Two basketball games for Noah, ice skating with friends and taking her written driver's license test for Alyssa, hunting for and arguing about the perfect Christmas tree, and a birthday party for one of the kids Alyssa babysits.
Alyssa passed her test, she'll take the behind the wheel portion on Dec. 27th and if she passes it she'll be officially licensed on Feb. 1st. Noah's team won both of their games. The first one by more than 30 points and the second by more than 20.
Sunday morning dawned cold and snowy. Our house always looks more festive when it's snowing. The Christmas tree farm just down the road was beautiful covered in snow. We tramped through the snow and admired the views. We finally decided on a beautiful 12' tree. It's a gorgeous, full, Grand Fir, very aromatic. The whole house smells great. Amazingly enough we got this huge tree for $25.00. It should have been $35, but the owners of the farm didn't feel like measuring and just let us have it for the under 10 foot price. Since no one plays the piano in our house any more we decided to take full advantage of our vaulted ceiling and place our big tree in the middle of the living/dining room blocking the piano.
The birthday party was at a place called 3,2,1 Bounce. It's a huge warehouse building filled with a variety of bouncy houses, the kind you see at carnivals. It has become a favorite party spot for the kids of our friends. This is the third party we've been to at 3,2,1 Bounce in the past six months. The little cutie Alyssa is posing with is the sister of the birthday boy.
