Happenings the Month of December

Benjamin celebrated his 12th birthday this month. I can't believe little 'ole Ben is 12. He requested an Angel Food Cake with chocolate syrup. He continues to be a great example in our family - patient, kind, always looking for a way to solve a problem INSTEAD of arguing... he's the BEST!

He received this crazy book from his grandparents... I'm afraid to leave him alone at home (i.e. babysitting)!

Totally Irresponsible Science Experiments

Nicholas had a Christmas Banquet with the Eagle Gymnastics Team. During this yearly banquet they hand out awards. Last year Nick received the Soldier Award... and was also nominated for the Beast Award. The Soldier Award is given to the gymnast who obeys nearly everything the coaches say; the Beast Award is given to the gymnast who improves their strength through the year.


This year he was nominated for the Beast Award and the Rock Award. The Rock Award is given to the gymnast who is fearless. He did not receive either of the awards this year. But, he did receive the Golden Eagle Leadership Award. This award is given to the gymnast who is setting a good example and to whom the boys look to as a leader.





Zach has been playing basketball the past few weeks. He is on the Outlaws team. Last game, he scored the last point of the game! Though the team lost, they seem to be improving each game.
