Christmas Break

We've enjoyed our first week of Christmas break.  The kids have been so relaxed, and this slow pace is exactly what we have needed.  We enjoyed going to see the lights at Valley Creek and then watching the place we visited on TV.  It was pretty cool that they won. This week we have off and will enjoy some more down time.  Jack has to work and I have to work on Tuesday.  We are also working on our science fair experiments. (the science fair is in February, but we have had deadlines starting back in October and continuing on).  I hope you all had a great Christmas with family and friends.

I Choose and Misc

Wednesday Jenna's class went to an outreach project.  We went to I Choose Pregnancy center and cleaned.  I enjoyed watching them.  We enjoyed going to a classmate's house and enjoying a class party afterward.

A couple of months ago Josh and I went to a race and I won a sign.  It said "Refuse to Sink" and had an anchor on it.  I really didn't like the saying so Jacob sanded down the sign.  I've never done a sign and was going to give it to someone to do for me, but since it was so small, I decided to try my hand at it.  This is what I ended up with.

Keeping Busy

December has been an on the go month and we are only on day 9!!  Monday of last week started with bball practice.  Tuesday and Wednesday we had basketball games to attend (both away).  Thursday Josh was sick but that night Jacob still performed in the MS Christmas program.  Friday was the ladies ornament exchange and Saturday we started the day with Golden Corral's company dinner at the Angus Barn Pavilion and then I had another "party" on Saturday night.  Sunday was the kids program at church.  This week picked right off....last night another basketball game and tonight basketball practice.  We have Wednesday to "breathe" and then head for another game on Thursday.  We can breathe again until Saturday night as Josh has a youth activity and I have our Southside dinner.  I love December, but I must admit it gets a little crazy around here!!
