We had a wonderfully busy weekend! It started on Friday night when we spent our family night doing our Haiti Christmas boxes. Since our church has 4 church plants that they support, we did shoe boxes for the children in Haiti where we have our "Church on the Street."
Anli had a little boy and Virginia has a girl around her age. They both enjoyed shopping!
We went home and put on some Christmas music and made hot chocolate. We had bought some fun wrapping paper for the girls to wrap all their presents inside the boxes. Then, they worked on handmade cards for each child. Pacey, well he's just a camera hog.
They were both so excited about giving to other children who don't have anything at all. Virginia also said that they would love this...you're right!
On Saturday morning we set out early for Auburn's Homecoming! We have taken the girls to Auburn every homecoming game since Virginia was born...they have literally grown up going to games! We met several of our college buddies there to tailgate. Most of them weren't going to the game, but came by to enjoy some fellowship and lots of laughs!
It's so wonderful to have awesome godly friends from college to get our kids together with each year. Most of us are in ministry in some way and love that our kids can enjoy each other!
The kids had a great time playing together from biggest to smallest. Kristen (in the middle back) had to stand right behind Sarah Frances because this is a BIG drop off! Aren't they all the cutest Auburn fans you have every seen?
OK, this is Sarah Frances...my best friend in the world (Kristen) little girl! She is the CUTEST thing and has gorgeous eyes. She is so precious and I got to spend lots of time holding and hugging on her. But, a few times she ditched me for Jay...what's up with that girlfriend?
Jay, Shane, and Kenny are best friends and have been ever since college days. They were even roommates for a while! It's great to have those friends that last a lifetime!
After a few hours of food, fun, and fellowship, we were off to the game! It was a gorgeous day filled with lots of sunshine and cool breezes. Perfect football weather! Jay's parents get season tickets...well, every year I have been married to him! We always get to go to homecoming and take the girls with us. It's a great time and we leave whenever the girls want to!
It's great to be an Auburn Tiger!
The girls loved the game and all the fun of half-time activities! I think orange and blue hair suits them just fine.
We put on face tattoos at home...yet they didn't come off that night very well. Virginia still has sticky stuff on her face after a wash of rubbing alcohol, makeup remover, soap, water, plastic (yes, they said to rub plastic on it), and a repeat or two of all those again!

We went shopping at the Dollar Tree and found some great gifts for our children's boxes. Each girl donated some money from their allowance and so did Mom and Dad.
