And so it begins...

The craziness of the holiday season is upon us already! This weekend has been busy with Generations and LG's birthday party. Plus (one of the best perks of my hubby's job and connections!) tomorrow afternoon we are going to see High School Musical:The Concert! We had thought about getting tickets to take SB, but they were really expensive so we decided not to. Yesterday, Mark got an email from someone he knows at the arena offering us FREE tickets. So, we're taking the three youngest kiddos and my mom. The kids are soooo excited! It is one of their favorite movies. I kind of like it too!

SB is getting ready for the Fiesta Bowl Cheer Competition next weekend. Her group came in 2nd place last year, but this year might not be as promising. Our school has not only a no pass/no play policy, but a policy whereby if you have anything below a 74% you cannot compete. Given that many schools, even those who say they have no pass/no play, usually don't enforce those policies, we are generally at a disadvantage in every sporting event. And we've got some girls who will not be going with us next weekend. So, while it will be a fun day, I'm not holding my breath for any major awards for our school this time.

Hope you all are happy and warm and healthy and enjoying this holiday season!
