Christmas tree

We are so behind on everything. Next year I really need to say no more. Ever since school started I have felt behind and not enough time for the truly important things.

Every year we go and cut down the perfect tree. Well this year... We were out of town over Thanksgiving ( when we normally go),then I was in Memphis the next weekend.

So we were going to go the next weekend. Nolan had to go to Chicago ( for work) on Sunday. So it left us Saturday to go. We had gymnastics and we just ran out of time

So we went to Ted Drewes( yes the famous custard place). It's pretty famous in St. Louis and in the winter the sell custard and have a tree lot. The kids had so much fun!! But, the trees big enough for our room were 200 dollars! No way I would pay that. So we got a much smaller tree. It's really pretty and I like it. It's just too small. Last year we had 12 feet. This is like 6 feet. Oh well next year we will be back to cutting our own down

St. Jude Half Marathon

Over the weekend I went to Memphis for the St Jude race with a few friends. We were gone for a full two days. And it was amazing! Lots of relaxing time. In typical tired mom fashion we were in our room by 7 every night and up before 6am. Wow we are a wild bunch!

Everything was great. Company, car ride, hotel, meals, and the race was my favorite ever.





The race finished in the Memphis cardinals stadium. The stands were packed. We got to run on the warning track and finish on the field... Pretty cool
