Making Christmas Cookies

Britt and Clay helped decorate Christmas cookies this year. We give some away, take some to Rushville, and of course sample some ourselves! They really had fun making each cookie a masterpiece!

Trey and IPFW vs. Purdue 12.22.08

Mike, Sandi, Chad and I traveled to West Lafayette to watch Chad's cousin play basketball. Trey #44 started for IPFW and we think he played around 12-13 minutes (not bad for a freshman!). #15 Purdue did win the game but it was very neat as a Purdue alumni to see our Trey play at Mackey Arena. At 6'10" he looks big even on the big floor!

Here are the family members that traveled to Purdue to watch Trey. From top left: Jason, Brian, Phil, Chad, Janice, TREY, Donnie, Brock From bottom left: Mike, Sandi, Susie, Kelly, Cassie, Mary

McCorkle and Brumley Families Dec 08

After some prompting I got my husband to agree to take this family pic. I LOVE the way our church decorates for Christmas and I couldn't resist the photo op!


Our friends the Brumley's came to watch Britt's program so we posed them as well!

Thanks guys for being good sports!

Brittany's Choir Program 12.21.08

Brittany was in a choir production of "Miracle on Main Street" at our church this past Sunday. The choir has been practicing for months and they did so well! Britt volunteered for a speaking part and she had her part memorized to a "t". We are so proud of how well she did! She simply looked beautiful! She is going to be 8 on Christmas Day and she is looking like a young lady now instead of a our little girl!

Busy Saturday-Britt's Hoop Shoot Contest & McCorkle Christmas 08

Brittany competed in a Hoop Shoot Contest at the Marion Gym on Saturday 12-13-08. She qualified during gym at school and represented her elementary school at the contest. She came in 4th! We were very happy considering it was her 1st time competing and she was technically 7 yrs old and there were 10 yr. olds in her division. Chad was a proud papa! She was really shy at 1st since she shoots granny, but she warmed up and even made a friend! Here's my 1st blog video!



Saturday evening we had McCorkle Christmas. It was fun to get together. For the 1st time in several years all the brothers/sisters were home so here is a rare family photo.

Disney on Ice December 2008

Aunt Pam and Uncle Jay took all the kids (minus baby Kennedy) to see Disney on Ice as their Christmas present. Everyone had a good time! Thanks for the fun and the memories!

Miller Christmas 2008

We had Miller Christmas on 12.13.08. We were all able to catch up with each other. I got a chance to see my new baby niece again! For some reason I didn't get any pictures of Jay and Pam with Kennedy. Here are some pics from our day.

This picture of the 2nd generation cousins just makes me smile. Growing up I was very close to my cousins and I love it that my kids know their Rville cousins.
