As promised to my grandmother, I Trey, am writing this week with the intentions of publishing information and pictures about my eagle project. My eagle project was planning a Christmas Party for the Seattle Spina Bifida Organization. I was put in charge of most of the responsibilities in the planning for this event. The project began on Dec. 5, a Friday night, when about 15 people came to our church building and helped set up the cultural-hall for the event. The next day, over 100 people showed up to have some Christmas fun. For the kids, there were craft tables, letters to write to Santa, cookie decorating, and a puppet show. The adults were welcome to enjoy all those too, but I created a most-difficult Christmas trivia quiz for them. Those who answered the most questions correctly won a prize (p.s.- no one got 100%). Overall it was a really fun event and all the volunteers had a wonderful time playing with the children. I must say it was the only eagle project in history in which there were more young women volunteering than young men. I am a couple merit badges away from completeting my eagle scout award. Stay tuned for that event. Here are some of the pictures:

Memories of an Old Man!

Hey Eliza Here! Doing the her duty on the blog! (for the record, the second time, since the last one was deleted second within completion!!!) 

This week (Tuesday to be exact) we celebrate Daddy's 46 birthday!!! yeah!!! This wondrous occasion was celebrated with homemade pizza's! The pizza's were imitations of the famous ones from Christmas eve, as they did not have quite as many toppings, but they were yummy nevertheless!!! 

   This is Dads creation.  And this is Dad enjoying his creation! 

        

                                                       

This year each child also completed a questionnaire for their knowledgeable father. This questionnaire covered various fun facts about the year he was their age. (For example: I did a little quiz on the year 1976 because that was the year he was 13) These questionnaires covered anything the child wanted, though most of them covered things like the top songs, super bowls, Olympics, world news, world leaders, world records...ect. Dad did pretty well on Taft and Trey's, and moderately well on mine, but we didn't even make quizzes for when he was 9 and 4 because we didn't think his memory would reach out that far!!! 

Because some of the top songs of those memorable year were songs the children were not familiar with, mom and dad began education our minds with classic seventies literature (or in my words, the crazy hippiness of the seventies!!! man, the seventies were sooooo retro!!!!) Our little peruse through the seventies lasted a little longer than anticipated, and the rest of the night was spent cleaning up pizza mess and reliving the seventies!! 

      

Thaddeus didn't know what        This is an example of

to think of the seventies            the very retro seventies!
