The Christmas Pickle Hunt

Every Christmas morning a small pickle ornament is hidden in the tree. The first one to find it gets a prize!!! This is so much fun, especially since we are all pickle loving people!!!

Kayla was the winner this year!!!

Happy Halloween

We had a great night, we went to the store 1 hour prior to going out and got our costumes for 1/2 off. Yeah!! We were also excited Miss Annie and Little Jack Connor came for the evening of fun. We spent the night at Trunk or Treat at our church.


Nate, Kayla, Jack, and Courtney

Roy, my computer nerd and Miss Annie!
