Work and life have been pretty busy so we are just now getting to decorating for Christmas. Tommy picked out a tree from the yard and him and Jake cut it down. I got some lights on it and some ornaments. The boys also did decorating of the rest of the house including their own tree in their room. And they got out their train which they were very excited about.

Garage Floor and Doors
They got the concrete poured. We then had Max come over and seal it for us as they were not going to do it. Next they put the garage door in. Eric wasn't super happy about the door as it seemed a bit dented. Sounds like it is a manufacturer shipping defect.

Wrestling Tournament
The boys did their first wrestling tournament of the year over in Bremerton. Tommy had a rough day. He is in the 12U bracket which is pretty tough. There are no easy matches. He had to wait a long time for his first match. He panicked a bit and had a hard time breathing after getting pinned and then had to turn around and do his second match 15 minutes later. His day was done at that point.
Jake had a really great day. He won three matches and lost two and landed in fourth place. One spot out of the medals. He is really improving and becoming more confident. He did so well it made it a pretty long day due to him being there for the last round.
And then he celebrated with a banana split after that.

First Wrestling Meet
The boys had their first wrestling meet in Tacoma. Tommy ended up pinning both of his competitors. His form was a bit shaky at times. You could tell it was his first match in a while. He did have a fairly easy group so he got to work on his moves a bit and did improve by the end of the day. Jake did really well. He did get pinned once and lost the second one by 1 point. But he was in a tougher group and showed really good form and wrestled really well. He had a third match and went on to pin his opponent in that match. He even did two egg rolls which he was pretty proud of. It was a good way to warm up the season.

Winterfest
Well, we had to rush there after a day of painting. But we had a nice time at Winterfest. We clipped coupons from the Beachcomber and turned them in at all the stores for a drawing for giveaways. Then we saw the parade with a lot of lit up cars. They had a tree lighting and some music and Jingle Bells by the third grade class. We then went over to the theatre where they had some more music and a guy in a Grinch costume. I made my boys get a picture with him. Including the head Grinch himself. It was Eric's birthday after all. Then we went to the free showing of the Grinch.
