Can you believe my mocking boys (or should I say...mocking husband) sent me this picture today?  Haha they are sooo funny. I was jealous that I wasn't there with them.  

 We spent some quality time working on our Personal Progress, Scouts, and Faith in God.

 After the big game, Jim and the boys flew to southern California for The High Rollers Lacrosse event.

As I woke up to snow everywhere, I received this picture of the boys in the sunshine.

They both played great.

Tonight I spent the evening with my high school friends and their husbands as we planned our annual Christmas Party.  Always a good time.

The BIG GAME!

Not so big results.  Our team lost 39-0

I felt bad for the boys who played their last game but they all had a great season and accomplished a lot for a second year school!

A little pre-game good luck decorating.

The girls helped me decorate Z's room for his big game tomorrow.

He came home early and we were not done yet, so we sent him upstairs for a bit.  BUSTED!

three hundred sixteen

I like when my friends have birthday get togethers.

A couple of our "Waldo" characters for our Where's Waldo joint YM/YW activity at the mall.  It was fun to see three of my children participating.  Jim and the two littles were also Waldos.  A fun evening and M even came home with a new pair of jeans.

three hundred fourteen

The newest additions to our home.  Grandma Hansen and my mom's antique chair that was in her home growing up and in mine.  I feel so honored and lucky. (I had to fight a little for the chair, sorry Gary)

Kass and I helped my mom move all of her things to new locations as she is down sizing.  After our hard work, we celebrated at Leatherbys...or course.

Waiting for the Tomanys to arrive.  The camera light was too bright.
