Christmas Card . . . Attempts!

We'd love to have a Christmas card picture of our family, but the verdict is still out!

Milestones

Since it has been almost a month since my last post I'm way behind on mentioning all of Asher's most recent milestones. He has not only discovered how to use a straw he has figured out how to hold his own cup while using a straw! At 17 months, Asher can also almost walk down the stairs alone, go down slides by himself and has lots more words including "shoe, NeeNee, PaPaw, Elmo, red, blue, two, and woof, and moo" and several more that we're not just quite sure what they are!

Traditions!

In addition to enjoying a great meal we enjoyed some other family traditions over the Thanksgiving holiday. Our Black Friday shopping expedition actually started at 9:00 p.m. unlike previous years where we would get up at the crack of dawn. And Asher decided he couldn't pass up the opportunity to join in on our yearly holiday cookie baking. Of course some we also did some serious Thanksgiving football watching with Papaw as well!

Thankful

What an amazing Thanksgiving. Heath, Asher and I were lucky enough to host our third Thanksgiving since moving to VA. My parents, Heath's parents and niece Maddie all made the long trek down to visit. We had a great time and enjoyed a really really good meal. We are SO thankful for our amazing son and all of our family. We are so blessed to have a roof over our heads, plenty of food to eat, jobs we enjoy and such caring family and friends to share our lives with.

Turkey Trot

In the midst of the holiday season I've gotten a little behind in my posting! Perhaps it was because was too busy training for the Turkey Trot?!!! Well . . . maybe not but we DID have a GREAT time at running in our 2nd seasonal 5K. This time mom, dad and Maddie joined us as well. The hills were killer but we all ran PBs.
