We got in our holiday decorating before the crazy season starts! Christmas tree up, nativity set up, December calendar put together - DONE! The boys helped with the tree and Ashton did both the calendar and the nativity this year! He may be the best elf ever!
We celebrated Thanksgiving with the Hubbards and enjoyed loads of food! We did our yearly trip to the movies later in the evening. It was a fun and relaxing holiday!

Since I started teaching at Trinity in August, we've been working on our holiday musical. Last week, all grades 1-6 gathered together in groups to practice everything we've learned so far (8 songs). My teaching partner, Jennifer, ran the rehearsal. I got to wear my Trinity gear, support her and be a part of the school-wide photo! Our performance will be December 14th.  |

I got home just in time to help celebrate Derrik! The boys made him a nice card and he and I went to dinner out. He had great birthday and got three, THREE celebrations! One with just me, one with me and the boys and one with the parents. Here's to the best year yet!

Derrik and I helped at the Rampage marching band competition last weekend! We moved some props on and off the field and also helped assemble and disassemble them to be stored. One of the benefits of helping out is that you get field position for band photos! 
Cameron, Derrik and I headed to L.A. to see NeedtoBreathe in concert! Such a fun night!
Halloween this year looked so different! Just one trick-or-treater: Ashton! Ethan had to work, Cameron went to a friends house to hang out and Ashton and I headed down the hill with some of his friends to trick-or-treat. He reused his mime costume from last year. Fun night, but so different than years past!
