More from Thanksgiving Weekend!

Friday was the Iron Bowl! The Tuesday before Thanksgiving the kids got to wear their team colors to school. At the end of the day they had an Alabama - Auburn pep rally. The teachers competed in crazy games such as musical chairs, football throw and dressed the principal and assistant principal up as scarecrows. The teachers for Alabama won!!

Our friend Wes spent Thanksgiving at his parents house and came to our house Friday. We watched the game - without breathing I might add. It wasn't pretty, but Alabama won and that is all that counts. So we are headed to the SEC championship game to play Florida.

It seems whenever Wes visits we always put him to work. It is usually fixing some computer problem, but we have had him move furniture. This time it was digging a hole and pouring concrete! About a month ago my neighbor, who works for a sporting goods company, told me about some basketball goals on clearance. We needed a new one so we bought one. Got a great deal - a $400 goal for $50. Johnny said he could install it, but since this is a really busy time for us I called around to see about surprising him and having it done. Well, everyone I called wanted between $350 to $400 to install it. Which to me was outrageous! This great deal on a goal wasn't working out quite like we wanted.

So, Friday morning, Johnny and Wes started digging! They dug the hole and got the post set. Johnny will finish it up this weekend. Thanks so much Wes!

James watched and supervised from the back of Granddaddy's truck.

Annamarye and I worked on the reindeer food for their classrooms. I'll post a picture of the finished project later this week. They are really cute. We have made them for the kids' classes for years!
