Christmas in Cotton Plant

Friday night we drove over to Cotton  Plant, MS to see the largest display of Christmas inflatables(so said TLC)!  It was fun for the kids and they even had some dress up Christmas characters!! 

Advent Candle

 We lit the advent candle for the LOVE of CHRIST this morning at church.  It was special and we were honored to proclaim HIS love to our church this morning. 

 The girls said John 3:16

Outdoor fun!

We had some beautiful, spring-like weather this week and enjoyed time off from our "routine" and played outside!  Thank you, Lord!

Sage's Christmas Performance

 Sage's MMO class performed some songs on Wednesday morning!  She did an excellent job if I do say so myself!!!

Lindsay and Brett's Wedding

 Last weekend Blake's cousin, Brett, was married in Baton Rouge and we made a trip down for the special event. Then, on Sunday we had Christmas with Blake's extended family!  Auggie woke up with fever on Saturday morning so he and I stayed at my sister's house and missed the wedding:(.  He was a little better on Sunday so we enjoyed an afternoon at the Blouin's and the kids had fun(go figure) opening gifts!!

Sage's new cake set

Handbells at Christmas

 Yesterday the handbells group and Ms. Willa, their teacher, performed in the waiting room at Blake's office and then had a mini-concert at our house for a few friends and neighbors!  They did wonderful and several of the ladies at Blake's clinic have requested them to come back next week!  It was a sweet way to minister and play praises to our King with handbells!

Christmas Fun!

 We have been staying inside and staying warm this week...and enjoying the Christmas season!  The girls wanted to play dress up in some of my clothes and thought they were big stuff!  We also made a nativity out of random, leftover Halloween candy!  They were begging to eat it afterward!
