Thanksgiving Week

Glen had 3 one-act plays on Monday. Andrew came home from college late Tuesday night. Turkey + all the fixings + family on Thursday. Games + leftovers + family + friends on Friday. Early birthday celebration for me on Saturday (Andrew was here, we have low delayed gratification skills, and everyone wanted to play with my birthday gift the Kindle Touch, so we had cake and ice cream for me--thanks Calista for sharing your research with us so we could choose what we wanted). Great week.

Joseph was great in his role in "The Romanian Uranium Mystery"

It was such a shocker I had to take a photo of it...Ryan on the stage as an extra, with Eric. They were pretty funny, too.

I got the advent calendar stocked with chocolate and scriptures

Hannah worked on her craft project

Alex had a craft project of his own: making a turkey using my punches

Eric, Alex, Hannah, and Andrew playing Dominion

Fun and games--Hannah, Victoria, Erin, and Madison

Only one candle as 50 wouldn't have fit and would have taken too much time

Alex, Hannah, Eric, Elder Siné, Travis, Jiaxin, Eric, and Ryan and Elder Chamberlain

Eric, Elder Siné, and Jiaxin after Elder Siné's last discussion with them (his mission is done on Tuesday)

I also had a craft project...I made 3 sets of blocks that each have 3 seasons on them

basketball, Eric's birthday, and is it Don King or Pepe le Pew?

Latest happenings at our house (besides "Joseph and the ...")
 
I thought it was so cool. Hannah and her friend Jamee tried out for basketball even though they knew they wouldn't make it. And not that height has too much to do with it (at least in girl's), but Hannah is only 5' 3" and Jamee is even shorter...and they don't really ever play basketball. It was for the experience of it all.

Hannah said it was funny when it was her turn to talk to the coaches about whether she made the team or not. They were trying to be kind and let her down gently. She said they were shocked when she was totally OK when she didn't make it. Though she is wondering what she is going to do with all her extra time now that "Joseph..." is over. Glen's already moved on and has 3 one acts plays going on tonight the 21st ("Joseph" just closed 2 nights ago).

Eric turned 20 yesterday. Yikes. Where has the time gone.

And in the mornings I often debate if I look more like Don King or PePé Le Pew. What do you think? Oh, maybe it's Cruella de Ville?

I must have no sense of pride in order to show this...oh. well
