a puppy named Peanut Butter. Kudos to her because she has to keep him at her house and he is VERY fiesty.

Helping with Multiple trees

OK- I know I am way behind, but we were blessed to help trim 2 trees this year- with Aunt Heather and Grammy & Papa Pittman

Thankful for 10 years of Marriage!

We had a bittersweet anniversary this year but were mostly extremely grateful to be together. Scott had been hoping for years to be able to take a trip together for our 10th anniversary. Unexpectedly, we ended up traveling to London- a not so romantic way to spend the day- dashing through airports and traveling with another family. But, we did get a night in London a week or so later! Last Sunday, we talked with a couple who have been married 70 years. Wow! May the Lord give us many more years together.

With the loot

Here's the birthday girl with her presents from Gramma & Papa Pittman. The boxes arrived at our house the night before her birthday- it was perfect! Her other grandparents were able to be with us- she is a precious and blessed little girl!

Katie turns 4

Katie turned 4 on October 11. Anna and Mikey and went to the bazaar and bought a party dress and shoes for her. I should have known that I needed to find a dress that cost more than 2 dollars. After about an hour, the front of the dress started shredding. Then, at her party, the skirt ripped from the top of the dress. So, we found another party dress...... Next time, I'll have to look for the $5 dresses- maybe it will last for a few more wearings!

All Dressed Up

Last week we celebrated a local holiday. Here are the kids all dressed up, and they are showing off the designs we made on their hands with henna. For this holiday, you dress up in new clothes (including all the accessories!) and visit all your friends to wish them happy holidays. The kids had a great time.

Happy Birthday Mikey!

Mikey wanted to go swimming for his 6th birthday and was surprised at the pool by the arrival of friends!

An ice cream treat for his birthday.
