End of Year Leftover Pictures

I'm going through all of my pictures and found some that never made it around to a blog post.  So here are my random leftovers from 2015.

A year ago, we went to the Fort Worth Rodeo for Ben's 4th Birthday.  We have since been back, but here are some pics from our first visit.




Luke's TK class had a field trip to the food pantry 1 year ago!  Haha!




Some mother's day pictures at Nonnie and Grandpa's house.




Random home shots.






Brian sold his car after 10 years of driving it!


And to end off 2015, I'll leave you with these crazy selfies I found on my phone of this silly guy!

Fall Soccer


Luke had a great soccer season.  His team may have not won any games, but the kids had fun, and that is all that matters.  A little tough to watch for this competitive mama, but Luke didn't seem to care! =)  Brian was the assistant coach this year, and Luke got to make some new friends.  Pictures below are from his last game, when he finally scored a goal!  He was so excited!  The game was pretty chilly, but that didn't stop these kids.

Christmas


We had a wonderful Christmas celebrating with lots of family.  We started off on Christmas Eve going to our church's children's service.  It is such a neat experience, and very geared towards the kids.  There are kids everywhere during the service, and no one cared when Savannah escaped and went sprinting down the aisle!  I wasn't to happy about having to chase after her in my dress, but at least people got a laugh out of it. 



After church, we headed home for dinner with just the 5 of us, a Christmas movie, and readings of The Night Before Christmas and The Christmas Story.  Savannah refused to wear her Christmas PJs, and I just pick my battles with that one.



Christmas morning they woke up super excited.  Luke woke up multiple times throughout the night unable to sleep.  The big gifts this year, were a dollhouse for the girls, and a camera for Luke.





After presents, we enjoyed a birthday breakfast for Jesus, and then we headed over to Nonnie and Grandpa's house.  Aunt Tracy was out of town, but we enjoyed time with Uncle Jeff and Aunt Olaya.


Luke recieved a picture of himself with Darth Vader and the Storm Troppers.  It was finially revealed to him that his Grandpa was that Storm Tropper, and his mind was blown!


The weather was so nice that we enjoyed time outside by the fire.  Audrey and Savannah also got cameras from Nonnie and Grandpa, so there were many pictures being taken.







On the 26th, we headed to Tula and Pop's.  Again, we enjoyed the beautiful weather!






We had a delicious feast, thanks to Tula.






Then relaxed, played games, took naps, and some people got back rubs from Pop. (See picture below) The kids also prepared a wonderful play about a Christmas fairy.  It was too cute!






We opened presents... Audrey and I loved our fur vests.


Audrey also received this precious shirt from the Schmids.


And Savannah was living it up!


On the 27th, we headed back to my parents house for the Neptune family Christmas.  We loved seeing the Dodges, and getting to hug on baby Tate.





Memaw got my mom some PJ pants, that were obviously too big!!!  It was hilarious!



It's all fun and games until someone pinches your booty.  Our best family Christmas shot. =)


We feel overwhelmed with blessings this year, and praise the one from whom all blessings flow!  We are grateful to be able to celebrate the birth of our Savior with all our favorite people, and to be be chosen by HIM!  Merry Christmas!
