Charlotte's Last Basketball Game This Season

Here is Charlotte with her coach after she received her trophy.
Vincent is watching very carfully after Charlotte scored her second basket in today's game.
This is the action shot of Charlotte's first basket in today's game.  Charlotte is wearing the green shorts and is watching the ball go through the net! The "yellow" team is waiting to rebound! Great game Charlotte!

Trip to American Girl and Chicago

We are enjoying lunch at the American Girl Cafe, here Cara and Baby Cara are eating strawberries. Yummy!
Desserts was a daisy decorated chocolate mousse, heart shaped sugar cookie and heart shaped cake with icing with pink stripes. Yum!
My entree was quiche with salad, Cara had mini hotdog, mini hamburger, macaroni and cheese with a fresh fruit kabob!  She ate very well!
Cara feeding baby Cara!

Science Fair

"FINGERPRINTS: DOES FAMILY MATTER" was the theme Dillon chose for his Science Fair project.  His display showed different characteristics of finger prints and he even had Al Capone's fingerprints.  His project was chosen "Most Creative" for his grade level!  Very interesting! He enjoyed showing his expertise to those who stopped by his display.  His display also included fingerprints from his parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, grandparents and cousins.  

Sunday Event

Here is Oscar trying to hide from me, so I did not get a good picture!
Charlotte is coloring a picture!
Vincent is showing a "?????" that he made with legos!
Dillon is playing a Webkinz game on the computer!  The four had spent the night and here they are playing on Sunday.

Charlotte

Charlotte had just finished playing basketball and off we went to go watch Dillon play!

Saturday Lunch




After basketball we took the grandchildren to lunch here they are enjoying their free lunch at Steak N Shake.  And playing with french fries.

More Basketball


Here is Vincent (Cara took his picture) at Charlotte's game)!
Last week we invited Cara with us to watch her cousins play basketball.  Here are Cara and Oscar saying goodbye after the game.  Cara didn't know Oscar was going home with us to play.

Grandchildren and Saturdays




A normal Saturday this time of year is filled with basketball games.  Two grandchildren are playing this season.  Usually we go to Charlotte's game and them to Dillon's.  Dillon sometimes plays more than one game so we can usually make the later game and still enjoy watching Charlotte.  At today's game Charlotte (5) scored two baskets.  She get so excited when she scores (well her parents and grandparents do too).  Dillon gets excited too when he scores.  It's hard to get an action shot but here are some at play shots.

Christmas party

These are pictures of some of my great nieces and nephews and grandchildren.  It was hard to get them all of look at the same time.  After they grouped together Cara is trying to "conduct" them in singing a Christmas song.  Some of the girls are wearing an embroided apron and the rest have a Colts pillow or Colts blanket.
