A fire sale of old kits for Big Tree Cycling means that I now have a real kit, arm warmers, and socks. Look out world!
Santa!
We took the kids to visit Santa this evening. Laura asked for Copic markers, an extra-large sketch pad, and LEGO sets. John asked for Nerf guns (of course), LEGO sets, and Splatoon (a Wii U game). I am glad they gave Santa lots of choices! I was also amused to hear Santa ask if the LEGO sets that they wanted were expensive.
For the last two years, Bass Pro Shops has given free picture frames if you visit Santa on Mondays to Thursdays. I really like this year’s frame!
Sunday Night Dinner
We started a new tradition about a month ago – Sunday night dinners at our dining room table. I love it!
Cookie Baking!
It is Christmas Cookie baking day! We are making Grandma Vi’s Oleo Cookies, Gingerbread Cookies, and Andes Mints Cookie Bars. We will not get them all baked today because we started late and two of the doughs have to chill, but the kids and I are still having fun!
POTD Time!
It is “Picture of the Day” time. Stop watching television and smile for 30 seconds…
Christmas Cards
The Kassel Family Christmas cards are in the mail!
Withrow Electric Shockers
It is getting real. Competitive baseball, here we come! John will be playing for the Withrow Electric Shockers in the spring.
To say he (and Andy and I) are both apprehensive and excited is an understatement. Tonight, the team met at Shakespeare’s West for a meet and greet. John already has played with about half of the team. It took John a little bit of time to get comfortable, but he was good by the end. We are looking forward to a fun and challenging next year!
