Decorating for Christmas

The Saturday after Thanksgiving, Lauren and I decorated the house for Christmas.  It was a long day but we got it all done in one day.  Lauren helps more and more each year.  We are now ready for the Christmas time.

Colonial Day at Cherorkee

Colonial Day is a tradition at Cherokee.  All the 5th graders look forward to this day.  The students can either dress as a Native American or a Colonial person.  Lauren and I choose to be Native Americans.  I helped in the paper making area.  Lauren had a great day.  They went to 14 different activities and had so much fun.  I was soooo tired at the end of the day but I was so glad I got to be part of this fun day at school.

visit to Santa

We did a little Christmas shopping after church and stopped by to see Santa.  Lauren told me this might be her last time visiting the big guy.

Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving at Janine and Don's home.  It was a wonderful family time.  I am so thankful for my family, job, home, friends and most of all my beautiful daughter.

Cheer Competition 1

Lauren and her team had their first competition.  They did really well but they other teams did great also.  The coaches were so happy with their performance.  They will continue to get better and I am sure they will place better next time.

Cheer Showcase

Today was the Desert Storm showcase and all the teams did so good.  The competition season starts soon.   It will be a fun season.

Jacob's Make a Wish

On Saturday Jacob had his awarding party.  This is were the Make a Wish foundation comes out and has a party for Jacob and gives him his wish.  He and his family is going on a Disney Cruise next week.  I am so happy for him.  He is doing so good but all he has to go through each an every week, he so deserves this trip.  Have fun Jacob.
