Getting Christmas tree 2010


Yay! We picked up a Christmas tree! Dad told Jack that we could get one when he got home form work. Brad got home from work really close to bedtime. It was almost too late. So we drove to Smith's and picked one up. It took about 30 minutes. It wasn't the most idyllic way to get a tree, but it worked for us. Jack was super excited! And the tree was suprisingly fragrant!!

School Thanksgiving

The parents were invited to school for a Thanksgiving feast with the students. Jack was thrilled and a little bit moody from the excitement. In the lunchroom, we sat down by his favorite friend Brielle, and her parents who we love. Jack sat down by his new friend Abby and her mom. We were surprised because we had not heard of this new friend Abby. Because Jack was on the edge of a meltdown, we didn't force the issue. He sat with Abby and we sat with the Coopers. It was still a super fun experience. When Jack had to go to his clasroom for his lunchbag, he took Dad and they looked at Jack's cubby, and the Superstar board with super math and spelling on it. We had a great time!!

Dear Grandpa,

This is your birthday. I wish it was my birthday.

Love, Jack

Snowman

The first snow of the season had wet enough snow for easy snowman making. We made a snowman outside. Since it was almost time for bed and we weren't done admiring our snowman, we brought a little snowman inside and watched him melt. Our big outside snowman lasted almost a week! Jack was proud to show it to anyone who came by.
