Merry Christmas!!

Thought I better get this up before actual Christmas came! Merry Christmas to all!

Happy Birthday Jimmy and Lizzie!

another late post! November 28,Elizabeth and Jimmy shared yet another Birthday! Lizzie Turned 12 and started YW's. Jimmy turned 9. Lizzie loves Horses and so we got her a 'day with horses' she did a trail ride and prepped the horses and truly had a great time! I don't have any pics of her on the horse as the batteries died. :{ jimmy opted for a game day at Howies game shack and pizza. Steve took the boys to that one! ;) But he refused to take pictures for me. grrrr. so all we have is their silly little birthday cakes on the actual birthday with family. oh well!

Wax Museum

At the Kids School, they are required to do a book report and memorize and recite a poem each grading period. They do their best to make the book reports fun for the kids by choosing 'themes' for them. I am so grateful that my kids enjoy reading, but it can still be a bear to get them to put the info down on paper sometimes! This last quarter, Lizzie's was Wax Museum. she had to read a biography, write the report, make a poster and then 'pose' as the person. As spectators, we were able to walk around the room, push a little button to make the person come to life and then they had a little speech prepared. I thought it was too much work, she had a blast. it ended up being pretty cool indeed. Elizabeth LaVon was Rosa Parks.

Updates

Although not as big as I had envisioned, I think we learned a nice lesson from this and we were all able to stop and remember all that we have been blessed with and all that we have been given. to say 'Thanks' for the big stuff can be easy, but being reminded of the small everyday things, was nice. it was a blessing to watch the tree gorw as the month went on as well. Ye another thing to be grateful for.
