Family Fun

O Christmas Tree

Our poor Tree. It has had a rough 10 years. This will officailly be the last year for our dear tree. We decided to change it up a bit this year being its last and sprayed it with "snow". The kids really liked that. They wanted to spray the whole house with it. We also let the kids do all the decorating without changing it up. Wherever they put them, we left them. They did a pretty good job. You can notice Haydens line of ornaments on the bottom, but I like it. I enjoy seeing their happy smiles. We are definitely in the Christmas spirit.

The girls worked on homework and Hayden played baseball :)

T-Kids baby Jesus

Wednesday at T-Kids Hayden made a special baby Jesus. He was so proud of it. He has it sitting in his room as we speak.

Hayden also said his bible verse for his teachers this week and got to get a "treasure" out of the chest. He was so proud of himself and so was I. I didn't think he was going to say it when I dropped him off, but when I went to pick him up, sure enough he had. Yeah Hayden.

Hayden's Buddy

Thanksgiving Lunch

Hayden playing "boy" games with AJ across at the next table.. those two are crazy together

Hayden and Brayden

Hiding from Mrs. Dawn. He decided he didnt want his picture taken on this particular day. My camera had something on the lens :(

Hayden had a Thanksgiving lunch at school, and all the parents were invited to come eat with them. I am glad I was able to go. I was actually scheduled to be two places at once. Thankfully a friend subbed for me at hannahs school... I am a reading buddy on Thursdays. Hayden and the other boys in his class are nuts. It is a small classroom, so I wasnt able to get everyone in the picture like I wanted to. Hayden and AJ were being silly. They were making animal noises... appropriate? NO, but no one else seemed to mind. It was a bit hard to stop when everyone else was doing it. All the boys decided they didn't want Mrs. Dawn to take their pictures, so they would hide their face with their napkins. Of course, little Hannah gave mrs. Dawn her huge precious smile. She is adorable. She can sure handle being in a class with all boys as well. :) I am glad I got to share this day with my little man. Love you Hayden, and I am thankful for all the special times I get to spend with you.

Volleyball

Out of order, but on November 20th, Hailey had her Volleyball tournament, and the girls did awesome. I was so proud of their team. They only lost to ONE team - twice! Their record was 9-2. Coach Fornier gave them their trophys after their final game in the tournament. Then we went to McDonalds and two other girls on her team joined us. The girls got some ice cream and played for a while. It was a great season and we are looking forward to playing again in the spring. We are going to try to keep some of the team together. We will see what we can do. Our best player was 10 so she will be moving up in the league :( but that is ok. We will miss you Kenna. Way to go Lady Spikers.
