Robotics`

This was Preston's second year on the Robotics Team. He and his fellow Cybercats worked really hard. They even got a trophy for "Team Spirit". They were differently one of the loudest teams there.

Christmas Family Home Evening

Every year we spend one night (usually a Monday night for FHE) and we decorate cookies. This year we decorated a gingerbread house. We also made Christmas ornaments with different pictures of the life of Jesus Christ on them. It was a great activity!

**Only problem was we woke up the next morning to our gingerbread house covered with ANTS!

How cute am I??

One day I told Emma how cute she looked........she had her hands on her face just like this picture of Kirsten. Kirsten obviously heard me say that and so she made this face. I couldn't resist taking this picture.
**As a side note: Emma now thinks that every time she wants something she just needs to put her hands on her face like this and smile. She hasn't figured out yet that I don't fall for it.

Say Cheese..................

This is my attempt at taking pictures of the kids for our family Christmas card. For some reason the pictures I pictured in my head turned out so much better. But at least I have these pictures to look back on.

Thanksgiving Break Projects

Kirsten wanted to learn how to help me make baby hats.

Mondel worked on a puzzle with the girls.

What is going on??

I have no idea what was going on and I didn't take this picture. With that said, I couldn't resist not including this picture. This picture truly captures Kirsten on so many levels!

Nativity

The kids enjoyed creating their own Nativity with stuffed animals. These are the pictures they took:

Emma, helping Mondel load the pellet stove.
This was our new toy this winter.
We really enjoyed how warm and cozy it kept the house.

The above picture quite simply makes me SMILE!

Seussical Jr.

Marin was in the choral group for
Red Bank's production of Seussical Jr.
It was really cute, funny, and short!
All things I look for in a school play.
Well Done!!!

Pumpkin Patch

Kirsten's Kindergarten class went the the pumpkin patch. It was such a great to go with her. All of the kids were so excited to ride the school bus. They really enjoyed the hayride, suspension bridge, story-time, and hike to Peter Rabbit's house.

These are Kirsten's classmates.


Here's a picture of Mrs. D. She was Kirsten's long-term substitute teacher while Mrs. B. was on maternity leave.



Kirsten and her friend Katelynn.


As you can see by the jacket it was a little cool out, but that didn't stop the kids from having FUN!
