Thanksgiving festivities

The Thanksgiving season festivities started at Valley Christian, where Dani got to watch the Thanksgiving "feast." She always thinks it is funny to go to the school to watch the kids, but we love seeing their Thanksgiving creations.

Jared was especially proud of his carving - removing each breast and carving them individualy, removing the legs, arranging the light and dark meat. It was great!

We had the usual fixings, and they were delicious!

John and Wendy Richards and their kids joined us. It was fun to spend the holiday with them!

 

House Projects - part 1

We gave the kids bathroom a little update recently. The old:

When we re-carpeted, we had the floors done in LVT. While John was here, he and Dani teamed up to frame in the mirror. They put the frame together, stained it, and stuck it right on the mirror. We also changed the light fixture.

We are really happy the way it turned out!

 

Biz Town

One of the things the 5th graders in Wilsonville look forward to is participating in a program called "Biz Town," where the kids all participate in a mock community with businesses, salaries, money, and the ability to purchase things. 

Claire was the CFO the town's news room. We made and sold a newspaper, but she did all the accounting and bills and stuff.

I (Jacob) was CFO of Northwest Sports

What we did there was we sold sports balls, bags, cards, and other fun little sports things. By the end of the day, we tried to get enough money to pay off a debt.

Dani volunteered at the event to answer questions.
