Tree Decorating

We had a great turkey dinner and TONS of leftovers. But they are all gone now. Well, unless you count the casseroles I made up and stuck in the freezer. I will give it a week or two, since I think we've had enough of Turkey! The stuffing turned out great! Even I liked it! So I think that is my from now on recipe! Yummy! Here are some pics of the boys decorating the tree. This is the first year that Christina didn't help. She went to friends instead. :( I'm sure I was that way at her age too. The boys had fun decorating.

Here are some other decorations throughout our house. No Chimney, so stockings get hung in the foyer.

I think Caleb is going to be a chef. lol Here he is how he is 'cooking' his soup. I'm glad the knobs to turn the stove on are up high. Zachary and Caleb love to have me blow bubbles for them. Gymboree bubbles are the best there is! Here Caleb is catching them on his fingers, and Zachary is popping them. Mike is working in Miami again today. To bad there is school, or we'd be there with him. Zachary got his report card. He is having a hard time for some reason in school this year. He doesnt like to go, and is struggling with reading. Math comes pretty easy for him. So he is OK there. But he really has trouble with alot of words, even the easy ones. Its kind of funny to me, because Christina didnt learn to read at his level until she was in 2nd or 3rd grade. (she struggled too) but here they say he is behind in his reading. He has only been in 1st grade for 3 months! I thought he was doing OK. But according to his teacher he is behind where they expect Florida students to be at this time. Makes me wonder exactly how BAD is Arizona schools? I know the Dysart district wasnt the best, but he did so well last year, right where he was supposed to be. What other 5 year old can say the ABC's backwards, and fast too? The reason we chose to live in this area was because all of the schools in the Seminole County District are A+ schools. They must have much higher standards than Az. That will be good in the long run. But is a pain right now.
