The giant sandwich

 Wes gave me a giant Chick-fil-a chicken sandwich puzzle for Christmas. It was the hardest puzzle to ever come through the door. Every piece was chicken colored except for the pickles! Nobody usually enjoys helping me do a puzzle, but they were all in on this one. We even finished it by flashlight when the electricity went out right when we got to the end!

Indoor track

 We started out the new year in Birmingham with Reed at our first ever indoor track meet. It was insane how they kept that thing running. There were around 20-25 heats in each event, and runners were everywhere! PR in the mile!

New Year’s Eve Formal

We said goodbye to 2023 with the THS New Year's Eve Formal.  It's the latest night ever, but they enjoyed it!

Christmas

 I didn't break out the camera much at all for Christmas this year, but we enjoyed having both sets of grandparents here for the first time.  Should have taken a picture!!  

Abe got a bandana.

The most memorable gift was the "mystery" shirt from Homefield. Nobody knew what they were getting, but now they want this every year!

December happenings

 Reed went to an Ole Miss game with friends and made an appearance on the jumbotron.  He had an MSU shirt on under his hoodie, but he wasn't quick enough!


Some of the Lawndale seniors at the youth Christmas party


TSO in Birmingham was awesome...again!



Reed made his boxes of goodies for all the neighbors again, and everyone was very appreciative!



William and his senior friends were penpals with 2nd graders this year, and they took a day to go meet and hang out with them.

The kids have begged for years to get lights on the house for Christmas, so we gave in this year.  We all loved it!


This is what strep looks like.

Thanksgiving at the beach

 Another fun week at the beach for Thanksgiving. We had the biggest house yet, plenty of food, water polo, a chance meeting with Andy Roddick, games, and William ran his best race yet at a 6:05 pace.
