Kindergarten show and tell

What has kindergarten show and tell come to? Last Friday Ella came home with a small brown paper sack and instructions that she would be having show and tell on Monday's and she needed to put her item in the small sack. She chose a small shinny polished blue rock and placed it in her bag. Later we realized that Monday was MLK day and there was no school. I was just excited we remember to put it in her backpack and told her to keep it there until the following Monday and we were going to be prepared. Yeah check that off of the list of things to remember! She came home today and said to me she just wasn't sure about bringing her rock. She then explained to me about all of the other things the kids had brought in. Of course the one over achiever parent also came in and did show in tell with his child. I am certain none of that stuff fit in the small brown bag! Well then Ella asked me if we could just make a blanket. Then she asked me what day it was. I told her it was Tues. Then she replied, "I guess we better get started!."

REALLY!?!?!

Family Christmas Party

We had the family party at our house this year. We ate lots of yummy food, played minute to win it, and did the nativity. The kids also go to build their own sleigh out of candy and then they raced them.

Snowflakes anyone? Ella made snowflakes and opened up a snowflake store!

Weston plays Santa

Weston got to play Santa outside of CMI. He got paid for standing out front of the store dancing and waving customers in to ship their packages.

Santa Clause!

Ella asked for an American girl doll and boots from the Wear. She was very nervous that she would forget what she wanted. While we stood in line she kept asking if I would help her. Oh how I love the sweet innocence and excitement!

Decorating the Christmas tree!

This year we didn't have enough time to go and cut down a live tree so we set up our artificial tree. The kids wanted to draw to see who could put the star on the tree and Wyatt was the winner! I have to laugh when I see the picture of Brent and I.

Thanksgiving 2011

We enjoy getting to go up to Eagar. Thanksgiving was a lot of fun getting to see cousins and aunts, uncles and grandma. The kids played, we went to the movies, made flarp, did a little clean up, and made Christmas crafts. We really had a good time!

Young Women in Excellence

I have been put in as young women's president and feel very overwhelmed! We just had our young women in excellence. It was about "Who" Believes and then we discussed testimonies. Each girl displayed their testimony next to their projects and each started with I believe. These super cute owl cupcakes were our desserts. We also gave the girls cute notebooks that each Sunday after the lesson they get a few minutes to write something that happened that week to strengthened their testimony. We will put their typed up testimonies in their testimony journals and then they can take them home at the end of next year and display them for next years Young Women in Excellence.

Drawing names for Christmas

Every year the kids draw each others names for Christmas. A fun family tradition!
