holiday crafting

short, but so sweet

we drove to st. louis for Thanksgiving... it was a short, but very sweet time with family. we are so blessed! so much to be thankful for this year!

she makes great pies... just like a picture :)

all the waeckerles

all the hunters

matt has been in the habit of holding babies these days ... that's exciting to me ;)

back in black... and gold

matt and i headed to AggieLand this past month to see the MU Tigers take on the Aggies... for those of you who haven't lived in texas, football is a HUGE deal here. Generations of families go to the same schools and have more school pride than i can even imagine having! Seriously, in church last week our pastor mentioned the Aggie win and a loud "whoop" echoed through the sanctuary! in church y'all!! they are die-hard fans ... Anyways, MU BEAT the Aggies (I'll give my own little "whoop, whoop!!" for that) and it was a great game, fun time with Matt and a great excuse to put back on our black and gold.

grandpa also visited... so good to see him :)
