Come on Christmas!

I think we have packed all we can get into December: A visit from Blake and my brother, a Marathon in Dallas, Christmas school party, shopping, PJ night at church, most of the baking we are going to do and a visit with Santa to name a few. The only thing left is to go ice skating and see the lights in Marshall which hopefully will happen tonight. We had a fun visit with my nephew Blake and my brother who came in town after Thanksgiving. It's always fun to be with them but SAD to see them go. I REALLY wish they lived closer. Blake stayed for almost 2 weeks. I always loved time with cousins and I think our kids do too. Anna Claire is already asking when we are going to Vegas. We took the kids to the cutest PJ night at church while Blake was here. For Anna Claire's age they had a cute spa set up where the girls had their hair and nails and toes done. She LOVED it. Blake got to have pizza and a movie, and Leighton age they just played and sent home cute pictures of the little ones by the manger scene. Let's see, oh yes and the most difficult task of December (Matt agrees even harder than running 26.2 miles) okay well maybe not that hard was getting one, JUST ONE stinkin picture for our Christmas card. Take a look at the many attempts, quite funny. The marathon pictures are going in a separate post. I can't move the pictures around the way I need to so they are in random order....sorry.

Attempts at the Christmas card. The one of Leighton laid back in the chair is my favorite.

The one we used is in the swing.
