These are the days of our elves (que soap opera music)

Seeing as it's been many, many days since the last post, we are going to play a little game of "see what's been going on for the past 10 days and then you'll know how crazy busy it has been around the McLure house and that's why I haven't posted lately!"  Let's start with the elves...

They've had sack races, hidden dozens of candy canes around the house for the boys to seek, played a game of baseball in their bedroom, held a strongest elf competition, and on their last night trained a bunch of stuffed animals (and Polly) how to spread Christmas cheer while they are gone. 

Last weekend was the McLure family Christmas in Athens with Jammy, Grandy, Charles, Pat, John, Michelle, Wesley, Liz, Nar, Hunter and Lilly. The boys had so much fun chasing and being chased by Lilly. We wish she lived closer so she could babysit!  

At first, Lilly was scared of Polly. But when she noticed that Polly wanted nothing to do with her, all Lilly wanted for the rest of the night was to get a picture with Polly. I had to get the boys in on this one and the look on Polly's face is priceless! I have no idea why Polly was so freaked out by Lilly, they're both so sweet!

In Athens, we played a bunch of games, the boys went bowling (Reed rolled his first strike withOUT bumpers) the girls went shopping, and then we went to the UGA basketball game on Sunday night. It was a great weekend!!
