Turkey Time
I had to look up on the internet what a group of turkey's is called. Apparently it is called a RAFTER or a GANG.....Anyway....a RAFTER/GANG of turkey's lives in the woods in our neighborhood. We see them often as we leave in the nearby cul de sac. I have never seen them in our backyard until yesterday. 20 of them! Fascinating to watch as the ice/sleety snow pelted them for hours. By the time I grabbed the camera, they were at my neighbor's house, so I didn't get very good pics.
Fun at Carly's
Carly had a birthday party last weekend and had Kailee and Karli and Anna come. It was Anna's first sleepover away at at friend's house. She had a blast. Robin came back to my house for the night and we drove back to Bloomington the next day to see the girls, go to FUJI, and do a little shopping and of course lots of visiting. Had a great day. The girls are such good buddies and it is like they have never been a part.....mommies, too!

Gecko
Logan got a Gecko months ago and it is growing and apparantly it is a girl. Takes a while to figure that out. Grody became Grodie.
Show Choir Wins Grand Champ
The Show Choir went away with Grand Champion and the girl group got 4th runner up. They also best choreography and best vocals, best combo, Best female vocalist and others, I think.
No front tooth
Anna lost her second front tooth. It was a nasty pull. Brandon and I both got sick in the stomach. At one point it was sticking straight out and Brandon tried getting it out, but it was really hanging on. I finally popped it out. Barry missed all that fun while he was working BINGO that night for Show Choir.

Wisconsin Weekend
Logan's Show Choir went to Onalaska/La Crosse for a competition. I jumped at the chance for all of us to go because I knew that Brandon and Anna would love the hotel. It was a Stoney Creek Inn and it was very neat. The kids loved playing in the pool and Brandon loved how it had a pass-thru under to the outside. Brrr....it was a very very cold weekend, though. Negative temps were a norm there. We had fun at lunch with the Bowlings and enjoyed watching the choir perform. We were hoping that they would make finals, but they didn't. The show is timed and they went over the time limit and didn't make finals. Basically you have the preliminaries and then the top 6 schools make it to the finals that evening. We sat there for hours and Anna just sat and did her own thing. Brandon enjoys watching it all, too. I think they were also zapped out from all the swimming and sat without squirming for hours. I think in the 34 year history, they have not made finals like TWICE. Well, lesson learned and this weekend they are off to another competition. We didn't see Logan a whole lot, but we had a good weekend.

Christmas day!
We woke up Christmas Day (early, of course) to see if Santa had left anything for the Schmidt House. Yep...he came and the kids had fun with their gifts and then we had brunch at our house with my parents and Grandma. Later in the afternoon we went to my parents and spent the whole day their with my sister and her family.
