Posted are pictures of the Brookhaven Christmas Parade that Maddie and Sara were in with their competitive gymnastics team. I am so proud of their accomplishments and how far they have come in gymnastics from the beginning of the season. Their gym coach said they are now ready for their first competition, which is the last weekend in January. I am so excited and so are they. So if I am able to keep one of my new years resolutions, then you can look for pictures of their gym meet sometime the first of February.
Posted are pictures of Sara at the Nutcracker. I tried to take Maddie but she said that was not her thing (she is not girly at all!). My sister in law and niece also went with us. We had a great time. We attended the 2:00 matinee and then we went out for an early dinner to Bonsai, which Sara loved, and then shopping followed by a late night dessert stop for the girls. We arrived back in Brookhaven around 11:00 that night...what a fun day!
Next was the decorating of the Christmas tree, and that was also the night we took our Christmas card pictures and that was also the weekend of the Nutcracker. We tried to bake Christmas cookies that weekend but I think we got one or two batches in but they were not decorated (better luck next year).

Also, I have pictures posted from the girls performance in the children's church choir, Christmas at Granny's house and Christmas at our house, oh yeah and our second snow day of the year! So, our December has been busy with a little of everything including an out of town trip to go shopping on the coast, parties at work, performances at school, and just the ordinary drama of raising four girls!
Sometime in January I will get around to posting a blog about what we have coming up next year and New Years Eve, which I think is just going to be family night with games, cooking, and a little fireworks. I am contemplating joining the Team in Training with the Leukemia and Lymphoma organization (LLS). I am not sure if I can make that kind of a commitment right now, as I already have a lot on my plate. For those of you who don't know, my mom passed away 3 and a half years ago from Leukemia. The Team in Training also known as TNT - TNT is the world's first, best and largest charity sports training program. Through this program you train with a team to participate in a LLS sanctioned marathon or triathlon while raising money for the cause. The program requires about a four to six month commitment...so I will just see ,who know but keep checking back and I will update on my decision along with our family life. If you are interested in learning more, I have posted the links to LLS and TNT - http://www.leukemia-lymphoma.org/hm_lls http://www.teamintraining.org/
