A time of giving

A few weeks ago we filled our shoe boxes!
This is something that we love to do and look forward to each year. Both Drew and Grace Anne were very excited about shopping for another child and had a good time at the Dollar Tree filling up the boxes.:-)
We came home and packed the boxes, wrote letters to the children that will receive the boxes and prayed over the boxes. This is always a special moment that I love sharing with my children and I pray that they will always have a giving heart.


Drew working on his letter/picture to put in the box.

Grace Anne writing her letter.

All packed up and ready to go!:-) This year we paid for the postage online so we will be able to track the the boxes and see which country they go to. We are super excited and can't wait to see where they end up!
As the holiday's are quickly approaching, I can't help but think of all the blessings that we have encountered this year. We have so much to be thankful for, God is so good!
I pray that you have a Happy Thanksgiving and a Very Merry Christmas!

Halloween weekend

I am so over Halloween!HA!
For some reason, the city decided to move Halloween to the 30th this year?!?!? So, this was the first time EVER that my kids have gone trick or treating. We started off our evening by having a spooky dinner.............

monster fingers, mummy wraps, and apple bites!
Then I got my little rock star and pirate ready.
After our photo shoot, we went and walked our neighborhood and got LOTS of candy!
Then on HALLOWEEN, Sunday Oct. 31st. We went to our church fall festival.
We had a house full of girls come over and get ready before heading to the festival(poor Drew!!!HAHA!).
Here are some pictures of our photo shoot!

Grace Anne and her BF Maggie

All the girls!

Finally here are some pictures from the fall festival.

The matching pirates!HA! Drew and Noah






That's all folks!:-)

Pumpkin Family Night

I am about a week behind on posting our Pumpkin family night.
This family night consisted of eating pizza(that had a pumpkin face), baking pumpkin cookies and playing BINGO! I don't have many pictures, but here are the ones I have from our fun family night.





We also painted our pumpkin's but I don't have pictures of that either, but they turned out sooo cute!
Well, that is all for now! Check back in a few days for Halloween pictures!:-)
