CHRISTMAS COMES EARLY....WHEN IT IS 10 DEGREES OUTSIDE!!

This weekend Russ had to work so Henry, Lucy, and I had lots of quaility time!

It was SO COLD outside that we couldn't do much----it was 10 degrees this morning!

So I decided we might as well open a couple Christmas presents!

On Christmas day some presents get pushed aside so I thought that we might as well open a couple and play with them since we were stuck indoors!

This is a world map puzzle that Russ bought---he left it in the sack in the garage and Henry found it on Friday. So we have done this puzzle over and over.

I have actually brushed up on my geography doing this puzzle!

This morning Henry went to Sunday School with Courtney and Ellie.

I decided it was too cold for Lucy and I!

After he got home I let him open a gift that I had wrapped while he was out!

It was a train cupcake pan and an apron!!

We were going to go get a cake mix this afternoon but he has gotten into his other gift

and doesn't want to leave!

Then I decided to let him open his Thomas the Train game that goes with his

Fisher Price motorcycle. Collin and Becka got him this motorcycle last year for Christmas and he has LOVED it! He has been on the motorcycle all afternoon!

Henry's Christmas Program

Henry had his school Christmas program Thursday night!

He did a great job!

He was supposed to wear a santa hat and sunglasses!

He was one of the few that left his hat and sunglasses on.

He looked like a little Stevie Wonder up there!

Getting ready! Lucy didn't like the sunglasses!!

Russ took my pic as I was recording the program! ha!

Clubhouse Christmas

We decided that Henry's clubhouse needed some holiday decorations.

So we strung some lights and hung a wreth and now the backyard looks very festive!

The finished product---looks much better in person!!!

St Jude's Memphis Half-Marathon

Last weekend we went to Memphis to run the St. Jude's Half-Marathon.

Russ, Mark, Courtney, Leah, and I all ran the race.

It was really cold but lots of fun!!

We did get to get our pic made with Elvis after the race was over!!
