You might be a redneck...

We had lots of activities to get us in the Christmas spirit. A few weeks ago, we went to Christmas in the Highlands. This same weekend Kyle had been out of town for 4 days that week helping his dad with a project. My hat is off to single moms. Yes, indeed. This same night, we spent the night with Lolly and Poppy. Ty was sick and slept a grand total of 10 minutes that night. Bless.

 That next day we bundled up in the frigid temperatures to watch the Christmas Parade. Ty didn't make either of these events.

The next weekend, we celebrated a Birthday for Jesus at church with our preschoolers with crafts, games, and cake. It was fun and I think the adults enjoyed it just as much. This same weekend we also had our adult Sunday School party.

 This past week was class party week for both big kids. Fun week! And a big week too. Collin got student of the month, had Polar Express (PJ) Day, and had his class party. B had a short week and got out of school on Wednesday. I can't believe one semester of the school year is over!

Thursday night we loaded up with the Reids and walked through the lights at Mason Park. Dairy Queen may never be the same but we had a fun time!

The next day we picked up Collin from school and headed north to Poppa's hunting camp. The kids LOVED it! Now... Sister loves all things pink and sparkly BUT deep down, she's a country girl. She even hunted with Kyle some. Kyle's exact words were "if the deer are deaf and blind, we might be okay"... Ha! And she had to climb the tree stand too for fun.

Kyle and I didn't get a deer that afternoon, but early Saturday morning we got the call from Kyle.  Everyone in the house piled on the ranger in pajamas and and headed out to see what he got.

 Again, you really might be a redneck...

It was a very fun weekend out in the middle of nowhere. So quiet and peaceful. It was nice just before all the Christmas festivities began.
