Snow?
We were expecing 3-6 inches of the white fluffy stuff overnight. But alas, the temps did not drop enough, so we got a good, soaking rain. The kids were disappointed to wake up to rain instead of snow. But it did snow a bit when we were coming home from church. It's 39* here right now.

Thanksgiving was fun...and cold. It was warmer in NY than here...there's just something WRONG with that! We had my mom, step father and stepbrother over, along with a friend and her 6 children. Their dad is an Air Force chaplain and is currently deployed to Qatar. So we had a total of 11 children and 6 adults! It was a great time.

Emma was on one of our local news channels on Friday. She and another cast member were promoting The Nutcracker. She did a FANTASTIC job. One more week until we move into the Auditorium and begin the daily 5 hour rehearsals before the curtain goes up. I'm really enjoying Nutcracker this year...mainly because my only responsibility (other than getting Emma to/from rehearsals) is to sell the DVDs! Quite a difference from being in charge of props last year!

Erik starts basketball practice in a week. He's been practicing this fall with Doug's jr high team. Doug's team is 1-3 and he's still having a good time with them ;-)

Had Erik's birthday party yesterday. He invited 7 boys and they brought new unwrapped toys for Erik to donate to Toys for Tots. They had a great time...even though it was cold and rainy and they had to be inside...the...whole...time. One thing he really liked was the special cake I made. It was made from a mix, but one specially formulated for folks with egg, milk and nut allergies. I wasn't sure what the guests would think. Erik was thrilled that they ALL liked it! "Nobody ever wants to eat my allergy food. I can't believe they liked it!"

That's all for now.
