Cotillion
Here are some pictures from the 6th grade cotillion. Matthew was my date for the evening and I was so impressed with his manners and maturity. He looks so handsome here in front of the fire at Farmington Country Club.
As we are headed out the door.
Real silverware, glasses, gravy boats, and 5 spoons plus 3 forks. Even I was a little confused. To make it even more nerve racking we ended up sitting at the table with the matriarch of the program. She was quick to note any elbows on the table, including mine.
The bunny hop to break the mood.
The full band which was outstanding.
Matthew dancing with his partner. We sat with her at dinner, too.
More bunny hopping.
He is super at the west coast swing. He danced with me and spun me four times in a row. I'm too old for that and got dizzy, yikes.
After shaking hands with 70 adults from the receiving line he was a little rattled. They had to go to each adult, shake their hand and introduce themselves. It was a great experience.

Beautiful boys
Here are some snaps that did not make the annual christmas card. They sure do clean up nice.
Thanksgiving
Serious gaming
Praying to the chocolate fountain. More, More, More,
Football outside after the meal
I'm open...
Kids at the Kids table. They love the fancy glasses
The Bird. It was vegetarian, grain fed from Whole Foods. I brined it and even got some "awesome" comments from the children. We also had stuffing, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie and more. All the classics for a great thanksgiving. Good thing we ran today!
The kids table
The adult table
A hot game of monopoloy while watching the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade.

The Turkey Trot
Group shot pre-run with the Harvies. It was cold and the course was reversed which the group in total felt was more challenging. Everyone ran and beat their times from last year, strong work! Here are the final results http://www.charlottesvilletrackclub.org/latest/results/2008/TurkeyTrot5K.htm
Matthew gets a mocha (coffee with hot chocolate packet, yum!)
Mike gets geared up with his iPod
Panera gives a million miles of bagels
Dan, aka Hobo runner. We have so much high tech workout gear and he shows up in this. That hat is the kicker.
