Christmas Time

Okay, this pictures is just to show you that yes, Alex is still around. He just rarely lets us get pictures! This is after the Tide Rolled over Auburn 36-0. He really is happy and so is Dalton, they just HATE pictures!

I even completely understood the obnoxious problem Alex had with Auburn fans. While waiting for his lab class Wednesday two obviously Auburn boys walked up, Alex knew them, I did not, and just started in on how awful Alabama was, "they were going to the National Championship, but they lost, how great are you now?" I saw Alex getting mad, but he handled himself very well. I reminded them they lost to Alabama 36-0, and then their coach quit. One just nodded and went on, the other one kept going he refused to give up. I told him they were good last year, but this year his team really stunk. We lost one game, so far, but we beat Auburn, and that was all that mattered. I guess he was just upset because his team REALLY stunk this year, so bad that his coach even stepped away. Okay, so maybe I was a little hard, but he would not let up and after 6 long years we have the bragging rights back, so look out. If you start something with us, we will finish it! Alex, by the way was very pleased. "I told you they were obnoxious", "I really don't like those guys, but for some reason they look for me and Dalton every time to hangout with us." ROOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLL TIDE!

These girls were invited to decorate a tree in an 1800s cabin by the Jefferson County Historical Society. They are sitting in front of their completed tree. They did a great job! Ms. Grunge was so surprised, she did not expect so many ornaments made by the girls, we even had to place ornaments around the rest of the house because they just would not fit on the tree. Good job girls!

I love a Christmas Parade! We went to the Gardendale Christmas Parade last week. It was beautiful. We met some friends and had dinner at Chik-Fil-A and then went outside to watch the parade. It as FREEZING. We had no feeling in our hands or feet until we were nearly home. Yes we had sock, shoes, and gloves on. It was just really cold. Bri even asked if she would get frostbite on her fingers. Okay, I thought it was funny, but that was how cold it was.

This is a masterpiece by Ms. Brianna. She did an awesome job I think! She did this all by herself! Her elves left her a gingerbread house kit and she went to town with it. I did not post the pics of dad eating the leftover icing, or the dog begging under the table. This is the house that the elves nearly ate up this week. No she is not mad, she thought it was funny. Like I said, I REALLY believe they had help!

Well that is pretty much what we have been doing so far during this holiday season. Yesterday we went shopping with Granny. We had a great day. It has been a VERY long time since we have had a day to hangout with her. We pretty much wrapped up our Christmas shopping too! The kids got a few things early for Christmas in the form of Christmas outfits, PJs, and just a few fill-in clothes that were needed. I told them they needed to let me wrap them and put them under the tree or they would not have much Christmas morning, but they said they did not care, they knew what it was already! Well with two posts in one day, I fairly used up my "busy looking" time. The natives are starting to hunt me down, so I guess I should go and get things moving for the day. One of which is most likely a visit to Santa. I realized this morning we have not seen Santa yet and 2 weeks left before the big day, well I have one very anxious girlie!

I hope each of you have a very blessed week, as you prepare for the celebration of the birth of our Saviour.
