Achievements and Accomplishments plus a little fun

This post is all about catching up with photos.  I forget that everyone is not on Facebook so I tend to skip the blog updates.  So here goes:

Halloween - Adam was a Ninja Turtle and Grace was Mordecai from Regular Show


Shortly after Halloween Grace received her report card for the first quarter.  She had three A's and one B which put her on the Honor Roll.  Right after that we received a notice that Grace was invited to the award ceremony for the UNC Research Institute Art Contest that she had entered over the summer.  To our surprise she won first place in the 4th - 8th grade category.  The topic was Keeping Your Neighborhood Healthy.


Thanksgiving was spent at home.  This year the kids made the pumpkin pie!!


As I've mentioned before Grace made the We R Odell chorus and this weekend was her first performance.  They sang at the Cox Mill High School Christmas Bazaar.  She was pretty awesome.  Can you spot her in the photo?


When the performance was over we walked around and took a moment to visit with Santa.  Adam told the big guy exactly what he wanted while Grace informed us that she wrote him a letter and that he knows what she wants.  Thank God only Mom and Dad know Santa's address.


Sunday, Adam went to a birthday party at a local stable.  He never took to the horses when Grace was riding, but he was all about getting on that horse with his friends.


So now we are all caught up.  Grace turns the big 1-0 this Friday and then we have Christmas and Adam's birthday on the horizon.  Thanks for checking out our blog.  I really promise to do better.
