Happy New Year 2016

Family came for a visit so we celebrated the New Year together!

Thanks, Netflix for the kid countdown option. Our midnight was at 10pm. 

Merry Christmas 2015

We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! We did even if it was unseasonably warm. :)

We did our Christmas Eve traditions 

Then Santa came!

Then we joined friends for a Christmas night fiesta 

Gymnastics for C

C and I tried out a parent tot gymnastics class on base. I also like to call it ninja training. I thought he would love it but an activity where he cannot do whatever he wants is not well received. (sigh) Maybe when he matures a bit we can try again. 

One of his favorites was hanging on the bar or rings. He's strong!

There was also a lot of pouting and tantrums when he didn't get to do what he wanted. 

I think it may have been more work for me. I was glad we only tried 2 classes. 

3rd Grade Christmas Program

Life happens and the blogging doesn't. I've been so busy and my laptop is just a pain to use. 

A&E had their 3rd grade Christmas program today. They took their parts very seriously!

3rd grade, here we come

A&E were excited about starting 3rd grade. This is the first year they will be in separate classes. I admit I was probably more nervous than them because now I have two teachers to stay in contact with and I know the homework will sometimes vary depending on the teacher. I cannot believe I have 3rd graders. It just seems so old!

2nd Grade Favorites

It's never too late for a blog post, right?  On the eve of starting 3rd grade, these were A&E's favorite things from 2nd grade!
