We had fun at their classroom parties, then we went to visit the Arehart family and trick-or-treat with the Treib's.

The Griffins had a team dinner to get their rings!  It was a fun time and the first look at each of their personal rings...

pumpkin {decorating}

 It's pumpkin fest at school next week, so we spent Friday night decorating our pumpkins.  I was daring and let the kids use the glue gun!

calder cup {name plate}

The 2012-2013 team name plate has been placed on the Calder Cup where it will reside for the next 20 years...pretty cool!

last game {cheer}

Today was the last rocket football game for the girls to cheer at.  It was by far the coldest game also!!

 The Steakley's, grandma and grandpa braved the cold to watch Maddie at cheer and then Jack at hockey in the cold ice rink!  Thanks guys!

The girls loved it and learned lots of new cheers!

Tonight was the home opener of the 2013-2014 hockey season.

The banners were raised to the rafters to commemorate the winning 2012-2013 season.
