For our birthdays this year we went to the Great Wolf Lodge in Mason, Ohio. Xander and Sabrina joined us and the family had a wonderful time! It was a great opportunity to use the underwater camera too!

Super Bowl Commercials
So the kids were really excited about the Super Bowl this year. They made signs and decorated the basement. So to help keep them interested we have decided to rate the big commercials. We are each doing two thumbs up, down, or in the middle after each commercial. The commercials will get 0 points for a thumbs down, 1 point for in the middle, and 2 points for a thumbs up. Here are the results:
Bridgestone - Screaming Animals: 5.0 points
Under Armour - Shoes: 4.5 points
g2 gatorade: 4.5 points
fedex - carrier pigeons 4.5 points
tide stain - talking stain: 3 points
cars.com 2.5 points
(red): 1.5 points
Pepsi Max - What is Love: 0 points
godaddy - Danica Patrick: 0 points
Well we stopped there because the kids left me watching the game alone. :)

This weekend...
I really don't think any of these pictures need explaining. Except maybe the one where Grant is going through the contents of some stranger's purse...

Karate with Caleb and Xander
Caleb, Xander, and Michael all started a karate class today at the YMCA and my shins will never be the same. They were bowing nonstop and chopping everything in the house.

Sweet and Sassy
Sophie's aunts treated her to a girl's night out and a pampering at a salon for little girls last week for a Christmas present. Sophie loved the attention and now insists on putting on glitter spray whenever we go out. Thanks Aunt Steph and Aunt Krista!

Getting Together with Old Friends...
This is what the holidays are all about...
Brad sent me this picture from our annual holiday poker game at Dave's house. In the picture is Rob Pratt, Dave Pratt, Brad Baker, me (with no chips), and Charlie Wentling.
The week ended with a visit from Sean and Jeff.

The Month of December
We have had a busy but wonderful month in December.
Tammy has been providing daycare for four other kids this year. It has been a lot of work but we definately enjoy having them in our home. Each of the kids are special in their own way and it has been a nice change for Caleb and Trey to have playmates around all the time. Things have slowed down at the Treehouse but the playgroups are still a big hit and the community has really embraced the idea. Tammy and Jennifer will be planning out their winter sessions soon.
Carly, Trey and Carson...
Sophie and Caleb played indoor soccer this past session at the Countryside YMCA. It went really well and it was nice for me (dad) to watch my kids playing soccer instead of coaching all the time. Caleb played in the Candy League and was on the Gummy Bears team and Sophie actually got combined with a rec and select league so she got a chance to play in with some older, more experienced girls.
The kids love playing in the snow. Early in December we had a couple of decent snowfalls. Hopefully the pond will freeze over this winter so they can get some ice skating in too.
Trey and Sophie playing in the snow!
Christmas morning.
Towards the end of the month we were all pretty exhausted but a visit from the Tackett's down from the state up north and Aunt Bernice and Uncle Fred from California kept us on the go!

We had Hanukkah dinner with Tammy's parents and Elaine at Silver Spring House and had the Chudnoff family over to our place for presents and a sleep over. Christmas brought all of the Reed's over to our place including Stephanie in from Chicago. Santa was good to the kids and we even got a new foosball table.

Memories...
Just had a good time showing the kids old tv shows I used to watch... Go to YouTube and search for picture pages, bloodhound gang, electric company, etc, etc, etc.
If anyone finds the clip where all the kids are running and jumping past each other and the images are repeated over and over let me know. Anyone know what I am tlaking about? I think it was Electric Company but I couldn't find it...

senior prank
This was a pretty impressive senior prank here in Wilmington... They took apart the seats inthe middle of the night and changed the big W to an '08. Too bad they put the apostrophe on the wrong side...

Quick Updates
Sophie - Sophie is attending a church camp this week and seems to really be enjoying it so far. She is looking forward to starting second grade in a couple of weeks. Next week she is travelling to Chicago with Tammy and Gigi to visit the American Girl Store. She has been working so hard on riding her two-wheeler and is so close...
Caleb - Caleb's favorite thing to do this summer has been to swim at the pool. He is a little fish now. He also has enjoyed our trips to Kings Island and visiting the grandparents...
Trey - If you saw Trey's face you would think he has been spending the summer training as a boxer. He is cut and bruised from head to toe. He loves the outdoors and has been keeping Tammy on the move from sun up to sun down.
Steve and Tammy - The Treehouse is doing well and takes most of Tammy's time when she is not with the kids. Steve is in full swing with soccer and already back at work. Yep, summer is over. We did get away to see Robert Randolph and the Family Band recently with Ali and Mike. It was a nice evening.
