Flynt Christmas 2012...

Flynt Family Christmas...

On December 24 we gathered with my side of the family for Christmas together. We started the day with an awesome Christmas breakfast...then had present time. We later had lunch (ham and such), played games, laughed and watched the kids all enjoy their new presents. It was another great day filled with family, good food and fond memories were made.

Sadie and Maggie, awaiting their turn. We open gifts in order from oldest to youngest.

Best "present" moment! Joshua got his first BB gun. Big times in the life of an almost 8 year old!

Jerod wanted and got a real Army man helmet.

Mags got lots of goodies...including clothes, sidewalk chalk, Barbies, candy and a robe.

Sadie got loads of presents too...including a new chair, jewelry, a Barbie, clothes, sidewalk chalk and....

Her first slinky! FUN!

I am so thankful for the blessing of having a firm foundation called FAMILY! I know it is a rarity to know, love, like and see your family often, these days. They are all some of my most prized worldy treasures.

We gathered with Todd's side of the family for a fun evening on December 22. We had a yummy meal (fajitas), took family pics (my fave), watched all the little ones open gifts, and did an adult dirty Santa exchange. It was a great time! I am so thankful for the wonderful family I married into.

Happy Thanksgiving...2012

It was a happy Thanksgiving for our family. We got to spend time with both sides of our families, and I didn't have to work. Win, win...in our book.

We did our annual Flynt fish fry with my side of the family, and we spent a few days together with the Hunt side out at Todd's parents place. It was a great time and the girls really enjoyed being with all of their cousins...they a total of 10 between  both sides!

I forgot my camera (eeek) when we traveled to see the Hunt side, so the only pics I have are from our time with the Flynt's.  

Hope you all were able to enjoy time with those that you love the most. And remembered to thank the Lord for all of the things he provides for us.

Maggie made this darling little Indian outfit at school! Love it, I remember making the same. Such a good ole' classic, the brown paper bag vest and head dress. 

Family picture time...

Gigi and Papa with all 7 grand kids...

All 15 of us...that started as an original 5. So blessed!!!

My Mom and Dad, love them SO!!!

4 Generations...so thankful for the Godly women in my life.

The big girls...Maggie, Morgan and Macy.

The boys...Jackson, Joshua and Jerod.

The cooking crew...such a yummy meal! Fried fish, friend shrimp, hush puppies, friend jalapenos, salad, beans...yum!!!

Playing in the fall leaves...

When you are the youngest...you get to be the one to get buried! Sweet Sadie loved it!

Love this holiday season...and we are counting down the days until Christmas. Yay!

Love to all,

Guess who got glasses?

A few weeks ago while at the pediatrician (Mags had strep throat) we had the doctor do a quick eye exam. Maggie's kinder teacher had relayed to us, that she thought Mags was having trouble seeing. We are so thankful for her watchful eye, as we had not noticed it at home.She ended up testing 20/50 in both eyes at the pediatrician, so we scheduled an appt for a pedi-opthamalogist. She saw a wonderful doctor, and we had a great experience in his office. She has astigmatisms in both eyes. Good ole' genetics as both Todd and I have astigmatisms too. 

We ended up picking out glasses from our local Visionworks to save a little $$$. She picked out two pair with a little help from Todd and I. So far she has adjusted to them beautifully. No complaints when wearing them. She has been doing a really great job keeping up with them and handling them gently, too. 

We think she is the cutest little thing in glasses! What a doll she is to us.

Such a big girl!!!

This was posted in our eye doctors exam room. How wonderful and refreshing to see!

Sweet girl in her pink and red glasses! I like the above hot pink ones best, and Todd loves the red ones. And Maggie loves them both!!!!

Trick or Treat...2012!

We had a cowgirl and a Piggy this year to go trick or treating. I thought they were pretty darn cute! Maggie is super into horses and pony's...and Sadie loves all animals. Their costumes were so fitting to each of their little likes these days.

We met up with a few other Hunt's (Todd's brother Clay, his wife Jenny and their 3 kids) for the evening.  It was super fun to be with family on that night.

Maggie the cowgirl...and Sadie the pink Piggy.
