Award and a Driver!

Heidi had her end-of-the-year volleyball banquet and she won defensive player of the year! We are proud of her!

On top of winning her award - Heidi took the permit exam and PASSED! She can now officially begin learning to drive. In Ohio, you only get 6 months, but she is begging to go driving as often as possible!

We finished decorating for Christmas and ended with the infamous Disney tree! 

We were able to catch up with neighbors and did a craft project :) It was fun to hang out and entertaining to watch dads with a glue gun, levels, and many opinions on how to get a stack of cans to stay. 

I also attended one of Nicholas' hockey games and catch up with the Belcik family. 

Christmas is coming fast! Now it's time to wrap presents and prep our house!

 

Regular Weekend

It's starting to look like Christmas! We had ZERO plans this weekend, which was great. I managed to get Christmas shopping done, we are 90% decorated - just one more tree to do and even the elf returned. Just a few weeks left of school and it is Christmas!

St. Jude has a living elf (aka Mick the maintenance man) that visits the kids in the morning. It is hilarious to see a grown man - in an elf costume - perched on the roof. 

Heidi has a birthday party for a friend, so the rest of us went to dinner...

You have to love picking up a teenager from a sleepover... they all slept in until 11am...

Lucy providing modeling for potential presents...

Chris and Lucy went to Nicholas' hockey game too!

This week club volleyball starts again - it has bee a nice break for sure - plus it gave Heidi time to heal. Then it is more prep for the holidays!
