Remember That Christmas When.....

Remember that Christmas when we went to see A Christmas Carol at Theatre Memphis?
The girls absolutely loved it and want to be in the play next year.





And then afterwards, we went to eat dinner in a bar, with kids, at 10PM? The girls love their hot wings and were elbow deep in them.

Remember that Christmas when I decided to start a running club in the middle of December?
Last Saturday was our first meeting...and only 3 of us ran. Well, plus 2 junior members who entertained themselves on the playground after they got tired over running one lap.

Remember how we talked so much so that we didn't even notice that we walked almost 5 miles? That's the beauty of exercising with a group.....

Remember that Christmas when I took off work to go to the girls' Christmas parties at school? And then we spent the entire day shopping until we dropped?

And Kate won the snowman competition at her party? She was a good snowman....
And Alex literally did drop after shopping?

And then they both randomly decided to get their hair chopped off?

Remember that Christmas where stuff was piled up everywhere and I couldn't get the house straightened to save my life?



Maybe one day I'll get all this stuff put up (and that new TV put together). Maybe.
Remember that Christmas when the kids had more fun with the photo props than they did with their new toys?


Remember that Christmas when Alex got $80 worth of makeup?
I'm pretty sure I don't have $80 worth of makeup and I'm actually allowed to wear it on the reg.

Remember that Christmas when pink eye shadow was back in style? Yeah, me either but Alex does.

Remember that Christmas when Kate got the most ridiculously ugly shoes? The ones that came with wheels? Ugghhh, so ugly, but she loves them!

Remember that Christmas when I got a Forever Young ring? My husband is the bomb.com.

Remember that redneck Christmas? When the kids got guns, camo, a camping tent, and sleeping bags?


**check out that outfit, looking good Alex**
Remember that Christmas when Kate was sick and Alex was jealous because she wanted to be sick too?

**her wish was granted the night of Christmas, don't you worry**

Remember that Christmas that we spent in PJs watching movies?


Remember that Christmas spent waiting FOREVER in the ER?

And FH only had about 4 hours sleep within the last 48 hours? And Kate was embarassed because she had to wear a mask and she thought she looked ugly in it?
And then we finished off with Chinese as our Christmas dinner?
This Christmas weekend was a LONG one. Not exactly as we expected it, but sick kids means lots of cuddle time.

I'm so grateful for the time I spent with my family this Christmas, I'm so grateful that we are almost always healthy and rarely spend time in the hospital, and I'm so grateful for each of my readers.

Hope every one had a very Merry Christmas! Now I can't wait to get off work today so I can get all my decorations put back up in the attic...am I the only one that wants everything put up immediately following Christmas?? I almost put it all up last night, but laziness won over.

Happy Hump Day! Pin It Now!

  5. I am so putting my decor away on Friday. My daughter also got ugly shoes too- the ones that light up. But whatever makes her happy! Looks like y'all had a great Christmas, minus the er.
