The Weekend

This weekend Todd and I did something neither of us had done in years - we had a sleepover with our friends! We invited Troy and Rebekah over on Friday night. They came in their pajamas, arms full of sleeping bags and blankets.

We made sugar cookies, watched movies, played games, stayed up late, slept in late, and went out for breakfast. It was tons of fun. We are so grateful for the Wikle's friendship. They are really keeping us sane while we're out here in southern Alabama.


So people around here have been getting their yards decorated for Christmas. Something that's really popular around here are the blow-ups. You know, big Santa, big Grinch, big whatever. It seems like if you've got lights on your house, you've also got a blow-up in your yard. Everyone has them.

Well, I spotted a real treasure about a block away. This really says it all about Alabama. Check it out.

Yes, you really are seeing Nascar Santa. Those ARE elves changing the tires on his car. Welcome to the South!

I love that when you see something that is so "alabama" that you actually get a picture and post it -- what a crack up! Brian and I thought that the Nascar Santa was hysterical and it just wouldn't have been as funny without a picture!

Ok, seriously, once you and brian and courtni are back in CA we have to DO this with whatever relic of the original group is left!!

You should defiantly invest in a gem like the Nascar Santa.
