Family Anniversary Day








December 17th is the day Hope came into our family in 2007, so we will celebrate this day every
year with her. Daddy bought her flowers, which she loved, and we went to lunch together. We are so thankful to have Hope.

Monday, December 15, 2008






























We were able to go to Mike's Farm which is a place to eat family style food and go on a hayride. The hayride was through a field that had tons of lights. Hope rode through saying. "wow" and "how pretty". They also had a little store and Hope was facinated with the fudge display. She loves to play with rocks and they had rock fudge. That was her favorite to look at. Bay, Carly and Shelby were along for the fun.

Airlie Gardens






















We went to Enchanted Airlie. It was the first time the girls were able to see the lights there. We had a great time. I think Hope's favorite part were the trains. Unfortunately, the batteries in the cameras we took died. We got a few pictures to share.

Promotion Sunday
















Hope moved to the two year old class for Sunday School this past Sunday. It is hard to believe she is getting bigger. These pictures are getting ready for church, with her one year teachers, Mrs. Gwen and Mrs. Charlotte and also with her new class with Mrs. Robin and Mrs. Kaye. We have also started wearing the Christmas dresses. This season is so much fun. We love celebrating Jesus' birthday!










Hope went to Sophie's birthday party but she REALLY enjoyed the candy from the goody bag. She liked the candy bracelet for an hour! Sophie came over later that day and wanted to help with Hope's bath. She just became a big sister so she was a helper at our house too.

Giddy up Bubba




Corey came for dinner and ended up being the entertainment. After he left Hope walked around the house saying, "Bubba, Bubba".
