Family Fun up until December 1st

Here are a few more pictures from November...

We stopped to get an ice cream treat one day when taking Luke home from school...

We love how excited Luke gets when I pick him up!  Me and Kelly had lunch that day and figured no need for us both to get out in the cold!

I got Marty's one day at lunch and thought of PaPa - fried chicken, hushpuppies and fries!  

It was GOOD!

Corey brought back his dad's old tractor to work on 

Our sweet sponsor child in the DRC orphanage

Mom has been sending me encouraging emails - sure do love her! 

The City workers finally came and worked on the ditch by our house that was caving in! 

The Boltons came over for chicken pastry dinner - we sure have missed them! 

Ella enjoyed playing with Camden - and so did I!

I sure do love this whole family! 

We finally worked on getting the tree up! 

Corey and Ella did most of it while I took a nap 

I woke up and took a picture - Corey looks thrilled! 

Ella, mom and I had a shopping day but I was SO tired that we only made it to a few stores and I needed a nap.

I love spending time with both of them - Five Guys and Baskin Robbins made it worth our trip :)  

We rode downtown for Candyland but by this point it was raining so it was pretty much over! 

The Harrells rode with us and we ate a quick dinner from Aggies with them before Ella got car sick and the fun was over! 

We were home and crashing by 8 pm - Caleb had been gone for 24 hours and I sure did miss him.

Here we are watching the movie "The Star" 

Love when I get pictures from friends!

Caleb LOVES Pierce and all his friends! 

We continued working on the tree Sunday after church 

I was sitting and just handing ornaments up - all three of these wanted to be on the ladder 

Playing on the ladder while it was in the house 

Dinner at Mammys and her sweet darlings gave her a present early - Charlie Brown nativity pieces! 

Mammy loves Charlie Brown stuff!

That night was SO warm so we headed to ride the train while we could!

Waiting in line

I sure am thankful these people are mine! 

Ella was being silly while we waited in line 

Raynor Cousins! 

These 4 sure do have a blast together!  

Ready to ride! 

My sweet riding buddy loved raising her hands and screaming in the tunnel

Brooklynn loved it too!  Owen was really excited about the lights!

Our family on the train - I was cold and worried about all my hair falling out but rode anyway! 

Ella rode with me and Caleb and Corey rode together!

Caleb and Owen are such good buddies! 

The Raynor Crew - ready for Christmas!

Now its finally time to celebrate - my kids can't wait for Christmas!
