Christmas Eve

We had a perfect Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.  I was so excited for this Christmas...It was so much fun sharing the magic of Christmas with our two sweet girls.  Briley is at such a fun age and really gets it.  I love the holidays!!
We started Christmas Eve off with our Children's program at church.   Here is our little ham singing during the preschool choir part.  

I love working for our church and I had a blast putting this program together...but I was glad for Candlelight service to start because it meant the children's program was over ;)  It was a great program!!  All the kids did so good even after missing a rehearsal because of the ice.

This was the best picture I got of the 3 of us girls.  Briley was over pictures if you can't tell!!

Our church's candlelight service was packed and absolutely beautiful this year!!

After church we headed to my Grandaddy and Granny Nell's.  My Mom had a BIG surprise coming her way at their house!!

A sweet baby pug named Lucy!!  She has been wanting one for a LONG time and my Dad finally made it happen.  Lucy and Briley are already best friends!!

Love this picture of my Mom and her girls!!
After Grandaddy and Granny Nell's we came home, put on our Christmas PJ's, and set out cookies and milk for Santa.

And he did NOT disappoint!

Stay tuned for our Christmas Day post!!
Love, Melissa

Delaney is here!!

I think this might have been my longest blog break ever!!  I am sad that I let blogging slip away these past few months.  I am going to set a goal to 2x a week and hopefully I will blog more as time goes by.   Well since my last blog update I had a baby!!  ;)  She is here, she is perfect, she is beautiful, and truly is a gift from God.

Delaney Hope was born on July 15th at 8:59 a.m. weighing 8 pounds 1 ounce and measuring 20.5 inches long.  She looks just like her big sister did when she was born and also favors her Daddy SO much!!

(Briley on top Delaney on the bottom)   We are overjoyed with the hope and healing she has brought to our family.    GOD IS SO GOOD!   I will update with  more pictures from the past few weeks next but until then enjoy these pictures we had taken in the hospital on her birthday :)

  Love, Melissa

Picture Post

  Apparently I can't find the time to blog lately :(  But I want to make sure and at least get some pictures up!!     Life is wonderful, busy, and blessed...   Thanking God everyday for this pregnancy and how much He is covering me with His love.

19 weeks  

Meet Delaney Hope :)   Delaney is after Hadley and Tammie's middle name, D'Layne and Hope is because she is the hope and healing God is giving our family this year!! We celebrated my sweet Hadley's 2nd birthday.  I will have another post on that soon but here are a few of my favorite pics from her balloon release.

The day before Hadley's birthday we took Briley to Great Wolf Lodge to have some family time...she had a BLAST!!!

  Briley got to see the musical from her favorite book...PINKALICIOUS!!!

  We celebrated my amazing husband's 30th birthday with family and friends

This week we started our Easter festivities with an Egg Hunt at Briley's preschool...

This weekend we have an Easter Family Day on Saturday at church and then of course church on Sunday and visiting with family to celebrate that HE LIVES!!

 

I will be 24 weeks on Saturday which is considered "viability".  God's timing with this pregnancy is beautiful and perfect...so thankful for new beginnings this Easter season.

Love,

Melissa
