Christmas Tree Farm Pic 2008

We love this tradition! Driving all the way out to Murfreesboro while listening to Christmas music, of course, to a place where you can cut your own tree, which we don't - we buy the pre-cut (go figure?), and sipping free hot chocolate and apple cider and buying a few ornaments and taking a hayride. Sooooo fun. And now, one of my favorite things is the Christmas Tree Farm pic. My mother in-law got me started on this. It's so fun to see how the family changes each year! Every other year so far, my in-laws have been here, so the picture is taken during the daytime, as it should be. This year, they weren't able to be here, so we barely got there before they closed. When I look at this pic next to the other four from previous years, the black sky really jumps out. Strikes me as very funny. Leave it to me and Johnny and you can be sure we will have fun, but it will be at the very last minute every time.

Christmas 2008

Here's our Christmas pic. Sadie is in the I-will-not-smile phase, but everyone else was very cooperative. Oh! God is so kind and generous!!!

Here we are at the fall festival at church in October. We always have so much fun!

Here's the whole Peacock crew back in October at Garner Advent Christian Church. It's so fun to have a pic of everyone! Mama is beaming! My family is on the left (me holding Sadie, Johnny holding Jesse, Dixie, and Johnny Mac). My sister Angie's family is behind us (Alex, Jimmy, Angie, and Justin). Then Daddy and Mama in the middle of it all and on the other side of them, my brother Jason's family (Jason, Cassie, McKenzie, and Tyler). Sixteen in all!

Sadie's dirty, beautiful face

Sadie had a runny nose, so when we went outside and she started playing in the dirt... you can see the result :-)

Halloween pics!

This is the only pic of Dixie. She was Princess Lea. That's our neighbor Suzanne walking near her. (I don't know who the other people are).

Sadie the lady bug and Jesse Bruce bear! Adorable!!!

Johnny Mac as a white ninja! His moves were awesome!
