Ben wins spelling bee!

Benjamin won the fourth grade spelling bee today! He won with the word "emphasize". He is very excited and we are excited for him. Next step is the school spelling bee. He'll compete against 5th & 6th graders. Go Benjamin!

Busy December

Busy day so far... Woke at 5:30 with baby. I headed to costco for a work "party" then off to Benjamin's soccer game. After the game we headed to Target for some light Christmas shopping and then home to pack Christmas packages that will soon be headed East. Cleaned the house, made some cookies and now I am about to get ready for a Christmas dinner party. I love December!!!

Ho ho Hello Santa!

Nicholas met St. Nicholas tonight. Big accomplishment getting him to sit on Santa's lap tonight. He understands that Santa is part of Christmas and recognizes him in the decor. He likes to say "ho ho ho" but he was apprehensive and it took about 15 minutes to warm up. No tears but you can see his concern.

Check out Nicholas' awesome Christmas sweater hand made by Grammy! We love it! Thanks Grammy.
