Merry Christmas One and All!

A few days ago we decorated our tree and put up manger scenes! It is amazing how just a few things like that can make every thing feel a lot more Christmasy

Yesterday we also watched "The Grinch That Stole Christmas" It was fun as usual.







On a different subject our FLL tournament was a success! Our team got the  "Citizenship Award". We are having our end of the year party this thursday.

Two days ago I went to the store to get my new indoor soccer shoes, because I start indoor soccer today!

Hocky has been going well, I just got a new hockey stick also!

last Thursday and Friday my family and some friends went to the "Operation Christmas Child" warehouse. There we checked that all the boxes were OK to be shipped, then we loaded them in to bigger boxes and sent them on their way!

Water Park Resort

Yesterday I went to a small indoor water park with my friend Luke. His parents where going to a confrence at the resort so Luke and I go to hang out at the water park. It was pretty cool.

Today I did more FLL stuff. We went to the local nursing home and took some games along. When we arrived there were already some residents waiting for us. Four people from our group went to the nursing home, one of us (my friend Nicholas) went and played checkers with one of the residents, while the rest of us played sorry with a few other residents. It was really cool how much the residents opened up and started talking! The residents were really getting in to the games. The lady playing checkers with Nicholas had a "less than clean mouth". And one of the ladies playing sorry with us had no fear of cheating! if she did not like the card she drew she would just draw another one!
It was a really fun experience.

Today I smashed walnuts.

Earlier this summer we picked up a bunch of walnuts from our yard and took them to the basement. They sat in our basement for a few months and dried. Than I took a hammer to them and smashed out all of the meat.                              WHAT FUN!!!!!!!

I am not even touching the ground!

still nothing has happend lately so I will again post cool pictures!

This is our FLL robot

this does not look much like me, but it is still cool
