A Thanksgiving weekend with no hoops?

We spent a quiet turkey week....thanks to Mom and Dad, we had a place to eat. And this year is our first year in a long long time that we have no basketball games that we have to run to all weekend long. Weird, but nice.

Bj won an award at school for demonstrating Eagle Pride....We got to go to a breakfast at his school in honor of the kids that won. It was nice. He is just a really good kid. He recently got a progress report.....3 A's and 3 B's. Cant argue with that.

Danielle had her first parent teacher conference for kindergarten. Mommy was NERVOUS. I have a tendency to worry about things....In case you hadn't heard. But to no surprise to Busia and Daddy, Danielle is doing very well.....I guess Mommy isn't surprised either, but really really relieved. Danielle has already met some of the end of the year goals for kindergarteners and will be being pulled into some smaller groups for more accomplished kids to learn some more new things. Danielle was described by her teacher, Mrs Allie, as shy and quiet. She also mentioned that she is afraid to let the teacher know that she knows an answer. Maybe I should invite Mrs Allie over.

Brian and Danielle put up the tree on Friday night while I did a little shopping. She was very proud of her work. You can see it in the background with some of her photos. She also made Super Bouncy Balls this weekend for a craft project. If you look really close, there are two of them in her hand.

Since the weather was soooooo nice, Brian put our lights on the house and hung up our wreaths. ( I caught a break on helping out this year....Danielle and I were out shopping,) We almost went to see Santa. At the last minute, one of us got cold feet. (Wasnt me...I was ready to ask for mommy to win the lottery) We settled on just looking at Santa from the top level of the mall. I told Danielle just to tell Santa from there what she wanted and that I was sure he would hear her.

Other than that....work continues for us here. All is well.
