Last week, we rode the Christmas Train with Santa! We wore our Christmas pajamas, sang Christmas carols, drank hot chocolate, ate cookies, and hung out with Santa! It was lots of fun!!

St.Jude's Half-Marathon 2009

Courtney, Leah, and I ran the St.Jude's half-marathon for the 2nd year.

It was lots of fun! We were so excited to see the FINISH LINE!

We also got our picture made with Elvis---but it was by a race photographer so I don't have a copy. There were several Elvis's running the race!

Margo met us in Memphis and she ran the 5K

It was fun getting to see her!

Thanksgiving

I almost forgot to put Thanksgiving pics on here. I didn't do very good taking pictures over Thanksgiving. First we went to Camden---everyone was there....Cindy, Jason, Allison, and Braden and Brian and Valli. The kids had a great time playing in the leaves and picking up hundreds of accorns.

Then we had Thanksgiving in Hope on Thursday.

Jim carving the Turkey!

Lucy enjoying her feast!

I attempted to get a good pic w/Nene but we couldn't get everyone to cooperate!Friday night we went out to the McKamie's house. They were in Hope for Thanksgiving.

It was fun to see lots of Hope friends out there.

Brian and Jessica's cute Baby Hudson!

Chicago----Oprah and Ellen

Erin and I went to Chicago a few weekends ago for a girls shopping weekend.

We headed out on Michigan Ave on Saturday morning and ran into THIS!

The Oprah Show had set up a tent and Oprah and Ellen were going to be there any minute!

They are on the cover of O Magazine this month and Ellen was going to be on Oprah that day.

We immediately got a wrist band and we were on the 2nd row.

It was so fun! We were so close to them and then they signed a magazine for everyone!!

Saturday night we got to go out with Amberlyn and Nick!

They live in an apartment right in the middle of the city! It was so much fun getting to see them! I LOVED Chicago and can't wait to go back!
