Christmas CoOp program

                  Izzy's class/choir

Hunter and Ethan's class/choir

 

They did a great job....the music was beautiful.

Gingerbread houses

Making gingerbread houses....can you tell Ethan licked the red frosting?

Telemarketers?

No, not telemarketers but everytime I see them like this it makes me think of that.

This year for school they each have their own computer. They love it and are doing so well!

The Nutcracker ballet

Izzy and her friend waiting patiently for the show to begin

Sugar Plum fairy

Flower ballerinas

Beautiful dancers

The girls really enjoyed the ballet. It was very beautiful and well done. There was

a dreamy white dog that had pulled a sleigh in the show and the girls even got to

meet and pet him. We went out for ice cream following the show.

It was a great time. I love having a girl!

Eat Beef, Not Turkey

 First of all, I have nothing against eating turkey....just wanted an interesting post title. On Thanksgiving day, we had my family here for a Thanksgiving meal. We did not eat the traditional turkey instead we had beef brisket which is much easier to make....so of course this is why I chose it.

 Izzy and Ethan enjoying their meal.

I think the only thing Aiden ate was jello....not a big eater. He's too busy.

The family

We also had a Thanksgiving meal with Reed's side of the family.

Again, no turkey but that is fine with me...not a big fan.

The highlight is always the Bingo game following dinner.

 Let me tell ya, the prizes are very exciting.

 Bingo cards....ready to go

Great Grandma

Father and daughter bonding over Bingo

I am pretty sure she is a Sanguine personality :)

As I said earlier, the prizes are quite exciting....candy, socks, and this year thanks to my husband, a good

old fashioned whoopie cushion. Hunter knew which gift it was and purposely chose it. His first attempt

at sitting on it actually made it break...therefore the duct tape. Still worked. Oh joy!

Hunter had quite the night....he ended up being the grand prize Bingo winner! He got this and

also a box of chocolates.



Apple Pickin'

A few weeks ago we spent an afternoon picking apples with friends.
Perfect activity to begin the Fall season....the best part was eating
the delicious apple dessert for dinner that night!

Little Eden Highlights

This was Izzy's third outfit in the first hours after arriving at camp. I was

not a happy camper.

This is where Izzy got so wet and muddy...spending time in the creek with the girls.

Fishing boat full of boys.....and one brave uncle

lots of tubin'

Craft shop

Ethan and Hunter played in the shuffleboard tournament.

In their first match they won against an older couple.

In the championship match, they lost by a narrow margin

 to some boys about their same age.

It was quite exciting...they had the crowd watching them instead of

the volleyball game. What they've never seen excessive celebration

and fist pumping in a shuffleboard match before? ha!

Frog race....Ethan and Simon trying to get their frogs to jump!

Love these boys

Sand turtle

Another great time at Little Eden!
