- Landon and Sol finished up their Mexico trip, celebrating "Day of the Dead" while they were there. They made it over for the big meal on Thanksgiving, and for birthday cake on the big days.
- Cal and Kate got over Covid, and got their sense of smell/taste back. They did some dog-sitting and hit the Van Gough exhibit.
- Tepanyaki ... is our go-to celebratory dinner, which we sandwiched in between the birthdays.
- There was some laughing as some of us (Gray/Jen, Landon/Sol & Keaton) went downtown to see the comdedian Hasan Minhaj.
- Oven issues ... lead to some burned bread, but luckily "turning it off and on again" seemed to reset things without a repair.
- Got screwed ... screw in a tire, but we are spoiled with an in-house air-compressor and fast service from Discount Tire.
- Work Shifts ... Keaton never committed to electrical like Cal has, and he has taken a step back with that job, no longer a team-leader with a van (which does open up a needed spot in the driveway) and now works on Cal's crew. This was partially because he wanted to return to Nike for some holiday shifts. And some holiday shopping discounts. Mostly for the discounts I think.
- Sadies ... Colton had his first official "date" to Sadie Hawkins (school dance).
- Jump ... Keaton had his 50th (and final for the season) jump out of a plane.
- Kitties ... our kitties have recovered from their vet visit last month. Now they are super jealous as Coop spends a little time giving food and love to a wandering neighborhood kitty that has been stopping by with regularity.
- Still playing Pokemon Go ... Jen is more active than Cooper and actually passed him up.
- Basketball ... Cal played in a weekend tournament with buddies, and ... Colton made the high school team. Not that there was really any question there. He's a sophomore, but will only play JV and Varsity this year. They had their first game the last day of November (JV highlights HERE, and he made his first points in a Varsity game, he was the only non-senior to get any playing time).
Now it's the countdown to Christmas. We DO have the tree up, although it's not decorated yet ...
