My Little Shepherd

Jacob played a shepherd in our church's Christmas program. He did a great job but was a little nervous! Jordan was the stage manager and did a great job too!

Nice List !

The kids received Letters from Santa last week. I think I had our realty company (when we sold our house in June) send them to the boys but I'm not 100% sure! Jordan doesn't believe in Santa anymore but plays along for Jacob. He was a little stumped when he received the letter, especially when he asked if I knew where they came from and I was not sure! The magic lives on in him a little I think, especially after getting this letter! So both of my kids are on the Nice List this year, I definitely think they deserve it, they've been pretty good! Today is their last day of school and they are ready for Christmas break- I think I am too!

IU vs UK

Our Hoosiers finally beat the Wildcats!!! We snuggled up at home last Saturday and watched the Indiana Hoosiers and Kentucky Wildcats battle it out in Bloomington at Assembly Hall. The house shook with excitement as our Hoosiers took the lead and maintained the lead throughout most of the game. Towards the end, they gave Kentucky the lead but at the last second (literally) Christian Watford made the winning basket and we beat the Wildcats by 1 point! My guys went wild! The Hoosiers are finally back!

O' Fake Christmas Tree

This year, we opted for a fake tree because we are living with my parents. They have hard wood floors in their living and we didn't want to take a chance on ruining them. Funny thing is, we are planning on putting them in our living room once our home is built but it's different when it's your own floors-lol! I was not happy with the decision my husband made but it's not about the tree! I had to learn that this year, traditions don't make Christmas! I am still sad every time I look at the FAKE tree but I quickly return to thoughts of thankfulness and move on!

Loge Wildcat Basketball '11-'12

Jordan got to finally play basketball for Loge! He was so excited to finally be a true Wildcat! He attended a week of try outs and made the A team! We are so proud of him! Next year, he will be in middle school, I seriously have no idea where the time has gone!
