The weekend before Thanksgiving we enjoyed watching Get Smart, the fall production at the high school. Madison had been working hard on stage crew getting things ready. She had the fun job of picking out costumes for the show – a job she really enjoyed. The play was fun to watch.
Jen and Arturo came to hang out before Thanksgiving. They arrived on Saturday night after the play and stayed til Thanksgiving morning. We did a number of things together, but one of the reasons they came back at this time, was to watch Wicked 2 in the theater. It was a great second part – a bit darker than the first one, but good.
Ellie has a teacher that is a self-proclaimed Grinch (Mr. Crawford, math teacher), so she and some friends conspired to decorate his room secretly for Christmas. I got permission from the principal, and let them go at it over Thanksgiving break.
The church hosted a “Deck the Halls” night to work on decorating the church as a group. There was a decent group that showed up to put up and decorate the various trees. Afterwards, we enjoyed hot chocolate and popcorn while we watched the new The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, a more touching movie than I remembered, but a book that I have always loved!
Ellie was invited to go ice skating for her friend’s birthday party. She had a lot fun skating around the rink. Then, they had a sleepover afterwards.
Ellie also received a postcard from her teachers in the mail commending her work as a student.
And there is Pepper.
