John is officially a Tiger Cub! His Den was recognized this evening at the Cub Scout Pack meeting for earning their Bobcat badge. He was very proud to receive his Tiger Cub Immediate Recognition Emblem along with five earned beads. Great job Den 8 and John!
This is the bedding for the bunk beds along with a matching pet bed for “The Girls” – otherwise known as Laura’s American Girl dolls – that Laura will be receiving for Christmas from Santa Claus. I wanted to set up the whole thing to take the picture, but the bedding and bunk beds came wrapped with stickers that say “Created with Love by Santa’s Helper for Someone Special”. I was able to get the bedding out and then put it away easily, but I didn’t want to chance the beds. It is so beautiful and Laura is going to love it!!!
International Girl’s Day is one of Laura’s favorite Girl Scout events each year. As with year’s past, she had a great time at the MU Kappa Delta house exploring different cultures. Laura especially loved her Kappa Delta guide and really enjoyed hanging out with her for two hours. Laura got to make crafts, have fun in the photo booth, watch a fashion show, eat “yummy” cupcakes, and add stickers for each country to her “passport.” Laura was sad that the “time went sooooo fast,” and she declared, “I can’t wait until next year!”
It was a night out for all the Kassels. Laura and John went to the Activity and Recreation Center (ARC) for the annual Camp Mudd Reunion. The kids were very excited to see all their counselors and friends from camp this past summer and to have the run of the ARC, including the awesome swimming pool, for the evening. Since the kids were busy, we took the opportunity to go to dinner and watch Mizzou Football with the Dothages. We went to Rio Grande for dinner and then on to Truman’s to watch the rest of the game. What a fun, great evening filled with great friends, good food, drinks, and relaxation.
While their big sisters were at a Brownie meeting, the Creech boys – Wilson and Jackson – came to play! The boys had a great time!
