Extended.Purcell.Christmas.

We had such a fun time hosting the Purcell Christmas Get-Together in Indianapolis this year. We held it at Northside, which was perfect with the great kitchen and gym. The guys enjoyed games of basketball and the cousins + Uncle Gale enjoyed some old school roller skating! We were happy for those that could make it and missed those who couldn't be there this year!
Luke and Sam announcing the basketball game, Luke had all the right words and was hilarious doing that
Nobody was injured during the basketball playing, but plenty of soreness the next day:)
Uncle Ed still has game. He has been wearing this red sweater for as long as I can remember. He said he received it from my Grandma (his mother) and has worn it each Christmas since (I can't remember what year he said). Still looks like new!
Corey loved playing with Sam and Sam loved playing with him too!!
The Engaged couple having some friendly competition.
Here we are with the roller skates. I think this was everyone who participated in the roller derby, except Michelle. It was surprisingly really fun and brought back some memories for all of us of Junior High Days:)
Sam tried his skills at roller skating. He liked it and wanted to go "real fast", but his feet kept going every which way.
It was a fun day and we were happy to have the gathering in Indianapolis!

Today was the first day of cross country season for the Junior High team.  The thing about XC is that the work is put in during the summer months with early morning runs, afternoon runs, track workouts, and hill repeats.  All that work starts to become evident during these days when the races start. Jacob woke up feeling excited to get the season started.  Abigail work up at 5:48am to fix her hair and get ready for the bus.  Abram was pretty nervous as he woke up. 5th grade girls The kids ran their hearts out and did so well for the first meet. Jacob placed 2nd for his team and 3rd overall to help the boys varsity team clutch 1st place for Varsity Boys team.  Abigail looked strong and had an overall 4th place finish for the JV girls and placed 2nd for her team. Abram looked blocked it at the beginning but certainly made up for it with a strong ending to finish 1st place in the JV boys race. Let's go Tigers!

On Saturday, Nathan, Heather and Caleb came for a visit.  We had an absolutely beautiful day, and we wanted to spend the day outside.  Some people had recommended Maymont Park.  Maymont is a park that is hundreds of acres with a stone castle and barn, some animals, and lots of space for the boys to run around. Andrew wanted to get his boots wet and Aunt Heather supervised.  I am glad we crated more boots! The walk with beautiful and we enjoyed visiting along the way. There was lots of rock climbing... and lots of goats! Jacob and Caleb did a great job riding around in the strollers, but needed some time to stretch too! I love this picture of Nathan and Caleb.  He is such a great daddy and I love to see him with Caleb. Sam enjoyed a cigar at the park too.  (I joke!) The little babies ate some grass. Andrew found the cows and wanted to pet them. Sam, Andrew, Nathan and Hap found a great rock to jump off of.  Sam was fearless and surprised u...
