Happily Hosting Thanksgiving with my folks.

Thanksgiving was great. I felt the support of my parents as they helped make meals and decorate for our dinner. The kids loved playing Just Dance 4 and relaxing off school for a week. It is a great thing to be together. We enjoyed shopping at DI and Tuesday Morning. The kids sure enjoyed our 711 stops and Spencer wanted to come in each of the stores. Spencer was a good boy that week with the Grandparents here. He took naps and went for rides and played in his room. He was excited to get back in the groove of his school routine though. I'm so happy he has been sleeping through the night so well and holding back his frustration(acting out) a little better lately.

Emmy, Mom and Dad, and I went shopping for Black Friday. We were surprised and pleased to get a free Disney mickey snow globe at JC Pennies and a ten dollar gift card at Dimple Records. Getting good deals makes me happy. The kids loved wrapping gifts for their siblings too. They begged me to wrap the presents.Joseph can't wait for Christmas even more so than Celia, it's cute. Grandma decorated our Christmas tree this year. She gets a A grade for decorating. Speaking of Grades Emmy with the help of Andrew finished her roller coaster project for honors physics. It worked featuring a 360, hill, loop, and funnel event for a marble to pass through. I'm glad Emmy could get that great help from Andrew. Celia earned a trophy from me from having great behavior at school an d being nice to her friends.. She was pretty happy to earn it and was glad she received her first trophy! That makes for a good start of being nice for December.:)
