Christmas 2009

For the first time in 10 years Wes had Christmas Eve off. We had dinner with my mom and grandma before heading over to Freeport. Zac, Gracie, and Wyatt received a brand new trampoline on Christmas Eve from their Nana and Mama. Once in Freeport we dropped off our loot at Aunt Tina's and then headed over to grandma's for a little shut-eye (Wyatt thought it was time to party). The next morning was filled with fun! Santa left Zac and Gracie new bikes, and he conviently didn't put them together since we were traveling. Gerald and Tina had prepared a wonderful feast for the crowd and we stuffed ourselves until we were miserable. The whole weekend was really a blessing, it was nice to be around family. After church with Grandma and P-pa on Sunday we made our way back to Crawfordville.

Christmas with PaPa

On Friday night I celebrated Christmas with the girls, and then on Saturday I ran in the Jingle Bell Run while Wes and the kids saved us a spot for the parade. Sunday morning we had breakfast with our Sunday school class and that afternoon Papa, Ben, Victoria, Elijah, and Jacob came over. We ate deer ham, mashed potatoes, peas, rolls, and dump cake and followed that up with presents. It was a great time!

Winter Wiggle

Gracie had her first gymanstics performance for IGG (International Gold Gymnastics)on Saturday, December 12th. She completed a floor routine, as well as the bars, the vault, and the beam. Wes and I are very proud of how fast she has caught on after only three months of gymnastics. We can't wait to see how well she does in the spring. Much thanks goes out to her coaches Nina and Carrie.

Santa comes to Crawfordville!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
