~~PROJECTS~~

SJ and EM both had to take their projects to school yesterday. They were displayed in the gym while the children K-6 came through and asked questions and sampled the treats. I was lucky enough to be able to attend. They made me very proud.
MR's Creche is finished and 0n display in the hallway. It was very intesting so see all the different ways kids made a Nativity scene.

Visit with Santa

We have a neighbor and his wife that decorate and give gifts to kids! They have done it for years! JM really got excited by it all this year. It was fun to see! ST. NICHOLAS visited at church last night as well. We didn't get any photos there...but it was a nice evening!

~~CHRISTMAS PROJECTS~~

SJ and EM had to pick a country and learn about traditions at Christmas in that country. I think they did a good job!
Next week we will make a dessert from that country and take them to school to share with classmates! Never a dull moment around this house!

Beautiful visitor!

We had a "visitor" in our backyard last week. This hawk perched on our berry arbor for long enough for me to get this photo!
A beautiful site to see!

Christmas getting into "FULL SWING"

The kids were in a Christmas program at school on the 2nd of December. Michaela had a small speaking part and the other 2 sang and danced with all 220 kids in K-6. If I remember correctly this is the 38th annual program. It was easy to see a great deal of work was put into this! It was nice to see a real Christmas program. Nativity scene and all! We are blessed to have our kids in such a great school!

The family photo was after the performance and was taken in SF's classroom. Somehow I didn't get a clear photo of EM...but believe me he had the moves!
