Parker - I went on a scout camp out from Friday - Saturday.  It was a lot of fun.  We slept under the stars and went fishing.  We had our Christmas piano recital on Friday.  It went well.  I played my songs pretty good.  I had my first basketball game for YM.  We won by 19 and I got a rebound.  On Sunday I passed the sacrament for the first time.  I was nervous but I did OK.

Conner - There is one more week of school.  We're going to buy a Wii on the 29th.  We had our piano recital on Friday.  I did pretty good.

Calissa - Conner and Ellie and I spilled Lemonade on the floor in Mrs. Smith's class today after school.  I'm selling cards to  buy an animal to help take care of a family in another country.  I have $18 already.  I lost my first tooth last week.

Dad - I'm old!  We lost all of our basketball games so far this year.  One more week of seminary till the Christmas break.

Mom - I've been busy subbing for Mrs. Evans.  I've been busy trying to get ready for Christmas in my shortened spare time.  But, I've really enjoyed spending time in the classroom.

Yikes ... it's been a long time since we've had a formal FHE!

Calissa - I went to Kaitlyn's holiday party on Saturday.  We went to the temple and saw the Christmas lights, some statues, and a show with Jennie in it.  We went to Disney World.  My favorite ride was Splash Mountain.

Conner - My favorite ride was Mission Space.  It was really fun because you blast off to Mars.  Parker had his birthday party on Friday Night.  It's Christmas season and we just about have all of our stuff done.  My soccer team took 2nd place.

Parker - My favorite park was EPCOT.  My favorite ride was Test Track.  For soccer, my team came in first and advanced to the regionals.  We lost 4-1, 5-1, & 7-2. We have enough money to buy a Wii.  I had my birthday parry on Friday.  It was lots of fun.  We watched "Journey to the Center of the Earth" in 3D.  We played tag outside in the dark.  On Sunday I was ordained a deacon.  I can pass the sacrament now.  It was very special.

Mom - Lots has happened in hte last two months.  We had bookfair, our trip to Disney World, subbing, and getting ready for the Christmas recital on Friday.  Lots of busy times, but lots of fun!  We're getting ready for Christmas.  (PS - Disney World was fun!)

Dad - Our softball team came in 1st place this season. My favorite ride at Disney World was the Rockin' Roller-coaster at Hollywood Studios.  It's hard to believe that Parker is 12!
