Britney's New Ride

The other day we got a memo in Britney's agenda. It told us to bring her to the community center at 8:30 this morning. She would need her memo to get a ticket for a bike raffle. I am still sick, so Kevin said he would take her. When they got there, she got a ticket for the bike. Kevin was told she would be receiving a bike and not have to enter her ticket into the raffle! How cool is that? The kids got to choose which bike they wanted and were still going to be able to pick out another gift. The teachers from the area schools choose 1 student from each of their classes to go to these events. Britney was picked by her teacher. I think is nice the teacher thought of her. I think Britney felt special today too. Now all we need is some training wheels and she's got a new ride!

Chuck E Cheese

Here is a picture of Britney and her "boyfriend" Toby. Britney and I met up with him and his parents last Monday night. They recently moved to a different city and before they left, we exchanged phone numbers and addresses. Since Toby moved, all he talks about is Britney and how much he misses her. His mom called us Monday after school and invited us to Chuck E Cheese to celebrate Toby's 6th Birthday. It was just the 2 kids, me and his parents. His real party is tomorrow, but we won't be able to make it. The kids had fun and we will get together again during the Christmas Break. Toby is a sweet kid and Britney is so funny when she is around him. Young love. Gotta love it!

Christmas Decorating

We got our "real" tree on Saturday. In the past, we have had artificial ones. I didn't feel like getting it down from the attic and putting it together, so we gave in and got a real one. We set it all up and let it loosen up for the day/night. I went to work on Sunday and when I got home, Britney and I decorated it. It looks pretty good. I also decorated the bushes out front and I have a wreath with prelit lights on the door. I will be tying my big red bows on the carriage lights tomorrow.

We got some of our shopping started for the kids, so we are doing good!

I will probably go out this week and pick up a few more things. I need to buy a grab gift for my work party on Friday night too.

Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas...minus the snow!!
