Weekend Update

We had a busy week which culminated in a busy weekend. 'Tis the season!

Shan enjoyed a visit from Christa in her classroom this week as they wrote to Santa. Cute cheeseballs!

The kids and I went to Literacy Night on Thursday and they posed with Olaf.

Bryan was gone every night this week with an overnight absence on Saturday. Still, he has decorated the house exterior nicely, even lighting the tall tree he claimed to hate. It looks great!

Saturday afternoon the kids ran the Jingle Bell Fun Run. Carrie and Jack, did, too, and Grampa A was the walking chaperone in case of meltdowns along the course.

They sported goofy elf caps!

And they're off!

Shan was a trooper - 5K is a long way for those short legs! She came in 67th overall and did finish with a smile! Gramps was a cheerleader and Grandpa Johnson was along the course encouraging both kiddos, too!

Mitchell finished 13th overall and was first in his age group of 0-9 years. He really hustled! And was happy to accept cocoa from Grama A at the finish line!

Then he walked up the course and helped Shannon finish. 

We also got our tree lit and decorated this weekend! Mitch is a very focused ornament hanger.

Shannon was a helper, too!
Now, we are almost ready for the holidays!
