ReMarkable Foundation Run

I was quite impressed with myself for doing the 5k. This was such a good cause. This man goes to our church and was riding his motorcycle and was hit by a car and paralyzed from the waist down. Last year they did the run as part of the youth conference. This year was just to continue it and support him and his family. We had some of the young women interested in going and since Romy and I have been walking for a while we decided to go. We started out running and then I started to slow down. We also helped another one along the way. After the first mile Mark was in his wheel chair waving to everyone. That was such a moving moment for me to keep going. We made it and we had fun.

Our Trip to see the Live Nativity

We went with Humphries and my mom to Waxahachie to walk through the streets of Bethlehem. At first it was so crowded and I felt a little disappointed because I was in hopes of a spiritual experience. As we walked through I started to enjoy it. We let the crowd move on and then we could take our time. They actually had Mary riding through town on a donkey. They had the money changers,tax collectors, olive press wheel,Roman soldiers and they even talked to you as if you were in that time. It was a very busy time back then and they were busy so it was true to the way it was. The kids enjoyed it and as you can see Claire probably enjoyed it the most. Afterwards we drank hot chocolate and had cookies at the car. (The ending to a great night- Claire fell on the gravel and embedded one in her forehead. Blood was all over her face. She survived with a band-aid and a few tears) Oh and in case anyone is wondering where Hannah is well, right before we were walking out the door realized she had a project due the next day. So instead of hearing about it the whole time I sent her next door so her and her friend could work on it and she hopefully will learn not to wait until the last minute.

Random pictures around Christmas

Hannah got braces right before Christmas and isn't she cute with her new grill.

My latest addition to my Christmas decorations. Floating ornaments.

We also went to see Madaline's Christmas with Grandma Ila.
