December 2015

December!  What a full month, but I suppose it is that way every year.  

Evie reading to Olivia EARLY one Saturday morning.  

Evie has done very well with learning to read this year.  We're super proud of her!

Showing off her new boots.

 Olivia officially loves the camera.  Cutie!

 Hanging out in Daddy's office after school, showing off her chocolate pudding face.

 Cheese!

 This is Evie at her school party, asking for MORE Big Red.  I politely told her she would not be having more Big Red.  Look at her face!

 Mike Morrow, I did not hide your hat!

 Starlight Village in Odessa.

Don't drop the baby sister!

Just a little Dance Party before church

Forgot to put this one in November.  

She's just too cute!

Mavery's choir program at school.

She's in there somewhere, with her hat over her eyes.  Silly Girl!

Christmas Eve Service

 Our new cedar entry table that Mike made!

He's so crafty!

 Big sister brushing little sister's hair.

 Yep, she gets whatever she wants...

 Christmas Nights at Crossroads Fellowship.

 Reading the list to Santa.  Olivia was not a fan of Santa this year.

 Bounce House fun!

 Christmas Morning!!!  Santa brought BIKES!

 Off she goes!  That's Mavery!

Evie on her new bike.

Someday we won't have roll-off dumpsters and port-a-potties lining our street.

 

Mommy making sure Evie's bike was "safe".

 Going for a walk in the neighborhood on Christmas morning with the Hurst boys.

 Nothing like a few silly selfies with Daddy to end a great Christmas Day.

November 2015

We had some fun in November.  We also had some illnesses in November.  We'll start with the fun!

Sister Snuggle Time

Daddy Snuggle Time

Enjoying the back yard and the beautiful weather.

Hide Tom the Turkey Project at Evie and Mavery's school.

Thanksgiving lunch at Mavery's school.

We also got to help serve a lunch for the first responders in Andrews, Tx.  After the lunch, they took us on a ride in the fire truck.

Mavery thought the sirens were loud.

Evie "posing" on the ride around town.

Olivia was terrified the entire time!

Evie dressed up as a REAL firefighter!

And now we get to the not-so-fun.  We started off this fall in September with hand-foot-mouth for Olivia and Mavery.  Then we celebrated October with a round of strep throat.

This is Evie playing the Princess Jewel game with me one day she stayed home from school.

November was the month of stomach virus.  It was a bad virus.  In a matter of about 5 weeks, all three girls had the virus, Evie caught it twice and Mommy got it twice.  We also shared the love with Uncle Ron and Grandma Susie.  What a mess!  That's why there are no pictures of Thanksgiving.  Evie and Mommy came down with it while visiting Waco for Thanksgiving.  I may forever refer to Thanksgiving 2015 as "pukesgiving".  

Olivia getting ready for the trip to Waco.

And Evie sleeping away on the ride home from Waco. 

Although it was rough Thanksgiving holiday, we are still very thankful that we got to see and spend time with family.  We are very, very blessed!

Happy October and Halloween

Happy October!
