week of family fun

this has been a special week for our family...

wednesday...
 Matthew came in from Nashville... man!... it is so good to see him.
we always look forward to him coming home!

Jordyn drove in from Georgia...  we love as well.. and it is always good to see him too!

our family loves to play games, so after church they (i didn't make it) stayed up 'til early the next morning playing ROOK
.. i was awaken by screams at midnight as they played
...it was cool

we enjoy our "whole" family being together.
it isn't always possible that we are here at the same time, so we are EXCITED.


Happy Birthday Karlie!

then our little Karlie celebrated her first birthday
to say that we love her is an understatement.... she loves being loved on!
for her birthday she got a new outfit, a new bag of treats, as well as an editable birthday card.. from us ...plus gifts from others...
can you say spoiled?

thursday...
Jordyn grilled us fillets........ YUm..Yummm.. they were sooooooo good!
and again we ..(yes i did too) ...stayed up until midnight playing Rook.

and then today we start going to Christmas gatherings...
i love all this family time!
