Christmas

We had a really enjoyable Christmas!  It started off with Chinese food on Christmas Eve, a walk around the neighborhood to look at Christmas lights, and opening one gift each.  Then early Christmas morning Brooke and Alex ran down the stairs to see what Santa had brought them.  We opened the rest of the presents with a break for delicious cinnamon rolls.  We walked the Dismal Swamp Canal Trail and then I made dinner while AJ put the door on the playhouse.  We all enjoyed a delicious Christmas dinner and cookies for dessert.

Brooke had her dance recital for Tap and Ballet today.  She started with a tap number and finished with her favorite – ballet.  Then after getting her certificate we all had a nice reception with our dancer and she got a well earned cookie and juice box.

Building The Playhouse

While Ammy and Papa were here this week to visit, Papa helped AJ build the kids a playhouse.  They worked very hard every day and even in very cold temperatures to finish the house before Papa had to leave for Arizona.  AJ just needs to do a few finishing touches and we need to paint it, otherwise it is perfect.  Brooke and Alex love their new playhouse and I know AJ loved spending time with his Dad to build it for them.

Ammy and Papa came to visit for Christmas break and had a lot of fun with us.  Brooke and Alex had a good time playing with Ammy and Papa and doing fun Christmas things like making cookies, seeing Christmas lights, opening presents, and AJ and I enjoyed a date night.  Papa was very busy helping AJ build the kid’s biggest Christmas present: The Playhouse.  It was a fun week!

I got to do a fun 5 mile race on the Virginia Beach Oceanfront with my friends Carla and Marcella.  The race we trying to beat the Guinness Book World Record for most runners in a Santa suit.  I ran the race with no training and ended up finishing in 48:38.  We ended up beating the record so my friends and I can say that we helped set a new Guinness Book World Record!
