Regional Chess Tournament

Bayley's team took first place in the regional tournament. He played well, but four of the boys on his team were undefeated, which means they'll be the ones going to the state tournament. Bayley really embraced that they won as a team, which made us quite proud. He was so excited, he decided we just had to go out to dinner.

Buy My Mom's Book

For Kicks came out last week, and Private Scandal hits bookshelves next week. The boys have realized how these books do is the determining factor in whether they get to go to Disneyland this summer. They keep asking how the books are doing, which cracks me up.

Bubble Wrap

I did most of my holiday shopping online, so whenever something came packaged in the bubble wrap, the kiddos had a blast dancing on it!

The Doughnut King

Santa hooked Hayden up with a donut baker...and of course he had to try it out and experiment with toppings. His first foray into donut bliss was a chocolate version, so he opted for powdered sugar, chocolate frosted...and chocolate frosted with Reese's Santa had delivered to his stocking.

We had fun, but the baker is very hot, so I wasn't comfortable with Hayden squirting the batter in.
