Where did it go?<\/p>\n

We just finished the first week of December. \u00c2\u00a0Eeek.<\/p>\n

In the interest of just wanting to catch up, below you will find lots of photos.<\/p>\n

We loved our day trip to Boone, where we hiked up Elk Knob in the snow. \u00c2\u00a0Some of us in shoes that had no business trudging through deep snow and slush. \u00c2\u00a0Ahem. \u00c2\u00a0We had a great time, nonetheless.<\/p>\n

There are also pictures of the Testify drama team at our house…with Randy writing and directing the plays, we held two practices for the drama alone, and had a blast doing it.<\/p>\n

Pics of Testify Too (the Jr. age choir that Lainey and Dylan are in) in their first Christmas concert. \u00c2\u00a0Too cute.<\/p>\n

I wasn’t able to get photos of the first Testify concert, but I’ll get some at an upcoming concert for sure. \u00c2\u00a0Stay tuned.<\/p>\n

I’ve also got before and after shots of our house painting project. \u00c2\u00a0I should say our friend Doug’s painting project, since he did all the work! And, did an amazing job, too. \u00c2\u00a0We LOVE it.<\/p>\n

Finally, pictures of our Thanksgiving dinner here (just us this year), and our traditional Thanksgiving afternoon trip to our quaint little downtown for family pics. \u00c2\u00a0It was COLD, but we had to grin and bear it. \u00c2\u00a0Heh.<\/p>\n

Enjoy :)<\/p>\n

The fabulous Testify drama cast, 2014<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

Lainey and Dylan are in Testify Too (1st-6th graders) and they had their first concert. \u00c2\u00a0Lainey plays a townsperson, and Dylan plays King Herod!<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Let’s see what else…oh yeah, our switch from drab beige to gray paint!<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

I know the bottom wall looks kinda blue, but it’s really not. \u00c2\u00a0After sweating choosing the color, I’m THRILLED with how it looks. \u00c2\u00a0The browns in our furniture, etc. really pop against the gray.<\/p>\n

Lastly, we did Thanksgiving this year with just us. \u00c2\u00a0We still got the big turkey, and I cooked all the usual sides that are totally expected. \u00c2\u00a0We ate (too much) and then headed downtown for our picture session. \u00c2\u00a0We started this a couple of years ago, and I just love it. \u00c2\u00a0We have so much fun running around the almost empty streets, finding fun places to take pics. \u00c2\u00a0It was a bummer that we couldn’t get a full family shot (no one else with us, and couldn’t find the tripod!), but we got some good shots, I think.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Now? \u00c2\u00a0On to all the fun and blessings of Christmas…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
