December Eighth

On the eighth day of Christmas, we had a pajama day with the book box!

 Look where our silly elf Chris was hiding!

 Our Amaryllis is growing tall!

 

 A bit of school work!

 I was letting the snails "exercise" :)

We made some cute little decorations!

Family Pictures and Santa Pictures!

  

 Family pictures, real ones!  For the first time since...  2007?  That can't be right... Oh well, they turned out GREAT!

 Our visit with Santa went great, he was so kind and friendly!  The girls asked for walkie-talkies to share.  :)

December Seventh

 On the seventh day of Christmas... :)  We did some school work, a fun ABC train track coloring page and Abby was even able to do some of the decoding sight words and even wrote some of the letters!  Selena did a dot-to-dot up to 150(!) and a color by number.

 

 

We also had family pictures and pictures with Santa (those will be the next post!)

December Sixth

On the sixth day of Christmas we had a snuggle day!  And an ice skating hockey day! And a fun little school work time!

 

December Fifth

On the fifth day of Christmas.... We got to take Abby to her check up appointment (all is well, she is an exceptional child, well of course she is!), then we went to JUMP AND BOUNCE!  This was our first time since they added the tube toy.  The girls had such a good time!

 

 We were also ready to do our letter writing.  Yay Selena!  

 Chris was hanging out in the new gingerbread village, so we put the letter with him to go on to the North Pole!

December Fourth

On the forth day of December our elf got into a bit of trouble... 

 We woke up to find him making a "snow angel" in the powdered sugar!

 Our activity for the day was to make a gingerbread village.  We had a lot of fun decorating the little houses and church!

First Piano Lesson

Selena started her first piano lesson on November 30th.  She was a bit overwhelmed.  I guess I should have talked to her about how lessons work, she thought she had to get through the whole book in one lesson!  WOW, oops!  After the explanation, she seemed to be a lot better.  A family friend is teaching her, and I think the arrangement is going to work out really well.  Thanks Rachel!
Also, just having the keyboard in the house has inspired me to try to relearn the piano from the lessons I took when I was little.  I'm really enjoying it, and am almost as good as I was after my lessons :).
