ringing in 2016!

Lyle set up quite the screen for NYE football watching in their garage...Gehr was glued :)

Such sweet friends :)

And our first (and probably last!) experience with the game Bean Boozled.  It was good for lots and lots of laughs, though :))

Love these ladies

Moved inside with a festive accessory ;)

Almost time for the ball to drop!

And these 3, oh my word.  So big and growny all of a sudden...and still the cutest friends :)

Girls' room :)

And our favorite part...lazy pj day visiting on New Year's Day.  While the adults were inside, the kiddos had quite the movie marathon with the screen projector in the garage.

Always such great memories there.  So grateful for their years and years of friendship.  Can't think of a better way to start each new year :))

december...last one of 2015!

Our cute cousin buddy, Joshua

And a sweet Hosanna Sprouse visit.  So love our babies :)

Christmas card pic fun in the backyard

{the Greer pose}

And the normal one :))

So much fun to have a sweet older brother

And a sweet Daddy :))

Flag football for Gehr

And a night out to celebrate Mandy's 30th birthday

Student disciple-making...love SO much

One of Greer's daily drawings ;)

And Gehrig's diagramming assignment of a verse...so neat to see how all the overheard discipling talk has sunk in without us even realizing it

Last day of art class and Gentry playdate after a lot of years...so thankful for that time

And these cuties and a beautiful sunset at one of our fave spots

Birthday gift from my sweet bud...a babysitter and day out together.  Love love love

Some of our sweet life group at the church-wide Christmas party

And my favorite views always

B looking all young and spry at the student-faculty basketball game!

And this cutie all bundled up

Sweet Annalise as Annie in her school play...she did awesome!

And a beautiful sky to lift my Christmas shopping spirits...it is not my favorite activity :(

Girl time to go see Maggie in "Little Women"...she was awesome and we had a great time together!

Our cousin, Ryan, played in the area all-star game.  So proud of him!

And just one of those Sundays that I couldn't help but stop in my tracks at the sight of how big they're getting...

December family visit with the Millers!

And poor Joshua is oh SO loved ;))

They all ask B to carry them to bed after we read each night...this time, he got them all on the first trip :))

Greer made Libba a crocheted choker

And the MasseyLink girls enjoyed a movie night

What a sweet December with friends and family and meaningful celebrating and quality time.  So so very thankful and looking forward to catching up now with the first few months of 2016!
