Thanksgiving

Happy day after Thanksgiving to everybody! We had a get together yesterday at Donna and Mom's and took some family pictures. Steve's daughter and family are visiting from Missouri this weekend and baby James is getting big. We got our Christmas card photo done but I will keep it secret till we mail it out. We also managed to get a group shot of the families and you wouldn't think it would be that difficult but men and teenagers are not that easy of subjects. I hope everybody had a great Thanksgiving.

60th birthday

My mom just had her 60th birthday and we celebrated on Sunday. For anyone who doesn't know my mom she has had a rough time lately. She spent months trying to get a diagnoses on a skin disease that was really hard for her to deal with. The good news is she finally found out what it was and is getting proper treatment. This birthday was an important day. We also took the opportunity to get a picture of the grandkids together. They are not easy to catch all in one place.

Honor Society

Stephany had a big night on Tuesday, she was inducted into National Honor Society. We are very proud of her because this is not an easy task. They must have and maintain a 93 average in all their classes and of course never had been in detention. She does all this while taking advanced placement classes, being a posse member, debate club and 2010 club plus she works 10 hours a week. This kid stays busy but the good news is that leaves little time for boys. Great job Steph!

Halloween

We celebrated Halloween a little different this year. We did a very short trick or treat stint and then off to the football game. The game was great until the second half then it just went downhill but we are still glad we went. Chris only has one more game as a highschooler so we really don't want to miss any.

The twins dressed up for TOT and Steph did for school. Matt was an ancient wise man, Ally was a pirate and Steph was a rockstar.
