Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Movie Night

Theme movie nights are one of our favorite family activities.... lots more fun than going to the "big screen" If you haven't seen "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" than the refreshments served will make no sense to you... they are the same foods Charlie Brown served his friends for Thanksgiving dinner.

Lean Green Wrestling Machine

He doesn't weigh much but he is one heck of a little wrestler. He has absolutely no fear of his opponents on the mat because he wrestles his 14 year old brother at home all the time so another 6 year old is nothing.  He is one of the few little wrestlers I have never seen cry at a match. Being pinned to the mat, feeling trapped has got to be scary... but this kid just jumps up with a grin and goes at it again. He has heart, determination, and an incredible level of good sportsmanship. He had a wonderful season...


When you are this "skinny" it's okay to stop at
the donut dive for a little morning boost on the way
to the regional tournaments....
