Happy Belated Thanksgiving!

First of all, I would like to apologize for not blogging in so long. I can't say that there has been a lot going on, I just haven't gotten around to blogging.

So, as you know, a few uh. . . months ago was Thanksgiving. Like we always do, my family went to Crown Point to enjoy a great Thanksgiving dinner and spend some time with our family. While we were there, not only did we play Star Wars Battlefront 2 for approximately 3 hours straight, but the Packers beat the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving football action. Both Donald Driver and Charles Woodson had superb games, but in the end Donald Driver got the little turkey trophy that they give to the MVP of each Thanksgiving Day game.



After Thanksgiving we went to Valparaiso to visit family on my dad's side. With my cousins Sarah and Aaron, I succeeded in making possibly the biggest block tower ever created by mankind. Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a little bit, but it was immense.

After visiting our Valpo relatives, we returned to Crown Point to see the new movie, Fantastic Mr. Fox, based on the book by Roald Dahl. It was a very original, unique movie that was funny at times.

After all our Thanksgiving excitement we headed home. So far a lot has happened, including:
1. My basketball team is currently undefeated! Our toughest game thus far has been Suburban Bethlehem, but we still beat them 26-9. Unfortunately, I sprained my finger during the game and I have a nasty bruise on my knee and head. As you can probably tell, Suburban Bethlehem is a very aggressive team.
2. The Mighty Pack (Green Bay has now officially regained the title "Mighty") beat the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football! Unfortunately I didn't get to watch it because we don't have cable and the game was on ESPN, but my dad went and saw it at a bar. So far we are 8-4. Slowly but surely, we're getting better.
3. We got our midterm report cards back. For the third time in my life I got straight A's! That puts me in the high honor roll, which I was in last quarter. I'm so excited!
4. I got invited to join the varsity basketball team for 5 games this season! I already played in one game, in which we suffered a crushing loss, 36-6.
5. Christmas season officially began (at least in my mind; Lowe's starts putting out Christmas decorations in late August)! Our Christmas decorations went up, and so did our Christmas tree. It's once again the most wonderful time of the year!
6. It has snowed 4 times but hasn't stuck yet. We're supposed to get 3 inches tonight, so hopefully we'll get at least a 2 hour delay!
