Mullinnix Tree Hunt

For the past three year we have take Eli to The Old Time Christmas Tree Farm to hunt for our tree.  We love this family tradition and look forward to next year when Hannah Joy can get in on the fun.

And of course you have to get your picture with Santa Claus before you leave.  Hannah Joy and i went to the car so she could have some lunch so she didn’t get to see Santa, maybe next year!

Popcorn, Hot Cocoa, and Santa

Tonight the movie Santa Claus is Coming to Town came on. So I thought it would be a fun treat for Eli to watch. So I made Hot Chocolate and popcorn for my guys and they settled in for the movie. I think it was a big hit.






Hannah Joy was there too but she was eating instead of enjoying the movie...

Thanksgiving

For Hannah Joy’s 1st Thanksgiving we spent it with my parents.  My granny, Uncle Gorge and Aunt Leona joined us too.  We had a wonderful time together and it was very low key and relaxing!
