SWIMMING JO!Jo passed her last swim class and moves into Pre-Swim Team. We are very proud of her and we see she is proud of herself as well! Pre-Swim Team will teach competitive swimming in a non-competitive atmosphere while working on her strokes and endurance. She is excited to be in the pool three times a week for 45 min instead of twice a week for 30 min.
WhoooT!
Snow….SnoW…SNOWOk, we got quite a bit of snow but not near the amount as family and friends to our North. Jo, along with some neighbor kids walked down to our park, which has a small hill to see if they could get in some sledding.
Jo had a ball!
Falling over at the bottom was a highlight for her and always made her laugh.
Sleeping? Yes, she knelt down next to Oma and talked to her for a few, then crashed right there! Guess all the sledding wore her out.

Turkey Dinner
Mom was missing out on turkey leftovers so we cooked up a turkey dinner, had a couple friends over and ate like it was Thanksgiving all over again. The kids wanted the legs (who didn’t as a kid?) Eating with your hands, ripping the meat off the bone…LOVE IT!

We had Christmas Eve dinner with our neighbors again and like always we had fun. Most of you know Francis and Dale (right) from past posts here. We love them and always enjoy spending time with them. Kristy (left) is their daughter who spent the holiday with them. Old Jim (left) is just a hoot! He pretended to break a spoon while at dinner, I was horrified that he would do this and Oma thought, “Boy, Jim, you have a lot of guts!” He didn’t really break it but had both of us thinking he did. Said it before: We love our neighbors.

After dinner and the kids were ready for bed (yeah, right…Christmas eve…like they were ready for sleeping) they opened the gifts that they got for each other. Seems like this has become a tradition in our house.
Cole took no time at all to get his jeep out and raced it around the house. Only hitting ankles a few times…only a few.
Jo’s gift was a little more work and watching her pretend being a scientist was fun. We of course did something wrong at some point because no crystals formed. Work in progress; after all the light bulb did not light the first time either.I will leave this post with a breakfast conversation from our home.
Jo: Cole, what would you do if my face was on fire?
Cole: I would sit on your face and fart because a wet fart would put the fire out.
Jo: (looking up and pondering this for a moment) Mom? Would a wet fart put out a face fire?
Mom: Well, the wetness would put the fire out but not the gas part.

LOL! I love the conversations of kids. Now I'm wondering if that would work to fart on the fire to put it out if it was wet and a really big gust. Hmmm.
