Thankful

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. We started out Wed. night at Cookie and Pops' house. We had a great dinner with them and they were so kind to invite my parents to join us. Mary Claire had a lot of fun putting up Cookie's Christmas tree and playing with the train. We went to Grammy and Craig's house on Thurs. night and they surprised us with movie tickets. We went to see the new movie Bolt. So cute by the way. Mary Clarie loves going to the movies or " Big Show" as she says. I am so very thankful for the love of family and friends. The Lord has us in his hands, and I trust him.

This one is for our Grammy!!!

This picture is for Grammy... we just talked and she was saying how she loves to see pictures of her Mary Claire. She looks like such a big girl in this picture. I am so thankful for my daughter and my husband and for our extended family and friends. We have so very much to be thankful for this year. Looking forward to yummy food and the good times we will share with our family. HAPPY EARLY THANKSGIVING TO EVERYONE!!!!!

Fun Weekend

We had a great weekend. We spent it with my parents in Jonesboro and we went to Blytheville for my mom's parent's 50th wedding anniversary party. Mary Claire had fun playing with her cousin Ella Katherine and helping Granny with their presents. We also visited Uncle Jim and Aunt Sara. Sometimes we really wish we lived closer, this is for sure one of those times. Thanks MoM and Dad for taking such good care of us this weekend. We had a great relaxing weekend.

PS- do you like Mary Claire's outfit? I made it for her- yes I am bragging =) It's okay to do that sometimes right? oh I love that girl!!

The Doctor doesn't want to see me until dec. 3rd so I won't know any real details until then. Please keep our tiny baby in your prayers that everything is good and healthy!!!

Great Weekend

We had a great weekend in Branson this weekend with Paul's family. 16 of us met there and shopped all weekend, went to a show, and enjoyed each other. Paul's family is so great, they are really close and they really love each other. They welcomed me with open arms when I met Paul in 2000 and I feel incredibly blessed to have this huge extended loving family. I wish I had pictures from this weekend to post. =( Mary Claire had so much fun shopping with us. I was so proud of her this weekend, she is really getting to be a very big girl!!!
