Going Through Life One Blog Post at a Time
First, John had his first basketball practice for Upward Basketball League.
Besides practice, he received his uniform today. Games start January 23!
Then, Laura had the Girl Scout Cookie Rally. Cookie sales start January 8!!!
Finally, John had a Cub Scout Den meeting where he made a bird house out of recyclable materials (think Goldfish box) and listened to a veteran talk about being in the military. It was a busy, but fun, activity-filled Sunday!
It was pizza and movie night (without John because he was at a sleepover) at the Kassel Household. We made homemade pizzas. Laura got to make her own with nothing but black olives.
Andy and I were a bit more adventurous with our toppings – pepperoni, Italian sausage, black olives, tomatoes, and red onions. It was yummy, yummy pizza!
After dinner, we watched “Jurassic World.” Laura was only scared in a few parts and loved the movie. It was a fun, relaxing night.
Since we had time when we got home before our “new” year, we got some sparkling grape juice out for the kids and champagne out for Andy and I.
We counted down until midnight and did a New Year’s toast with our kids.
Happy New Year! Here is to hoping everyone has a great 2016!
We rang in the “new” year at the Dothages with great friends. The kids had a fantastic time playing and the adults hung out, watched football, played card games, and chatted. Most of the adults were tired so we celebrated the Eastern Standard Time new year. We watched the ball drop and then headed for home. It was a fun, relaxing evening. Exactly as it should be!
We woke up to snow!
It was an evening of Father-Son time and Mom-Daughter time. Andy took John to the Mizzou Men’s Basketball game and they got to watch a Mizzou win.
Laura and I stayed home and snuggled in to watch “The LEGO Movie.” Everything is awesome….
…for the Force to awaken!
It was a family outing to see “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” today. It was a great movie and we all loved it!
