TRAVELING IN STYLE




Stephanie was traveling in style on Saturday when a limousine picked her up to go to Annie Powell's 5th birthday party in Modesto! She was super excited about riding in the limo, but told me that she was "a little shy" on the ride to the Ice Cream Factory.

GUESS WHAT'S NEW AT OUR HOUSE???

T'WAS ONE CRAZY NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

Amanda and Daniel participated in another great musical through Hickman Charter. It was called "T'was One Crazy Night Before Christmas". It was a funny spin-off of the popular children's story. The show was very upbeat and high-energy.

We are very excited that the kids have so many wonderful opportunities to develop their talents. Way to go, Amanda and Daniel!

Daniel sang a solo called "Something To Believe In". He did an amazing job! He enjoys performing with the choir and has a great voice. Way to go, Daniel! We are very proud of you!

PARTYING WITH THE PATTEN'S



Doug Patten taught the kids a new version of checkers. The winner was the first person to lose all of their checkers. It was trickier than one might think!



Martha and Laura in their festive Thanksgiving attire. Yes, the plate of yams is sitting in front of Laura, but don't be fooled! Again this year, she declined to even sample the marshmallow-covered yams! YUCK!!! (Sorry Martha! Nothing personal)



Martha and Rachel burn off a few holiday calories on the dance mat. It was a real spectator sport for the rest of us.



Stephanie and Daniel Patten had their own way of exercising. They played "tickle tag".



Sarah, Doug, and Stephanie are stuffed, little turkeys after our Thanksgiving feast.
