Well I don't write all time because most days it's the same old thing. Ground hog day over and over, not that I mind that, that's what I love. We have been slowly getting ready for Christmas. Last week was spent in the kids' classrooms helping the teachers and attending parties, thankfully it's all over. Some fun things that happened to us over the weekend is Taylor and Ashlynn had their first piano receital. They were both so nervous. I think Taylor handled her nerves better than Ashlynn. They both played great. I unfortunately forgot the camera at the "real" receital so I made them play it agagin for me at home. Ashlynn goofed once at the receital and Taylor had a little mistake but I don't think anyone noticed but me since I heard it non-stop all week. I love to play the piano, but when I had my receitals I could never get over my nerves and my fingers stilled fumbled. On Friday Cade had his last basketball practice for the season and they played the kids against the dads, it was fun to watch and Cade and Rusty said they had a fun time playing. Cade had his last game on Saturday and he did well. He had 2 baskets, and a few steals. The coach asked Rusty to help coach next season. It's a pretty good team, they won 4 games and lost 2. Cade gets better and better every game. At the first of the month we had a Family Home Evening and watched the first presidency message. After that wonderful thing we managed to ruin it by drawing names and Cade and Taylor complained about who they had to buy for and who was buying them a gift. I was shocked, little turds. So as their punishment and before they could participate in this they had to write a page paper on the "REAL" meaning of Christmas. It was fun to read their papers and they knew what the real meaning was. I was just surprised that they were acting that way, ahh kids. Thankfully they have been better and Cade without telling him too, went and bought all the girls a Christmas gift. He did great he even got them on sale. Anyway, that is all for know, I'm sure I'll have Christmas stories to tell soon.
