Look what big brother taught me!

Rudolph Run

Tyler, Colby and I participated in Allen's Annual Rudolph Run! We had a good time. Allen has this yearly run to help make fitness a family affair and to continue supporting the fight against childhood obesity. There was a 5K run and a 1 mile fun run. We entered the fun run and Tyler walked/ran the entire thing alongside Colby and I! Hopefully it is something we can continue to do every year!

Christmas Tree

We decided to get out the Christmas Tree the weekend after Thanksgiving - mainly because we had a long holiday weekend and with it being cold and drizzly we did not have much going on. The boys had fun helping decorate the tree... although, Colby thinks the tree is something we hang 'toys' on so the bottom of the tree is quite bare.

Icontinued our tradition of baking cookies while we decorate (we did that growing up) - and turning on Christmas music... gets everyone in a more festive mood! Here Colby is getting upset because he can't reach the cookies - he tried really hard!

We have a 12 footer so we have to get the ladder out to decorate the middle part... Tyler thought it was super cool to put ornaments up high.

Thanksgiving

This year for Thanksgiving we decided to go up to OK to visity with my family (we alternate every year between my family and Jasons). We drove up that morning and came back that evening. It was pretty chilly but the boys got kind of restless inside so we bundled them up and played in my parents backyard. The boys had a great time jumping, tossing and rolling in the leaves. I forgot my camera so I didn't get any pictures. My dad took some with their digital camera so if my parents ever figure out how to upload pictures to their computer maybe then they can email me some! We had a nice time hanging out and watching football... Oh, and laughing about my sister accidentally eating dog cookies!! Not one, but two!! It was one of those you 'had to be there funny stories' so I won't go into it, but it was seriously the funniest thing I have heard in a long time.

We also celebrated at Tyler's school and I did manage to get a pic!
