Thanksgiving into December

Thanksgiving week:
Casey had games the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. I took the kids to watch for a bit. They hit the snacks hard and wandered a bit to much, but we got to see Daddy. The next day the Kendal and Peter went to practice with Casey in the morning while I took Alice to story time. After lunch Kendal had her well check. She's growing and doing good! I had spent the rest of my spare time baking that morning. After Alice's nap we went to Raft River. Brett, Vanessa, and their crew were there for Thanksgiving as well. The kids had fun with cousins and we had a nice Thanksgiving day! We were thinking about going to Logan to finish the weekend, but weather deterred us and the girls ended up sick Sat. / Sun. anyways. So we had a couple of lazy days at home (with a tiny bit of shopping in there) to finish out our week.

 

 

 

The kids got their Holiday jammies at the beginning of the month! The girls say Goodnight Deer and Pete's says Young Buck. They have deers and a buck on their shirts.

This past week Casey had three game days. His team only played  Tuesday, but he was assisting the Thursday and Saturday games. Because his team didn't play Thursday he still had to hold practice, which put it in the morning making for a long day. Kendal is nearing the end of her kya season. She had a few practices last week, missing one because it overlapped the other. Same thing with her games Saturday. She had a couple at the same time and had to pick. So we went to Hansen at 9 and 2 for Vipers games and came back in between for a KYA game. She lost the first and won the next two. She put in a lot of hard work and get feet are feeling it this week!

 


Kendal had her piano recital on Thursday. She's worked very hard on her piece (Silent Night). She did a great job and we're sad she's losing this teacher (Nancy) after the new year when she moves.

Peter just does his thing these days. School, hating homework, Legos, bugging sisters, etc. He got all positive points this past week at school! He's met his reading goal at school! I'll sign him up for Basketball this week and he'll start in January.
Peter just had to make a snowman last week before the snow left.

Alice is a ham lately with a growing picky side. (food, clothes, how her socks are, not wanting to ride in the cart or be next to mom at the store) She's growing into her own independent self which is a good and a bad thing all in one. Her imagination and pretend play are growing every day. It's so cute to see her jabbering away with her characters or often singing what she's doing! Alice also takes after Kendal with the amount of books she wants read and read and then read again.
