Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving Day we spent most of the day at home. That evening we went to our friend's, The Phillips' house who live just down the street. They invited us over to their house for dinner. We originally were planning to go visit family around Waukon and Harpers but decided to wait to do that on Saturday. Well that didn't work out either since I woke up sick with a cold on Saturday.

I had a lot of fun playing with Joey though at their house. He likes Cars too so we played Cars together. We both loved it!


On Friday we spent  the day at home decorating for Christmas. I helped decorate the Christmas tree. The first ornaments I put on were my ornaments Mom and Dad got me for this year. I get one (or two) every year. This year I got a Mater ornament and a wooden race car that looks like Lightning McQueen. Mom put a "95" sticker on it and it has my name on it.

Family Fun

Yesterday I had such a fun day! It started by us all driving to Cedar Falls. Dad and I went to the UNI Panther men's basketball game with Uncle Dolly, Kari, Reese and Grandpa.  Uncle Dolly has court side seats so we were really close to the action. He also has a suite so we got to go up in that for a little while too. I was way up high in there.

After the game we all went to Uncle Dolly and Aunt Kari's house for a Thanksgiving celebration. I love going there. I got to go for a golf cart ride, putt the ball on the golf course, play pool, play with Reese and we pretended to play Wheel of Fortune AND I had cake! I love cake!

I came up from playing pool and said, "Uncle Dolly, I was thinking.....we could.....starts with a 'G'." He knew what I was talking about....a GOLF CART RIDE!! He's the best uncle!

I was so tired by the time we left I zonked out on the car ride home. What a great day!

Something to Remember

Today I picked Mom's cell phone up off the end table and brought it over to her. I said, "Here's your phone. It was shivering." She smiled. I guess what it was actually doing was vibrating - not shivering.

Preschool Conferences

This morning Mom had my preschool parent teacher conference. Dad stayed home with Blythe and I. Mom came back and said I got a good report. My teacher Ms. Allison told Mom that I am a smart little boy and a sweet kid. She told Mom mostly things she already knew - that I knew all my letters, and the sounds they make, I can count to 100, I seem to love learning and that I am a good boy. She also told Mom that I do a good job of participating in everything we do at school. Mom and Dad weren't sure how much I actually participated because they both took me on a field trip and apparently they thought I wasn't paying much attention to what was going on and gawking around. They were pleased to hear I do a good job of participating.

Some things Ms. Allison suggested we work on are keeping my hand on the table when I write, balancing on one foot and skipping.
