Christmas Tree Time!

Today we got to go get our Christmas Tree.  The kids love to go up there and pick out a tree.  I think that CJ's favorite part is riding in the wagon behind the tractor on the way up the mountain.  Savannah loves the hot chocolate and marshmallows.  CJ would have nothing to do with Santa Claus but Savannah would talk to him.  We had a great time!

Savannah's Yellow Medal Award

Savannah got the yellow medal award today at school.  You get this for good behavior.  We are so proud of her and very thankful that she listens well at school.  God has blessed us with a great girl!

Pumpkin Patch 2015

We had the pumpkin patch again this year at church.  The kids loved helping at the patch. Here are some pictures of them at the pumpkin patch.

 Trying to get a picture of them together. 

 Savannah acts like she loves her brother so much!

Camping

We were able to go camping again this year at Grayson Highlands State Park.  It was so much fun.  We had a blast and so did the kids.  The weather was cooler this year but it did not snow like it did the first year we went, which was a blessing.  We did the Virginia Creeper Trail again this year and it was awesome!  We were so glad to have Kelsey come and join us again this year.  She got to experience tent camping with us.  The Wyant's were able to come for the first time and of course the Richardson's and Specht's.  Here are some pictures from our trip.

 CJ was one tired boy!!

Each of the five kids carved their own pumpkins. 

Savannah's 6th Birthday Party

Today we got to celebrate Savannah's Birthday with her friends.  She had a dance, cheer, and tumble party at the YMCA.  They had a great time.  Her dance teacher even came and taught them a dance.  They played musical chairs, freeze dance, and Barbie charades.  The girls loved it.  Thanks to all who came out to celebrate with Savannah.  

Savannah is 6 years old!

Savannah turned 6 years old today.  I can't believe how grown up she is getting.  She is such a joy to be around.  Savannah has the most loving, caring spirit.  Charlie cooked her breakfast this morning for her Birthday.  We sang Happy Birthday to her with a candle in her toast.  She then wanted to eat Mexican for supper because she loves some cheese dip.  We told her the story about the day she was born and she loved it.  It made Charlie and I a little sad telling her because of how big she is getting.  We love you Savannah!  Thanks to Pa-Paw for the beautiful Barbie doll cake.  

Beach Time

We got to go to the beach with Charlie's Dad this year.  We had a great time.  The kids loved having Pa-Paw to play with in the ocean and in the sand.  We even got to go play putt-putt one night.  That was quite an adventure with Savannah and CJ.  CJ kept calling it "pup pup boogie" from Paw Patrol.  He kept telling us he wanted to play more "pup pup boogie."  It was funny to watch his expression when on the 18th hole he could not get his ball back.  He kept looking in the hole to try to find it.  Overall we had great weather and could not have asked for a better time.
