Big Red Rascal Night at WKU

Big Red invited all the rascals to attend the men's basketball game with South Alabama.  All the kids got to have their picture taken with Big Red and the cheerleaders.  Big Red led the kids to the tunnel to greet the basketball players as they came out!  Gehrig invited his friend, Jaxson, to attend the event with him.  We went to Chuck-E-Cheese and swam at the hotel.  I always love attending game at WKU.  I like the personal atomsphere of the smaller arena and being able to connect with the players.  I think the boys really enjoyed it too.

Little League Basketball

Little league basketball is now over.  Gehrig had such a great time learning to play this new sport.  We are thankful to Cousin Matt for inviting Gehrig to play in the league and acting as a mentor to him.  Gehrig loves Cousin Matt! 

It's amazing what makes a person happy or excited as an adult.  For me, it was finally after 13 yrs getting a new sofa and loveseat.  Our dog, Bentley, had made his mark on our old furniture and we had been living with slipcovers for a long time.  New furniture makes an old house alive again!  That is how we feel! 

Christmas

Wow!  When Christmas came, it came fast and furious.   I enjoyed this year more than any I do believe.  We were busy and busy!  It was great to spend time with family and friends and cherish the reason for the season - Jesus birth!  My son, Gehrig, caught on to both meanings of Christmas.  He was so much fun, watching the excitement and joy in his face.  He really enjoyed playing with his friends and cousins.  Here's to a great 2012!  Happy New Year to all!

Church Christmas Program

We had our Christmas program at church.  It was so cute!  The props turned out fantastic.  The play was based on the story of Jesus birth from Luke.  Gehrig was a game player.  His group, the frogs, sang Away in the Manager.  The kids did a fantastic job. 

Preschool Christmas Party

Gehrig had his preschool Christmas party.  Each of the children brought a book to give for a gift.  As Ms. Kristie read "Twas the Night Before Christmas", the children would pass the book to their neighbor every time the word "the" was read.  Gehrig received a really nice book from a friend and the teachers gave him one too.  The kids had a snack and received some other goodies from their friends.  I was amazed at how quiet and patient this class was when each child opened their gift.  This is Gehrig's last year of preschool.  He has learned so much.  We are very thankful to Memorial for being so wonderful!

Trip to Polar Express

We made a trip to the Polar Express via the Ky Railway Museum.  We had so much fun singing songs, drinking hot chocolate and eating cookies.  Santa and Rudolph made a surprise visit too!  Gehrig is so excited about Christmas this year!  We are really enjoying this season.
