Here’s a run down of last week:
Last Sunday our ward finally had a Court of Honor. Caleb earned nine merit badges and got his bronze, gold, and silver Eagle Palms. He accomplished the goal he’s had since becoming an Eagle last year.
Each boy was asked to tell about their experience earning one of their merit badges. I was thinking Caleb would share something cool, I mean he earned some of those merit badges in Alaska, and he had a cool experience earning his law merit badge. Instead he shared that he realized the week before the Court of Honor that unless he earned another merit badge, he wouldn’t get his silver Palm. So he started and finished his photography requirements. He’s funny.
On Monday, we went to Caleb’s choir concert. They were amazing.
On Tuesday, Caleb gave in to peer pressure and tried out for the school play, Alice in Wonderland. He tried out with a monolog from Knights Tale that he didn’t spend too much time practicing because he was hoping not to get a part. He got a part. LOL.
That night, we went to a Voice Male concert at Thanksgiving Pointe. It was way fun.
On Wednesday, we had a little break. Caitlin and I went to Young Women and decorated gingerbread houses.
Thursday was Caitlin’s orchestra concert. Her friends came over after school and curled her hair. She has really cute friends and they are helping to make her girly.
We also made an offer on a house. Someone else beat us to the punch and we didn’t get it. I was sad for a few days, now I’m over it and looking again.
Friday brought the HopeKids Christmas party and our ward party. Both were fun. Our ward party was catered by Rodizio Grill- yum! Each auxiliary also had to put on a skit. Our Bishopric rocks! Their rap routine was so great. In fact, I have a feeling it’s on You Tube by now.
On Saturday we almost finished our Christmas shopping and then went to a concert we have been waiting all December for. Jon and Steven are our favorites. Caitlin was thrilled to meet her favorite cellist after the concert and it turns out he’s as nice as he is talented (and shorter than I thought he’d be).
We promised the kids we’d take them out for breakfast after the concert. It was a late, but fun night.

Way to go Caleb! So many scouts get their Eagle and then quit working on anything. Sorry about the house. When it is the right one, it will work out.
Caleb is funny, wouldn't trade for anything. We are proud of his accomplishments! Caitlin looked pretty happy meet Steven, yeah! The house will work out, I like the picture of the blue one best that Clint sent to Dad. The floor plan is great. Can't wait to see you all.
