The Fun House: My Little Champion!

My Little Champion!

A very exciting night here--it was the all-school spelling bee and Patrick won! It was pretty cool because he is only in fifth grade and he beat out all those much older kids (eighth graders!)

He is following in his brother's footsteps--Andy won the all-school bee four years in a row!

Here he is before the bee started:

And after (with his posse)!

With his trophies!

Can you tell he's excited!?!

Please join Candid Carrie for lots of Phriday Foto fun!!
