A big day for Jenae...

Today was a really big day for Jenae. Marilyn picked her up at 5:30 this morning and they headed to Norfolk to attend Sarah Palin's book signing. Jenae has been a HUGE Sarah fan ever since the November 08 election. It was a real dream come true for her to get to meet Sarah. They stopped & picked up Hope on the way to Norfolk. They had to be in line to get a ticket to be able to get a book signed by Sarah.

Leading up to today Jenae has been referring to Sarah in the by her first name only. Last night when I was putting her to bed I told her "you better get to sleep, it is going to be an early morning tomorrow." She gave me a funny look and said "why?" and before I could answer her she said "oh I get to see Sarah tomorrow." As I was getting her ready this morning I was giving her a little talking to about how to be a really good girl for Grammy today and not complain about anything and that if she was a really good girl there would be other times that Grammy would ask her to do thing. Jenae asked " like what?" I said "well maybe if Obama comes to town" Jenae got a really disgusted look on her face and said "I would NEVER go see that guy!!!!" Maybe she has been watching a little to much Fox News with her Daddy!

At the book signing they did not allow any photos with Sarah, but Jenae was very excited to get a picture with Sarah's daughters Willow & Piper.

Yesterday Amy & Danni came up for visit. They brought the Zutavern boys along to play with Jenae & Aubree. It was a much nicer day and the kids spent a lot of the time outside.

Thursday night Jenae, Aubree & I stayed up until midnight decorating for Christmas. They had so much fun looking through all the decorations and deciding where to put them.

It as been a busy past few days, but it is so nice to have some time off work. Monday will roll around soon enough. Today was another really nice day I think it was in the mid 40's. Only a couple of days until the first of December....that is when the real craziness begins :-)

Jenae taking Speedster around the barrels in a cool day. Her pattern was a little rusty from how good she was doing this summer when she practiced everyday. Speedster looked liked he enjoyed running the barrels as much as Jenae did. After one of her faster runs of the day she was smiling from ear to ear & she said "Now that is what I call fun"



Jenae & Aubree hanging the ornaments.



Jenae & Aubree having fun decorating the tree. They did a great job with it. I told Jenae that it was theirs to do what they wanted with the tree, but not to be offended if I moved things around after they were done. Jenae was so concerned that I would change what she was doing that she made sure to do a good job putting the ornaments all over the tree, not just the middle bottom of the tree.
