Jonah You Rock! (Thanks to Savannah)

Here is the awesome news for our family. All the elementary children had an assignment at school to write about their favorite holiday memory. Jonah wrote about an experience where Santa had ripped his coat on our fire place and left a piece of his Santa suit hanging on the fireplace guard. After reading it over, Savannah offered to help him "flower" it up a bit. She did a great job. So great, that Jonah's essay won for his school. He was then put in the overall Michigan drawing. And yes... He won! He gets to say a line on the air for Radio Disney AM 910 in Detroit. He was able to ride in the holiday parade with Miss Oakland County (I am sure it was his favorite part) and two players from the Detroit Shock Womens NBA basketball team in the horse and carriage. He also won a Nintendo Wii gaming system. He was so excited and so was his dad. I will say he really earned this though. The parade day was at best 20 degrees outside with snow and blowing wind. He was a frozen Popsicle and so was his dad. I would say he worked for that free game system. Savannah was the first to play it since she was the brains behind the operation. I asked Jonah if he thought Miss Oakland County was pretty and he said "I guess, she was really sparkly". How fun is that!
