Preparing for the Season

The holiday season is always hectic but I adore each day of preparation and anticipation leading up to Christmas Day.

Mason helping the Chamber set out the holiday characters.

David's escapades have gotten a bit more interesting now that Sissy is helping him. I am sad that Jentry has outgrown the magic this year but stoked that David has a new assistant.

 

Some suggest I go a bit overboard with my decorating, gift buying, cooking making, card sending, etc. but compared to God's preparation for the very first Christmas my efforts will never be the equal. His perfect plan is an unmatched masterpiece.

Parade of Lights 2018

Baby it was cold and snowy outside but Sutton's Parade of Lights always fills my holiday bucket.

Mason and his pal, Bodhi

Jentry and her Elf pal, Kyla

This year Jentry assisted Mr. and Mrs. Claus, Mason asked for a flatbed trailer and Tucker was on the outside of mom's tummy!

November moments I do not want to forget:

 

 

 

Halloween '18

Last Halloween Mason was sick and this year poor Tucker was running a fever. On the bright side, I got to snuggle him all day. Little guy has all four top front teeth coming in at once.

After a couple good naps he was feeling better and back to getting into mischief.

After school we headed out to the farm for a little trick or treating at Papa and Onnie's.

Then we came back to town, dropped Jentry off with her friends who are apparently much cooler than her family, and treated around our neighborhood. It was a beautiful night!
