Great weekend!

I wanted to share our pictures from last Sunday.  Lance played in the "Turkey Bowl", (AKA cut-throat church flag football), and they had a blast!  They played on the quad, so we joined him. I apologize that none of the pictures are of him.  I can't resist the little boy - I swear, the camera just loves him :)  Anyway, the weather was great, so LJ, Me-Maw and I had to get out there and enjoy it!  We walked the quad, headed to the football field to see the big Bear Bryant statue, then headed back to Lance so we could make our way to Calera for the Polar Express train ride.  It was a great trip and totally worth the drive!  We even got some free glow sticks out of the deal - not sure how, but we'll take it :)  I hope your weekend was great, too :)  Sending some Christmas magic your way - after all, it's December!

LJ and Me-Maw in front of "Uncle B's House"...known to most of the state as Denny Chimes.  He wasn't there - I guess he must have been at the store or something? :)

A GIANT statue of the Bear - in Bama fans' hearts, he really was this big...or bigger :)

My boys waiting to get on the train

...we weren't the only ones!

This made the whole thing worth it - the fact that LJ is sitting this close to Santa, not screaming and telling him what he wants for Christmas is a big leap.  Usually, he's VERY afraid.  He even told him at first, "I have enough toys", so he'd go away :)
