A beautiful sunrise was in full bloom as we were loading up.
In the first valley we came to, a blanket of fog was hanging in the low spots.
Great Granny gave Marian a rocking chair.
Atlanta wanted Stockton and Carolina to pick out their own Christmas presents at Hobby Lobby. I think we spent 4 hours there and didn’t even make it to every isle. They had so much fun and got some real treasures.

It could be because we haven’t seen her in so long…or perhaps because she’s the cutest baby ever…or maybe it’s on account of her being the first grand baby…whatever the reason, she’s enjoying it and so are we!

Marian after services Sunday morning
After church, we had a picnic lunch and then a little hike
Granny and the Tidwell’s joined us for the day, too.
They brought Marian the cutest Christmas gift, an antique toy ironing board.

Thanksgiving is always better with Christmas decorations up.
Carolina made this darling banner for the front entry.
We decided to use some of my vintage luggage for a fun new holiday look.
In the kitchen, our Christmas village lights up this green suitcase.
Thanksgiving lunch consisted of all the traditional Thanksgiving dishes. The turkey was wild and harvested by the boys.
It was kind of hard to concentrate on the food with Marian stealing the show.

Late tonight, the Goodwins arrived from Tennessee. Marian wasn’t too sure about all the strange faces that she hadn’t seen in a while. We enjoyed watching her while mom and dad had some supper.
The next morning, Marian was having a little breakfast herself.
She let Stockton feed her some sweet potato.
That evening, she fell asleep in Aunt Carolina’s arms.

On the way to Wednesday night services at the Matador Church of Christ, I had everybody hanging out the windows trying to get a good picture of a beautiful sunset. These are the best shots.

November Snow

A cold snap brought some pretty snow cover that lasted a day or two. The kids enjoyed bringing out the hot chocolate and warm blankets. It certainly got everyone in a holiday mood.
