Christmas Tree Challenge!

 You would think that you could get an awesome Christmas card pictures when you take over 500 pictures at a Christmas Tree farm!  As you will see - we got awesome real life pictures rather than perfectly posed pictures this year!  The kids love going to the Christmas Tree farm each and every year - however they drink so much hot chocolate and eat so many cookies while we are hunting our tree - that they are often on a sugar high by the time we are ready to go!  The tree we found was perfect!  The weather was perfect!  The pictures show a perfect day at this stage in our lives.  I love this time of year!

Grateful & Thankful

Thanksgiving is always my favorite time of year.  I love having so much time together as a family, decorating for Christmas and this year....going hunting together!  As you can imagine - we didn't see any deer - but we had so much fun!

Drew's First All School Mass

Drew and his class led mass for the first time a few weeks ago.  They did an AMAZING job!  I always love watching the first time a first grade class is in charge of mass.  It is amazing to see how much the grow.  Drew's reading went very well! We are so very proud of him!

Fall Water FAVORITES!

All three of the McClellan boys improved so much this summer.  I LOVE watching them ski and wakeboard.  I can only imagine what next year will bring.  Here are a few of my fall favorites - I still can't believe they get in that water!!!  Too cold for me and Brenna!

Our Harvest!

I had to bribe Brenna with a snack in order for her to take a picture...she is getting awfully sassy these days!!!
