Back up...Turkey Trot Pics of Walter!

I was just remind, as I posted snow pictures, that I never posted the pictures from Walter, yes Walter, running the Turkey Trot 8K in Charlotte on Thanksgiving. He did sooo good. We ran with our friends Chris & Tiffany Davis, our new "running buddies". I am very proud of my hubby, even though he says he has "no desire to do it ever again", and No he "never got the "runner high". I love that Man!!!

Snow in TN!

What a beautiful sight we had tonight here in TN. We were blessed with one last snow before we go! Timing couldn't have been more perfect, the kids loved it!. Here are some pics of the kids enjoying the snow!

Our visit to see Santa!

This year the kids are really into Christmas. We talk about the real meaning of Christmas, and Jesus birthday and baby Jesus in the manger. I think that they really get it this year. They also get Santa and the presents. We have the "Elf on the Shelf" so it is my bribery for them to be good. We did a craft where they can count down everyday until Christmas on the decorated yard stick....and they both made a list for Santa.

We went to the mall here and they both took there list to Santa and told him exactly what was on it. I wish that I had a video b/c it was priceless. Walter was very into Santa and fully checked him out from head to toe to make sure he was real......until big sister let on that he wasn't the real one, he was just a man dressed up in a red suit! Oh my! She is way to smart. Here are pics of them with the list and then with the reindeer antlers they got after the Santa visit.

Thanksgiving and Ann Elizabeth turns 5!

I have wanted to post before now, but just haven't had the time. Life in our house has been super crazy. We went to Charlotte for 10 days over Thanksgiving to look for schools and a house, have Thanksgiving with my parents and celebrate AE 5th birthday! WOW! What a trip. We had a great time, it was just CRAZY!! But, I don't think that I could function in anything but craziness. Here are some pics from Thanksgiving and AE's birthday!
