FHE

Last week after Family Home Evening Morgan asked if she would be able to do it next week. So on Sunday I helped her find and activity to do for FHE, she choose a Bingo game. So I got it all ready yesterday for her and all was good until she lost :( She had us do two rounds of just a bingo line and then wanted to go for blackout, well it all came down to one square that both she and Tom needed the samething to win. So then we thought that Addison and I would pick a number between 1 and 20, we picked 10 and they tied with their numbers choices, so then we picked another number and daddy happened to win that round. Needless, to say FHE was over, Morgan was ticked. (Maybe it would help to know that the winner of the game got the rest of the peanut butter M&M's as the prize.)

It just reminded me off all the times Mom and Dad said how hard FHE was sometimes. I am sure this is the first of many FHE's that are not going to turn out the way we planned. Thanks, Mom and Dad for doing FHE anyways.

Morgan's Africa Report

As most of you know Morgan had to do a report on Africa. We got lots of fun things to show her class from Nana and Papa. Papa even let us take the Big 5, I can't believe he let it out of the house. Morgan did so well, I filmed it on my camera but, it didn't turn out that well. So when she brings her poster home I will try it again. The only bummer about that is that it won't be the real thing. She remembered all the things that Nana had told her about the pictures that were on her poster board. She even remembered to tell her class that her Uncle Mark travels to the Ivory Coast a lot. I think she said that a couple of times. We are not proud of Uncle Mark at all. :) The kids really like the video of the elephant, they thought is was really funny when they heard Mark say "He's a beast!!" Morgan even wore her sweater from South Africa. Thanks, to all those that helped us out. We love you!!

"FIRST SLEDDING FOR ADDISON"

Boxing Day 2008!
This was Addison's first sledding experience with her big sister and cousins, Kaden and Olivia. The Hacketts, Lius and Arensaults were all there. What a great family activity. All the Wilsons were missing, "some of you" were basking in the sun and swimming in swimming pool in South Africa.
