That's a lot of flour....

I went into the office to talk on the phone. Six minutes later, Paige ran in and said, "Mom! There's an emergency!!" She was right. Douglas pried the lid off of the flour container and was having a great time.

Happy Birthday, James!

Today is James' birthday! He went paintballing this morning (while we had a basketball game, a birthday party, and the Nutcracker), and then we went to Outback for dinner. He's not a big cake fan, so he got a chocolate pudding pie for his birthday!


The Nutcracker



The girls' dance studio does a performance of the Nutcracker every year and we went to see it this afternoon. They loved it (though Ashley did comment that there was way more to the story than that and she wanted it to be longer and more like the book...). They weren't in it, but you can bet that Paige has the part she wants to be next year all picked out!

Student of the Month!

Ashley was chosen as student of the month for December! The word of the month is kindness and she was chosen by her teacher and her classmates as the student who best represents that trait. I'm so proud of her. She really is kind to the other kids in her class and works hard to make sure that everyone is included when they're playing.
