Cookie Party with a TWIST

In December we held our annual cookie decorating party..... this year we added a TWIST which was so much FUN~ Gingerbread houses

The kids enjoyed every moment. Of course living in Texas you never know what the weather will hold. This year it was HOT and muggy making it hard to keep gingerbread houses in place...most ended in a landslide but it was sure fun to watch them come together.

I think Pappy enjoyed it just as much as the kids ;)

Sweet Saylor had the tallest of the gingerbread houses

Little Miss Addie loved eating just the icing

Peytons gingerbread house had an added garage

Reagan was super excited hers didnt MELT!!

Kayleigh enjoyed picking out just the right candy

Braxton preffered the car and taking charge

Pappy's finished creation

Love the candy cane light pole

This is what they looked like before we ever started

It was a mess of candy and kids-- I hope this tradition never end even if they are 16 and come to eat and leave

Ahhh Kooper he made a pump house for the farm

Remington he preferred to eat the candy.. a boy on the GO

Thank you to all who came and made the party a wonderful time... I hope we can look back over the years and watch all these sweet babies grow together. I LOVE living in a small community 

God really does make a FARMER

It's funny---- this morning I awoke to a dear sweet friends text saying "GOD MADE A FARMER! Dodge commercial my favorite. Reminded me of you guys!" That is when I knew I had to see it pretty sure if it touched her it would touch me. And my did it. I will be the first to admit this time of year is hard it is go go go on top of everyday life. That was just the reminder I needed because God truely did make a farmer! We are blessed that our sweet family of 4 can call ourselves a farming family. And blessed we have a daddy that supports us the way he does. From rides on the tractor, to writing our names on cotton modules, to countless dinner eaten in the middle of a field....at the end of the day it is a LOVE and a PASSION you cannot understand unless you have it running in your veins. Thank you GOD for blessing me with a  FARMER!
