Longview Weekend

It has been a veryyy long time since we had a weekend in Longview with The Heflin's. We decided this time to explore Tyler. We had a fun day seeing the rose garden, eating lunch and doing a home tour. Our time together is never long enough, but we are thankful it is just a 2.5 hour drive away!

Thankful for weekends with family,

MJ

Christmas 2015

We are very fortunate that we get to see both of our families every year for Christmas. This year was no exception we spent Christmas Eve and Christmas day with my family and then headed to Lubbock for Christmas with the Joneses. Christmas with my family was so fun because it was Ruthie's first Christmas. We baked, hung out and just enjoyed spending time together. Christmas with the Joneses was unexpected, but amazing. We always have fun when we are together even when a blizzard comes through Lubbock and ruins our plans of going to Santa fe. We played games, ate lots of food, relaxed, laughed a lot and made sweet memories. Christmas 2015 was amazing and I am so thankful for the family we have been given to celebrate with.

Thankful for Christmas,

Thanksgiving Break 2015

This Thanksgiving break we were home the whole time which was such a nice treat and we got to spend some great time with family, friends and each other.  I will let the pictures do the rest of the talking!

We started the week off with the Main St. Grapevine Tree Lighting 

Annie and Ruthie came in town early and we shopped, saw Santa, did crafts and got lots of quality time together! 

We spent the actual day at my Moms and Jeffrey's fried turkey was a hit! 

We unexpectedly got to surprise the Joneses at Love field during their layover 

We took a trip to the Gaylord with our besties to watch the BU/TCU game..it did not end quite how we wanted, but we always love our BEARS and had a great time! 

We ended the weekend with a trip to Sundance square with our friends/neighbors to eat Mexican food and look at their gorgeous tree! 

Thankful for THANKSGIVING break,

I love my Ruthie Girl

Today sweet Ruthie is 1 month old! I cannot believe it! I have not seen her for two weeks and I know she has changed so much! Looking forward to the middle of October! In the meantime here are some of my daily Ruthiegrams that Annie provides me with :) Annie is rocking it as a mom!

Thankful to be an AUNT,

MJ

ANNIE IS HAVING A BABY GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!

Yall to say I am excited is an understatement! I cannot wait to meet Baby girl H and spoil her rotten. I pray that Annie & Nathan get to soak up every minute of this pregnancy, I pray for a healthy baby girl and I pray that she would grow up to know Jesus and point others toward him with her life.

So lets just recap something.. I have known this news since... February 14 and it is now April! I have been dying to share this with everyone I know!

Uncle Jeffrey & I were so excited!!!! 

Last weekend we went to Longview to celebrate them telling everyone it was a girl and to celebrate their sweet growing family! It was such a special day! 

Thankful for little girls, 

MJ
