SHHHH.....

Kids don't know...



So, Caleb's coach cancelled their Canada trip due to team injuries. He said it was the hardest decision he's ever had to make short of cutting a player. The kids are really bummed, but I know it's for the best, and I'm glad because Caleb is one of the injured - his shoulder. Anyway, my standard response to Caleb when he asks what he's getting for Christmas has always been, "You're going to Canada!"
Now that they're not - he has no gifts!!  So, I jumped at the chance to get this table. It was on sale at Sam's. I know both kids will be thrilled.

Pre Holiday Happiness

Hello everybody! 
I really wish I was better at this and could change my background, but alas, I am not.
Just a few pictures today. I'll post again after the holidays...



This should be the dining room, but I never got a table and the space has been nice for lots of different things. Caleb uses it for stick-handling practice and Emily for front and back walkovers (which are coming along nicely)





Emily's dance company performed at our first annual, downtown Festival of the Trees.




Emily and Samarah pose with freaky snowman dude - he scared the little kids :(
Maybe if he was rounder...?




Aurora Dance Ensamble in the back
(Em is just left of Santa)
Pre-ensamble in the front




These are the pajama pant bottoms that Emily made in Home Ec class this year. 
She received extra credit for wearing them to school on Friday. They are very cute and fit perfectly.
She was the only one who got it because she was the only one who was finished, and yet she has a C in the class... Ugh! Go figure!


Caleb? yes, he still exists! Hockey and school, that's his life. Doing very well in both!
His claim to fame this year, so far, is that he's the only player who's played in every JV and Varsity game. Pretty cool. He really doesn't like to take pictures :)

Love you all!
