November/December 2011

Some pictures from November and December...


A trip to the aquarium with Katie and Nolan
It was hard to get a picture of all the kids...here's my best one.

Waiting for the dolphin show

I thought Gwen looked like such a natural with her little sister :)

Jellies! Picture by Sonja

Penguins...Nolan and Naomi both fell asleep so the girls got to play!


Decorating the tree. We had a lot of fun this year by not putting on any of the breakable ornaments and letting the girls take control. They switched the ornaments around a lot throughout the month.



Our advent calendar. I found this old bottle crate in my parents attic and realized it had 24 spots in it...perfect for an advent calendar! I found the numbers online. They were intended for 3 in. x 3 in. boxes but were the perfect size for this. Unfortunately and I have apologized to the girls...I failed this year on the advent calendar front. Half of the days they had to remind me throughout the day to put the note or special treat in there. Oops :) At least it looked cute and helped them know how many days there were until Christmas!

Some new ornaments that belonged to my Grandma.

Sonja's Christmas program at Preschool

Decorating their Gingerbread house. They decided to do one together instead of each doing their own this year.

Sonja spent a lot of time putting all those little pieces of candy around the outside of the house.

Lucia! Sonja was excited that she could be in it this year with Gwen.
