I didn't have a scarf to wear to school today.  Walmart didn't have any.  I would say they are not a real necessity here in Texas.  Mr. Mark was going to get up early and go to Walmart to get two for Anthony and me, but my mom told him she had already looked at Walmart.

It was a routine day at school and when I jumped off the bus, I asked where is Mimz?  Barbara assured me that she would be here soon and she was.  I had already started playing football with my friends when she arrived.

I showed Barbara my "passport."

This was a fun experience.

I named off all the countries that we had visited the past couple of weeks.  What we did was go visit the classrooms of the fourth and fifth graders.  They had decorated their room, wore clothes from the country and had food from the country of the day.  They told us some interesting things about the countries.

I brought home a bag with my December art work.

Mimz and I stopped at HEB to get groceries for dinner.  I got to play with Knox for about 30 minutes.

Mimz had some beautiful decorated Chritmas cookies.

Today was Anna Kate's school Christmas party and her mommy, daddy, and grandmother all went.  Barbara and GGF were going but then they decided it would be better for them to babysit Bradley to keep him away for a couple hundred people that had all kinds of germs.  He is only a week old.   Anna Kate has been sick often since she started going to school.  Anna Kate was the star of her little class presentation.  They were all seated on the stage.  Anna Kate stood up, jumped up and down a few times, turned her back to the audience, and clapped at the end.  Such a cutie pie!

This was the first time Barbara had babysat Bradley.

 

 He was a very good little boy.  It took him a long time to drink his tiny bottle.

  GGF rocked his cradle part of the time.

 In Willis, the swimmng pool hole has been dug...

 ...and today they pored whatever it is they line the pool with.
