Thanksgiving Week

These are a few of Ivy posing the morning of Thanksgiving. We got up early so I could prepare what I was bringing and then off to Nana's. Later, we visited and ate again with Scott's Grandma Rogers' and her sister's families.

Here's Ivy and one of her favorite foods, turnips.  This child LOVES them. 

What Scott does best after eating.

The one pic of Ivy and myself that was caught through the day.

Friday, we picked up our Christmas tree and began decorating.  This is Ivy's idea of helping.

Alabama/Auburn game at Jennifer and Phillip's.  Hope to have more pics later.

Ivy dressed as an Angel at FBC Greening the Sanctuary Performance. 

During the prayer of the service the one thing I asked God was for him to give me strength to be a better parent on informing my child about him...............Later that night when Ivy was supposed to be sleeping I hear her crying in her bedroom.  I go to check on her.  She tells me how she doesn't want to die.  First, she tells me about how she doesn't want to be old cause her hair will grow shorter and turn grey and her teeth would be yellow.  She said she would miss her toys and her friends.  This was a little funny. Then she began talking about going to heaven and she wanted to be there with all her friends and how she wanted me and her daddy to be there with her.  I found this as the key moment where God was doing his work.  This was an excellent opportunity for me to share with Ivy about God.  We talked about following a Christian path and doing the right things.  I definitely feel this was a prayer answered.  I enjoying sharing with Ivy what was instilled to me as a young girl.  She and I cried together.  What a blessing Ivy is to me.
