The Christmas Tree

The kids decorated it all by themselves, you can tell because the ornaments are only on the bottom half, but they had so much fun!

Thanksgiving

We had a really nice Thanksgiving. Matt was here for 10 days and my Grandma was here for a little while too. It was really good to see both of them, and Matt only has about 3 1/2 weeks left in Chicago, so we did the long part (7 weeks) already.

Mikelle's Award, the First Snow, and other misc.

On November 5th, we had the first snow of the season. It barely covered the grass, but the kids loved it.



Halloween costumes were 75% off at Walmart, so we picked this up for $4

Mikelle entered a drawing into the Reflections Contest at her elementary school. She won a ribbon and we went to her award ceremony tonight. She was pretty excited about it and proud of her drawing.



Mikelle is champion of the week this week at school and she had to make a poster about her. This is her poster.
