Thanksgiving – November 2010

   Family and friends give so much meaning to life.  Our Thanksgiving seemed quiet compared to years past.  We drove to Poway and spent a few days with Spencer and Amy.

The Turkey was cooked perfectly and the rest of the menu was superb.  It was fun to play games with them and do some fun crafts with the children.  We decorated a ginger bread house and started a paper machei (sp?) snowman.  How DO you spell that?  I’ll get those pictures asap . . .

As promised, we  helped with some of the Christmas decorating.  Well, John helped Spencer with the outside lights (including pounding in the nails so it will be easier next year and after …)  While I continued to play and watch Samantha discover the tree skirt “fit” her perfectly and made a fine dancing skirt.

Bobby’s Team Wins!

At the long awaited volleyball tournament, this weekend, Whoa, OLD post-forgot to publish)  :)   it was no surprise that our own Bob Ward and his team mate won the whole thing.  They were the grand prize winners of a gift certificate to Golden Corral!  Wow!  I bet the children are thrilled.

Bob’s team were almost unbeaten and would have completely swept the tournament . . . except for one little thing.  Did I say little?  Well, I should have said younger.  Bob’s team was beaten only by his younger brother. Mark.  Oops!  What does that mean?   Are the younger ones taking over in this family or was it just a fluke?  Stay tuned for the next exciting episode of “youth versus experience” in the Ward family sports drama.
