With money William received from Uncle Michael and Uncle John, he bought a Spongebob tent bed. He is so excited for bedtime. That's a first! We'll see how long it lasts. :)

Christmas Party
Friday was Jacob's Christmas party at school. Since I celebrated Thanksgiving with William, I decided to celebrate Christmas with Jacob. It was fun even though I had a horrible headache. Mrs. Allard said the kids were so excited about the party. There danced and ate lots of sugary treats. They even managed to play a few games of "Heads Up 7-Up" - one of my all time favorites for sure!
Jacob's looks a little frightened here. Turns out he was plus he told me afterwards she kinda pinched his arm. Didn't impact the party though. He still managed to have a great time!

Christmas Trains
Wednesday evening we tried to make chocolate suckers, but that didn't go so well. The kit we bought didn't have enough chocolate and it was super messy. So last night, we made rice crispy trains, and it went much smoother.
We had enough so the kids could each make their own. While I melted the marshmallows, they drew pictures so they we have a design plan. They are too funny.

Friday Night Fun
Not sure why, but William decided to try on my shoes. He's such a silly boy. I can always count on him to make me laugh. Despite the technical difficulties I was having with my camera, I managed to get a few good shots.

Cute Hockey Players
Jacob is focused on the game and William is focused on being a goof. Typical.
This week they have two games. Last night was the first and the next one is on Thursday. I've really enjoyed watching them play. It's so much fun, and they are having a great time too!

King gets a Blue Ribbon
Yesterday, Jacob's school was presented with an award for being a Blue Ribbon School.
"The Blue Ribbon Schools Program honors public and private elementary, middle, and high schools that are either high performing or have improved student achievement to high levels, especially among disadvantaged students. The program is part of a larger Department of Education effort to identify and disseminate knowledge about best school leadership and teaching practices. Each year since 1982, the U.S. Department of Education has sought out schools where students attain and maintain high academic goals, including those that beat the odds."
