Christmas at Meme's and Pop Pops

We enjoyed our Second Christmas gathering at Meme and Pop Pop's house with Grammie. We had a wonderful time, here are some pictures:

Nate got an awesome hat that is reversible. You can flip it over and it becomes an entirely different hat.

The same hat reversed

Pop Pop noticed at our tree decorating party that my gate was broken. One of his presents was fixing the gate and surprising me on Christmas! Great present. Not only did he fix it but then he installed it while I was gone on vacation. Thanks Pop Pop! It works great now!

2011 Race to fill the pantry

The family got to run in the 2011 Race to fill the pantry out in Glastonbury. They hosted a 5k Walk, 5k Run and a Kids Run. Meme and Pop Pop came out to support us, take some great pictures and to keep an eye on Nathaniel. Penny and Chelsea also ran the race with us. (Chelsea won Second for her age group!)

Here are some pictures and a video. We hope to run it again next year.

Nathaniel Ran in his first race today and had a blast.
