Even though I spent half the month sick, we still had an awesome December.
Claudia went Deer Hunting:
We celebrated Jason’s Birthday, and he got a new pair of boots!
We had a wonderful Christmas:
Jason’s gifts:
My gifts:
We visited Big Nannie:
Ate at the Varsity:
And ended the year with a quite evening at home with some oysters!
I started to get sick about 10 days ago and was diagnosed with Shingles last Wednesday. This is what it currently looks like:
Yucky stuff. It also hurts, a lot! Not necessarily the rash itself, but my whole arm hurts. Just lightly touching my arm hurts.
I am a little sad that I had to cancel plans to attend 3 different parties, bake cookies with my kids, and didn’t finish my Christmas cards. But I am getting better each day and hope to 100% by Christmas Eve.
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I love the weather, the food, and just the opportunity to hang out with family. This year, we are feeling really blessed and very thankful for all the opportunities that God has provided us with!
We had an exciting weekend. Jason and Marley went deer hunting, and I took Claudia to the American Girl store.
I was so disappointed when I realized that I left my memory card in my computer (at home), so I could only take pictures on my I-phone.
She was so excited and we had a great time. The store was amazing and the Bistro was so cute!
Jason and Marley saw a deer, but were unable to get a good shot.
This is Marley taking a nap in the deer stand:
Jeremy killed a coyote:
Jason went back into the woods on Monday, and he and his brother both killed a deer:
All treats at our house. So many, that I think I might have to go through a detox!
The girls looked cute in their costumes. Marley was a witch:
Claudia was a Bumble Bee:
Even Jason and I dressed up:
We tried to dress Maya up too, but she would only let us take one picture:
The girls got a ton of candy. Actually, Marley weighed her bag and it was 5 pounds!
Happy Halloween!
Claudia loves bacon, so much that we have nicknamed her “Bacon”. She was so excited when Jason brought home this pack from the meat market. It did not did last long!
We went to the Great Clips 300 labor day weekend. This is the second year that we met up with family to enjoy the race. The girls loved the race and their attention span was better this year!
We hope to make going to the race a family tradition!
