Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello All!

We hope that you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Every year we are fortunate enough to have two! We had the best time at Monica's parents house and then we had one at our house with Troy's family. As always Monica went out into the world at 4:30 in the morning to do some shopping. She got plenty of good deals for our secret Santa family. Troy stayed home and watched the children. It has been so nice to have the children home this week. We have been able to do many things. Going to the Library, haircuts, watching the parade on TV, shopping. Its been a blast. Tomorrow they are off for one more day. We are just going to stay home :-)

Sadie and Spencer got fantastic report cards and outstanding Teacher conferences. We are so proud of their hard work.

Troy was so bummed that he didn't get to see the Utah BYU game but luckily Monica found a way and he saw the rebroadcast.

Sadie has finished the last of the Harry potter series. She read the entire book in a week!

Spencer has found a new series The 39 clues. Monica is even hooked on it. They are reading it together and then Sadie. Spencer, and Monica go on the computer to figure out clues.

Nicole is Nicole. Just as determined as ever. Her latest conquest was she sold her my little ponies for $75 on Craig's list and was able to purchase a vanity that she wanted. We listed it on a Thursday and Monday night she has $75 in her hand!

Bubba is talking up a storm and is too smart for his on good. When we left the library, I gave everyone some gum except for Bubba. He was so mad he started to yell and said with a deep yelling voice, "Mommy I want some gum! Give me gum!". It was so funny I started to laugh then all of a sudden he changed his voice and very sweetly said " That's not funny Mommy' it just not funny" Kid's say the darnedest things!

Well, good luck with those last minute purchases, for us we are done! Yeah!
