Gingerbread Houses

Yesterday we made our annual gingerbread houses. I found a plastic house kit that Cason can use and not get glutened. Plus, it is reusable!! Cason made the house and Emory the dog house (Lucy's). Eli is all about Paw Patrol so he made a house for Chase, Marshall, and Rubble. They all did a great job! 

Christmas Parade

Last Saturday we went to the Christmas parade downtown. This years theme was Christmas movies and it was my favorite theme in a while, maybe even ever! The kids all had a great time! 

Eli was cracking us up. Each time a float went by he would say, "Well that's something you don't see every day!"

Christmas Lights

 Bradley and the kids worked hard putting up the Christmas lights right after Thanksgiving! 

Turkey Trot

Thanksgiving morning we headed to Pecan Park for the Turkey Trot. 

The kids and Lucy ran the 1K

Thanksgiving Eve Fishing Fun

The Wednesday before Thanksgiving we spent the day fishing in Crockett. The kids all had a blast. We caught tons of perch, 2 bass, several tree limbs and Cason and Cameron each caught a tree. 

 Maddie's first fish of the day! 

 Lucy fished a little too!

 Paw Paw caught a pretty good size bass. 

 Emory's first fish! 

 Eli's first fish!

 Maddie's bass!

5th & 1st Colonial Day

Emory has been learning about the colonial period this year at school. Before Thanksgiving break 5th grade hosted the first Thanksgiving and invited the 1st grade natives to come for lunch. 

After feasting with the natives, 5th grade practice their colonial skills and churned butter, made corn husk dolls, and learned to weave by making pot holders. Emory loved every second! 

3rd Grade's Greek Feast

A couple of weeks ago Cason's class had their Greek Feast. They have been learning about ancient Greece and the Greek gods and goddesses. 

Cason did his Greek project on Hades, which consisted of dressing up as Hades and giving a presentation. 

Welcome to Ancient Greece!

After the feast the class played games and answered trivia questions. The first group to make it to the top of Mount Olympus won golden trophy's (AKA plungers). Cason's group won!
