Morton Madness

Our neighbor, John has always wanted to hold a Guinness World Record so during quarantine he got to thinking of what he could do.  He came up with Most Paper Banners Breakthrough in 30 Seconds.  He gathered up the neighbors and we made his dream come true!  Sophia and Madelyn made banner and and Justin made banner.  We all met at the gazebo down the street and lined them up and off he went.  He actually went through 18 banners!  He had to send all this info. to GWR and will hear back in about 12 weeks.  So glad we could be a part of this.    

Unfortunately the Annual Henley, Morton, Yar Christmas did not happen this year due to COVID-19.  We decided to do a pic anyway so we would always remember.     

Ronnie and Causby came to visit.  Sophia was so excited she could hardly stand it.  Sophia and I went and got them matching jammies to keep up the tradition.  They came down and had done their make up :)  They prepared the french toast for New Years Day breakfast.   Luke rang in the new year at Landons, Jonah stayed home, Seth sacked out about 11:30 and Justin fell asleep before midnight.  The girls were staying up to have their sparkling grape juice at midnight.  They made it!  I crawled in bed shortly after midnight and as I closed my eyes, the fireworks started going off.  Glad they did not last long.   Fingers crossed 2021 is not as messed up as this CRAZY year has been!  We are SO over masks and COVID.    

I had to take Luke to the bank so I could get put back on his account, somehow I was removed when Prosperity took over Legacy Bank.  I could not be put back on it unless he was with me to sign some papers... SERIOUSLY people, can you NOT see that the account is 15 years old and he is a minor?  So, after we got me put back on the account we decided to go ahead and get him a debit card while we were there so we do not have to go back when he turns 16.  Luke also pumped his first tank of gas!  The first of many, many more to come!    

Luke was the first one up and downstairs this morning and Seth about 4 min. behind him.  It was 7:45 so I went up and woke Jonah and Sophia up to come see if Santa came!  Jonah got his monitor for his gaming PC, Sophia got her air track for tumbling, Luke got the guitar he wanted along with an amp and Seth got a Nintendo Switch.  All the kids were happy with Santa.   Meemaw and Pops came over for breakfast, we had the french toast Sophia made last night and ham and egg cups.  After they left we got ready to head over to Mimi and Papa's for lunch.  Judy was bringing Aunt Jo by for another drive by.  Mom went earlier that morning to see Grannie, she was sleeping so they woke her up and mom said she wasn't sure if she really knew who she was.   We ate pork tenderloin, glazed carrots, a veggie salad that Carlie brought and I brought  asparagus bundles.  

This Christmas Eve was a little different this year.  The Frisco Raccoons made it to the playoffs and due to COVID we played on Christmas Eve at 7:30.  They got to play at The Star so that was nice and close to home.  We knew it was going to be a late night so Sophia and I prepared our Christmas morning breakfast before we left for the game.  She helped make the make ahead french toast and whip cream.     So proud of the Frisco Raccoons!  We could not pull of the WIN but they played great.  Jonah was not able to play but we were there supporting him and the rest of the team.  Meemaw and Pops came to the game and Luke saw Landon and Conner.  We also saw Coach Davis!  After the game we saw Brielle and Nicolette out front.  They were there cheering for their cousin who plays for Aledo.  

Sophia's social calendar is jam packed!  She is NEVER not doing something.  She had a fun Christmas Tree Decorating Party at Harpers and celebrated Madelyn's birthday at Top Golf.
