Thompson Christmas

The Thompson's at our house for Christmas Eve dinner.









Leaving for Christmas Eve service at DCPC.

Getting ready to tear into some presents.
(I'm actually the only one that tears. Harry and Laura carefully slice each piece of tape open; an event that takes about 15 minutes to open a single present... very annoying!)

Mom and Dad opening presents at a normal pace.



Our gift to Dad didn't quite fit.

Christmas Cookies

Only in this family would Christmas cookies include Clemson Tiger Paws.

Ugly Christmas Sweater Party

On Friday Harry and I attended an Ugly Christmas Sweater Party. It was awesome!

Our friend Shannon came over on Monday to create our Christmas masterpieces.
Here is what we came up with!


Harry and I at the party. My sweatshirt says "Have a Beary Christmas".
Harry's turtleneck has kittens in stockings and reads "Santa's Little Helpers".


The girls... Jessica, me, Shannon, and Allie looking lovely as ever!


Harry and our host, Bryan enjoying their festive outfits!


The gentlemen in all their glory!


The ladies... pure eye candy!


Enough said.

13.1

Beginning in September, Harry and I have began training for Charlotte's Thunder Road Half Marathon. Yesterday, we ran the 13.1 miles we've been working towards. It was exhausting, but also very rewarding. We finished in 2 hours and 23 minutes (averaging about an 11 minute mile). We don't have pictures to post yet (we were a little too busy running to snap pictures) but we did have some friends at the finish line, so we hope to post some soon.
