Thanksgiving Part 2...Aggie Land

Christmas posts are coming!

Have you ever stopped at a Buc-ee's? What a place! Stop if you see one. Fun!
Wes and the Indian. Buc-ee's.
Thanksgiving grocery shopping at HEB. Love this store. We had a good time sampling the goodies.
Gorgeous cake that DaddyBob won at an auction. Yum.
Brazos and Abigail singing and playing. Such talented people! Wow!
Traditional little candy turkeys and the boys and I make at Thanksgiving. So cute.

Traditional cousin pyramid.

Pyramid fail. :)
Short to tall. They are such good sports.
Will loved wrestling and playing with his cousins. What a joy to be together.
My wonderful husband. I do not deserve such a special guy,
but thankful for the blessing of being his.
The crew watching the Aggie/Longhorn game.
Christmas picture taking time. It was FREEZING.
Notice how Ky is so cold that he pulled his arms in his shirt. Funny, funny picture. I love it.

The original Aggies. Sure did miss Mama Jo. It's just not the same without her.
The picture below is the display of Aggie rings.
We have done a back to back picture of these two for years. This is how this year's turned out. They are so cute.
DaddyBob with his two Aggie grand kids. Hopefully in the next few years he will have four in College Station. Whoop!

Sweet girls.
Remember: This time of year it is easy to be stressed. But...we are too blessed to be stressed. Weed out the busy-ness things you can do without or cut out of your schedule
and find time to be still.
Blessings. Amy

Enjoy.  Alaska memories. Love this fat Santa above. Thrilled with how this little wreath turned out. Happy Christmas decorating! Remember: Your family probably does not care if your house looks like something out of Southern Living. They love the traditions and old ornaments and chipped Christmas mugs and plates. Our kids sure do. It is hard when we compare what we have to other people's "things" or decorations. We are all so richly blessed. I say, just don't do it. I am trying to hav

Camp Blue Haven-2012

May His love from above bless Blue Haven forever.  And what a blessing it was this summer to be back up in the cool mountains with so many people that we love.  As I reflected on this special place I thought about how big of an influence it has been on our children and our hearts.  At camp time slows down.

It has also been a glimpse of what I think heaven will be a little like.  It has taught us to stay close to one another, to be accountable to each other and to live an out loud life for Christ. No holding back. Living it. Because of the encouragement and growth that happens here we are bett
