Tuesday Ben had his last Cub Scouts pack meeting of the year, complete with lots of Christmas treats. At this meeting, Ben was awarded several beltloops that he earned- citizenship, art, photography, and pet care. Yay!
Evan had a Christmas storytime and started gymnastics classes on Wednesday.
Ben got to build and decorate his gingerbread house on Thursday.
On Friday we all went to Ben’s class’ Around the World Christmas party. The kids all went in their jammies; they all brought a dish from a country that they were assigned; they all got to exchange gifts (books!). Ben had been assigned Germany. So we made brotchen (German hard rolls), he learned how to say “Merry Christmas” in German, and we learned a few things about how they celebrate Christmas there. After the party, Nathan and Ben headed out for a Cub Scouts fieldtrip to the Toyota plant to watch the production line.
Yesterday Ben and I attended the Cub Scouts Christmas party. Our den mom provided food, drinks, a fire pit to enjoy and cook s’mores on, and a hike by flashlight. It was so much fun!
And today we headed out to Fiesta Texas. In addition to enjoying all the usual rides, we also got treated to thousands of beautiful Christmas lights and sledding down a snow hill!!!

Congrats on the new beltloops, Ben! I can’t wait to see all of them!
And Evan- What do you think of gymnastics? I know your brother loved going when he was little!
I’m glad you all had fun and stayed warm at Fiesta Texas last night.
And we can’t wait to see you both on Thursday for Christmas.
Love you both!
