Prayers for friends
Tomorrow (the 12th) my friend Robyn will be having her baby boy Jackson and my friend Allison will be saying goodbye to her hubby while he is deployed. If you get a chance...say a little prayer for them.
The most wonderful time of the year...
Christmas is definitely a wonderful time of year around our house. I married Mr. Christmas! Adam is all about Christmas. I am too but he really is. He starts the music in November and always wants new traditions every year. So it is extra fun around our house. Some of the highlights of our holiday season (pics to come when I finally get them uploaded)...
...Santa brought Carter a blue fish that he caught at the North Pole and named after his favorite reindeer Prancer.
...After surprisingly making it through the first night at our house, Prancer traveled for a week in a small tupperware container, got sloshed all around, and is safely back in his home. Santa caught a tough fish.
...Averi is now called the octomom because of all the babies she got for Christmas that she tries to carry around at the same time.
...We played more gin tournaments this year than ever before.
...We were blessed with a Suburban full of gifts (2 huge bean bags yeah!!) and bellies full of yummy food (got to try the Knotty Turtles (below)).
...Adam did NOT wreck my dad's new scooter this year...first time ever.
...Lots of cousins to play with...finally a cousin on my side to play with :)
...AND the biggest highlight of our vacation, my brother, Allen and Carrie got engaged!!! Yippee!!!
Knotty Turtles
mini knotted pretzels
Rolos
pecan halves
Put one Rolo on each pretzel and place on parchment paper. Bake at 200 for 4 min. Press a pecan half on each Rolo. Yum! I ate a record amount of these over the holidays.

Polar Express
We went to the North Pole last week via the Polar Express. We watched the train pull up…All aboard!!
We were welcomed on board by the conductor….
We had hot chocolate and sugar cookies…
We got our tickets punched…
We got to see the North Pole and Santa & the elves joined us on the train…
Carter told him he wanted a fish for Christmas. :) And Santa asked him if he wanted a BIG fish or a little fish...thanks Santa! He gave each child a bell and signed our Polar Express book. Fun times!

Go Lions
Carter has finally started his first long-awaited team sport...I have never seen a kid so excited about something! With his birthday being late July, he has waited very patiently. We are happy to announce his basketball practice debut.
All in a days work...
Averi is by far our mischievous child...she never stops looking for something to get into! She had one day this week that topped the cake. First she and Carter were playing on the bed, she fell off and bit a hole all the way through her bottom lip. Poor baby, it looked so painful! After Dr. Rob glued it back together we went to get Carter from Davis's house. I ran in to get him and came back to the hands covered in ink. We got home and she discovered the train with the candy in it...she emptied the candy and you can see in the last picture what I have found all around the house ...one of them tucked away in her diaper, each piece with one bite taken paper and all! It sounds like we never watch her, I promise we do!!
