Christmas Tree "Shopping"

Molly & I went with her Grandmom to Varner's Farm to help Grandmom pick out her pick out her Christmas tree.  We took a horse-drawn wagon out into the fields, but sadly we did not find the perfect tree out there.  But with the help of Molly's Uncle Ty and Uncle Andrew, we were able to find the perfect tree - and Molly picked it out!  Molly was very excited to visit her Daddy at his weekend job on the farm and ran right up to him!  He showed her around the farm so she could see the goats and sit on a REALLY big tractor.  It was a fun day for everyone!

Happy Girls!

Kisses from Grandmom!

Molly LOVED the horses!  

Molly's Daddy is so strong, he carried both Molly and the tree out to the car!

Seriously...ALL the way to the car!

Uncle Gus's 100th Birthday!!!

We traveled down to Miami Florida to celebrate Uncle Gus's 100th Birthday!!!  Blas & Kellee graciously opened their house for the event, and many of Gus's friends & family were able to come into town for the event.  He was VERY happy, and touched by all that were there, and all those that sent cards & well wishes that could not attend in person.  He gave a beautiful speech after his gift opening and again after he blew out his candle on the cake.  Molly & I stayed for a few days after the party so we could celebrate his actual birthday on December 9th - we took him to the Cheesecake Factory for Quesadillas & Mudslides - his favorites!

The November Adventures of Lexie & Molly!

A few days before Thanksgiving, Molly & I got to fly out to Pittsburgh to spend a few days with Russ, Meghan, Lexie AND Mike, Debbie, Marissa & Spencer AND Mitch & Lisa AND my mom and grandmom.  It is so rare that we all can get together, and I was grateful for every minute we were there.  It was a very exciting 3 days, and Molly & Lexie had a TON of fun together!!!  Thanks Russ & Meg for having us - we can't wait to visit again soon!

"Grandmom" had her hands full with all her grandkids (Marissa, Spencer, Molly & Lexie)   under one roof!
