Our Anniversary & Other Doings...
Our 9th anniversary was on November 28th. We celebrated with the whole family. Partly because it was on a Wednesday and partly because Trevor was ill. We wanted fondue so we went to Crate and Barrel and bought a fondue pot. Once we realized how much work would go into it, we decided to just go out! We hit The Melting Pot and boy were we glad we did! They had a promotion going that was just great. If you bought a $100 gift certificate (that could be used that evening) they'd give you 4 $25 vouchers to use during the year! We ended up doing that and got a *free* meal for our anniversary! It was nice because the kids got a few things for them, so we didn't have to share our fondue!!! The kids had a great time "cooking" and dipping their food. If you ask them now who wants to go, they all say "me, me, me, me, me!!!" Nathan- I love you so much. It's been a wonderful 13 years, 8 months and 20 days! You've always treated me with so much kindness, respect and love. You make me feel special and I wouldn't be me without you!
On Friday, November 20th Kassi had another 6 weeks awards assembly. She was on the "A" honor roll, again! You'd be a little surprised what it takes from a first grader to make it on the "A" list! Good job, J! That same day, Trevor had his Fall Carnival at Kinkeade. Nathan, Ashlee and I went to help out. We took groups of kids around the school to enjoy all of the activities. Trevor was in my group. The kids had a fun time. Let me tell you, Ashlee can hold her own with the "big kids!" Her attitude goes a long way when it comes to playing with bigger children!
The next day, Saturday December 1st, was a busy day. The kids had a nursery/primary activity in the morning. Then Kassi had a dance rehearsal in the afternoon - dance things always go long! (the picture is at the rehearsal) I was busy running to all of the activities and trying to put together costumes the rest of the day. Then that evening was the Ward Christmas party. Kassi and Trevor were involved in the Nativity scene (hence, the costume making). Kassi was an angel and Trevor was a sheep. They did very well in their parts! They looked so cute, too!
The next day, Kassi danced in the Nutcracker Suite party that her dance academy put on. There were little tributes to the dances that are done in The Nutcracker. Kassi's class did the Chinese Tea dance. She looked so cute. Of course, we forgot our camera. They had the story of The Nutcracker read by a story teller, and to put it mildly, Trevor is obsessed with Nutcrackers. He loves to look at them and for a week straight, begs to buy any nutcracker that he sees. The crazy things kids latch onto!!!
Nathan had a WIPS (Work In Progress Seminar) that he had to do on Monday. He worked many hours on compiling all of his data and finishing up experiments. He did very well. He got a lot of compliments from his superiors! That's always nice! He's looking into finishing up a few more projects and he's pretty much ready to start writing his paper. His estimated date for graduating from Graduate school is this next June or July. Go Nathan!
This last Wednesday, Trevor had a field trip. They asked me to come and help chaperone. I happily agreed! We went into Fort Worth to the Casa Manana theater and watched "Frosty the Snow Man." It was fun for the kids. After the play we headed back to Running Bear park and had lunch. The kids enjoyed the nice weather and got to play on the toys for close to an hour! Nathan had been watching Ashlee at home, so they came to the park to join the fun! Like I said, Ashlee can hold her own with the big kids! The only time she got a little upset was when her finger got stepped on by the slide. Other than that, you'd have thought she was a preschooler!
Later that night, Ashlee went potty on the big girl potty for the first time! Yea, Ashlee! She got a princess cell phone that she picked out weeks ago. She was very excited! When we got everyone ready for bed, we discovered that Trevor had a fever. He wasn't acting too sick, but as the night progressed, so did his temperature. He's still running a 103.6 fever so I'm sure we'll be off to the doctor's office tomorrow. Trevor's also fallen in love with the Be Kool patches. His fever is staying high and he's loving the relief they bring. We used these last year and loved them. Now, Trev's addicted to them!
On Thursday, Mommy and Ashlee got our hair cut. This was Ashlee's first cut and she did okay. She didn't move too much but her face did show her true feelings! hee, hee!
Like I said, Trevor's been ill but we've gotten some things done around here. We finally got our lights up outside and we're doing the tree today. We made salt dough ornaments and the kids got to paint them this afternoon. As soon as they're dry, they'll get to hang them on the kids' tree in the family room!
