Meaghan went on a field trip to the Farias School, with which her school has the buddy system. The kids have written to each other, chatted via the Internet, and then finally got to meet.
Camron had his class Holiday party, which included doing a craft, treats, playing games, more treats, doing a book exchange, and then, yup, treats. All the kids loved it - and why wouldn't they? And what parent wouldn't be super excited about picking up their sugar-infused child at the end of the day? Just look at those sweet faces.
Camron took his Tae Kwon Do belt test, working to go from yellow to orange (white-yellow-orange). Despite a uniform debacle, he did great and received his orange belt!
Both kids started basketball with the YMCA. Though both on different teams due to age, both are the Nuggets. Meaghan is like a Mexican jumping bean - a great defender and a great shot. If only she'd go after the ball a bit more. Camron, when he's not concerned with the buzzer - fingers in ears and all as he runs up and down the court - is an expert dribbler and shooter, and goes right after the ball. It's going to be an exciting season!
And though we were a bit under the weather the end of December, we had family here from Kansas City and the kids got to play with their cousin. Besides, swapping germs is part of a kid's routine, right? It's all about building the immunity system - when it's my kids who are sick, anyway, hehe.
And that finishes out December. And the year. And now it's time for a little retrospect and resolutions, because while 2011 was a great year, I think 2012 can be even greater.

Is it just me, or do you see reflections of cousin Sam in Meaghan's smiling face above? Haacke blood must run thick.
