january school and co-op

Little teacher, Garner...

Third borns gotta stick together...so cute :)

Greer loves her crochet lessons with Mrs. Dickson before co-op

First day back for 2nd semester

Airstrike field trip!

She usually starts anything this way...

While the bigs dive right in

But if we ignore the pitifulness, she almost always comes around :))

So much fun, but I have to admit that I was embarrassingly sore for 2 or 3 days after haha

Silly girls dressing alike for school one day...and a photobomber below

And how school days look when the Massey fever hits...she wants to be with us, but can't hang :(

Greer's sweet 2nd grade class at co-op

And I'm only one post away from finishing up another month!  So exciting ;))

one last christmas :)

We celebrated Christmas with our Bourne family a little late in January :).  Missing the Ingram cousins...

Love these...

And so thankful for how sweet these older cousins are to the Gs.  Love time with them and wish it were more often!

chattanooga 2016

Lots of sweetness over MLK weekend as we made the annual trek to Chattanooga.  The kids get older and don't see each other nearly enough but still just love being together :)

All the Gs loved their first 4-wheelin' :)

And then, somehow all the kids ended up climbing in with the dads when they headed to a basketball game...Emily and I cleaned up after everyone and then sat for a coffee visit :))

They look like they did great! ;)

And a really great date night :).  These couples are so special to us.  Thankful for lots of years of friendship and the opportunity to see them all together when we're there.

Third kid :)...we don't seem to balk as much as we used to when someone crawls in to snuggle

And seriously, how great is this family room...beyond comfy and cozy :))

Sweet girl time

And farm beauty.  Love so much

Dinner out with Owens and Carpenters was sweet and silly

And we had a great lunch with the Clantons too on our last day

The time there always flies, but so so thankful for these visits each year.  If only we could get them all to come back home to live close again :))

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 :))
