Ethan's soccer championship


I (Ethan) just had a great soccer season. The people on my team are:Nate, Logan, Me, Jack, Nathan, David, Devin, Payton, Adam, Parker, Evan, Luke, and Brian. We went un-defeated and won the championship! It was tied at the end, so it went into overtime. After overtime, it was STILL tied, so it went into penalty kicks! We won in penalty kicks 5-4. I had a fun season and I am looking forward to another great season this fall!

Kelsey's Birthday Party

This year I had my (Kelsey) thirteenth birthday! Since I moved from St.Lawrence to CC, I've made so many new friends from St.Boniface. I had a big party at our house, and invited seventeen people! The party was from 7-9:30. We didn't want it to be too long, because with that many people, we didn't know how much we could think of to do. But it was lots of fun and definitely not boring. We probably could've even gone for another half hour. We ordered Domino's pizza and had plenty of other snacks set up on the dining room table. We ended up having sixteen people, including me. We had pizza, ran around in the backyard and pretty much the whole neighborhood, opened presents, and had cake. I got lots of Vera Bradley and Target gift cards (which I'm still trying to use up!). The time went by so fast-we were all surprised when we came back to the house and there were half a dozen cars parked outside! After everyone left, I was completely exhausted. It was so much fun, and I can't wait to have my party next year!


Easter




This Easter, we decided to stay home to celebrate. The day before, we decorated eggs using the classic colored water and colored Q-tips. We made ten eggs in all. The next day was Easter! The first thing we did was look for our Easter baskets. They were filled with lots of candy, books, gift cards, and toys. Then we went searching for the eggs. Some of them were hard to find! After we found them all, we looked through our baskets some more and ate candy and cinnamon rolls. Then we got ready for church. After church was over, we came home and had a snacky lunch and started getting dinner ready. We had a pork roast, mashed potatoes, and green beans (it's been so long since we've posted anything, we totally forget what we had! We're just guesssing about the sides.) It felt good to just relax and enjoy spending Easter together, just our family this year.
