O Christmas Tree

Some of my fondest childhood holiday memories are going to pick out our Christmas tree at the Christmas tree farm in Cave City. I love getting a real tree at Christmas. Since we've lived in Cookeville, Matt & I have gone to this same family farm to get our tree. This year, we got to bring Eli for his first tree hunting adventure. And to make it even more special, my parents and Mema were visiting, and it had snowed that morning! You can see in the pictures the tree I picked out (Eli's wearing his little bear suit), my dad & matt carrying it to the truck, and the final product. Enjoy and Merry Christmas!

great grandma visit

My mema (mom's mom) came all the way from Quitaque, TX to see Elijah this past weekend. We had a great time picking out the perfect Christmas tree and listening to matt play his guitar. I'm so glad she got to see him while he's still little.

this is what a 3 month old Eli looks like

It's Thanksgiving in Melber

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving at Matt's parents house. Matt did work at their new house and Elijah ate and slept just like we were at home. The week flew by and we got lots of visiting time with Eli's cousins. And of course no trip to Melber is complete without a trip to Hardee's- Eli's first. We can't wait until Christmas!
