The reason for the season

Wenn and I made this cake on Christmas Eve. She picked a picture out of a cake book, chose the colors and helped make sure the icing tasted just right. We sang "Happy Birthday" and she got to blow out the candles. It was a fun way to celebrate Christmas!

Christmas fun

Just a couple pictures of the holiday festivities. The top picture is of Wenn in her Princess Alexa outfit. She is obsessed with the Barbie Diamond Castle movie. The second is Wenn shaving with her new shaving kit. She helps Andy shave in the morning and this way it is much safer. The third is Wenn and Jacob playing with Jacob's new remote control T-Rex. It was a great Christmas and so much fun because Wenn actually understood everything this year.

The Family

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year!

Wish you were here!

We are missing AC, Elias and Murpee! Merry Christmas to all of our family that will not be traveling to the Delta during the holidays! We miss all of you!

The Wiseman and the Angel

Andy and Wenn were in our church program Sunday night. Andy was a wiseman and Wenn was an angel. I guess they didn't need a Mary Great with Child because I would have been perfect for that part!

He did it!

Andy ran the St. Jude marathon Saturday and did great! He finished in 3 hours 34 minutes and 28 seconds. There were 43 people from Greenville that ran either the half-marathon or the whole. The first picture is a group shot of some of the people from Greenville. The second picture is Andy, Matt Kirkpatrick, Chad Freeman and Phillip Doiron. These crazy four have trained together since the beginning and as you can see, they were all very happy to have made it! I was so proud that I was crying when Andy finished and didn't get a picture of him crossing the line - it is such a HUGE accomplishment and he has worked so hard! Next year he will take on the role of coach as he helps me train and runs the marathon with me. Congratulations to everyone from Greenville who participated and finished the race - you are truly an inspiration to us all!

Off to the races!

This weekend is the St. Jude Marathon in Memphis. Andy has been training since June and it is finally here. I am so incredibly proud of him and can not wait to watch him cross the finish line. Please keep him and everyone from Greenville that is running in your thoughts and prayers on Saturday! I'll post pictures when we get back. Good luck to everybody and stay warm!

Oh Christmas Tree!

We decorated our Christmas tree Sunday and it was so much fun. Usually I follow my rule about not doing Christmas until after my birthday but we are going to be gone the next two weekends so the rule had to be broken. Wenn was so precious! This is the first year she has really understood everything and she has been so excited! It is so much fun to experience Christmas with her! Now if Santa can only keep up with her ever growing list!
