Snow day,

Preschool Jack

I was very lucky the last day I helped in Jack's classroom.
  He was class leader (the primary teacher helper). 

This is Jack with his teacher Mrs. Sedivy

Jack is working on a craft project with the assistant teacher, Mrs. Schutts.

On our way, to go sledding...

The weather was so bad, these were all the pictures we got.  We didn't want to take the camera out of the car in the windy, wet snow...

Jack was very proud of his art

Cece was ready to go

Oh, look a picture of me...

....Dave was able to get some outside the car....

But it is just so cold

Christmas Tree Hunting

So this is catching up on all the stuff we did over Christmas.  On the last day of school before Winter break, Dave got off early and we went to get our Christmas tree.  It wasn't raining or very muddy and the kids loved running around the Christmas tree farm in the fresh air.

 I was trying out taking pictures of the kids.  It is easy on cloudy days and cute children!

 It is a good thing Dave always brings his camera tripod when we do this.  We are usually able to get nice family photos while getting the tree.

The tree is all loaded up ready to go!

Gingerbread house

This was a fun activity we did during Christmas break.  We got a gingerbread kit and decorated it with Cece's friend Julissa.  The legs of the gingerbread men broke off so we made them to sit by the tree.
