Christmas Break

We actually made it to Christmas break. Everyone has been so busy, we weren't too sure we would make it. All of us are looking forward to a little "down" time.
Erin - Erin has been really busy with school. She had her Christmas program at school. The theme was Jinglebell jukebox. Erin wore a poodle-skirt. She looked really cute. She had a great time singing during the program. Erin didn't make the UIL team for math, but did make it for oral reading. They go to competition in January. She is super excited. Erin says she is the most ready for Christmas...I believe her!
Emily - Em participated in UIL competition for math and calculator. There were 7 schools that participated. Em finished 3rd in calculator and 2nd in math...YEA! She was really pleased with the results. Basketball is going great. She wasn't too sure about it when she started, but has really taken to it. She is averaging about 8 points and 8 steals a game. Em had a band concert last week that went really well too. Em is ready to not get up too early during the next 2 weeks.
Elizabeth - E finished finals and had a good semester. She is taking pre-AP classes that take up a ton of time studying and homework. She has done a great job managing her time. E completed the classroom portion of driver's education. She is now beginning to drive the car with Mom and Dad. E is ready...Mom and Dad are a different story.
Melinda - Mel has had a good year so far...much better than last year. She is ready for the school break, but has been so busy it doesn't look like much of a break.
Eric - just got back from the last business trip for the year (Orlando). Ready to enjoy the holidays and not drive anywhere...
