On Saturday morning, we headed to the middle school for two of Jocie's basketball games. They beat Becker in the first game by over 10 points. In the second game, they managed a 4 point victory against Rockford in the final minute. This brings their record to 10-0!! That Coach Adolphson must be a master coach to produce success like that :)

We prepared a taco bar and had a fantastic time! The kids (all 11 of them!!) had a great time (screaming) downstairs! :)
We were very happy that my brother, John and his wife, Beth could come all the way from Iowa! John's birthday is tomorrow (January, 26th), so we got a chance to celebrate his birthday too! He got his very own "boy" cake, which my nephew Tanner enjoyed as well...because there is no way he would be caught dead eating a "girl" cake!
....two candles left = two boyfriends :)Birthday party #2 (the "friend party") will follow this weekend at the Elk River Holiday Inn and Waterpark. We will bring Jocie + four friends to swim at the indoor waterpark and then stay the night in the "Kids Suite"...should be fun...pray for me :)
On Sunday, we headed down to Minneapolis for my graduation ceremony. I must say, that two years really flew by...only because I went through the program with such great friends. At times, they were the only ones making that program bearable!
Me, Nicole (+baby), Jen and Katie
Nicole and I were very proud of our Harry Potter-like "Masters Hoods"
I actually contemplated walking through the graduation ceremony, but in the end, I was very glad I chose to. It felt as though we were getting recognized for all of the hard work we had done...it felt good :) Ella was so cute. She said, "Mom, I bet you heard me clapping for you! I clapped as hard as I could!!" And if you know Ella, you know that she was probably the best clapper in the room...just ask her :)After the ceremony, we headed P.F. Chang for a little celebratory dinner. It was nice to be able to recognize Carl's accomplishments too, since he finished his Masters degree in August. After dinner, we made our way home to vamp up for the Vikings game....
Even though the game didn't turn out the way we wanted it to, Carl and the girls certainly dressed the part! Better luck next year.....and we still love Brett Favre!
