Awards, Parties & Shopping

On Thursday morning our boys had their awards assemblies. Both of them did well and were very proud of themselves.

Owen received two awards. He received the "ROAR" award which is for good behavior for 3 months. He also received the "On The Right Track" award which means he is working hard on his grades. The one picture is of Owen and his teacher Mrs. Kooyman who we LOVE!!!! Owen did a great job and we are proud of him.

Ethan also received two awards. Ethan made the Honor Roll for good grades and also the "ROAR" award for good behavior for 3 months. The last picture is of Ethan and his teacher Ms. Bruer. She is wonderful and we are so happy Ethan has her! GOOD JOB ETHAN!!!

On Thursday night we finally finished decorating the Christmas Tree. It was nice to finally get it finished but we had a good time doing so.

My moms birthday was Friday and on Saturday night we went to her annual Birthday Dinner to Three Forks in Claremont. It is a fine dining restaurant and since my brother is the head Chef Instructor at the culinary school in Pasadena (as well as the head wine expert) he knows most of the staff. Needless to say we were treated very well including siting at the Chef's Table. It was an amazing dinner that we only do a few times a year. Since fine dining is a bit pricey to say the least, it is a once every few month treat that we always look forward to. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!!

Mia didn't get any awards at the awards assembly but she entertained us during the boring times. She also entertained Ethan's class while they were waiting to walk into their assembly. We had Owen's assembly and then we had to take a walk on the playground while the 3rd grade assembly went on and then finally we had Ethan's 4th grade assembly and then we got to go home. Mia did very well for being at the school for such a long time!

 

This last collage is of Mia at Ann Taylor again today. Mia loves the mirror and kissing herself and sticking her tongue out and talking to herself. It is so darn cute and luckily the girls that work there know me well (Ann Taylor is my favorite store) so don't mind Mia messing up the mirror.
