Christmas cookies

Ellie was hard at work with her number one fan intently watching.

And here's half of our results.

I realize hearts aren't usually in Christmas cookies, but you use what you have. :)

Ellie's Couplet

Ellie's assignment in Language Arts today was to write a couplet. She wrote about two of her teddy bears.

I have a little lady bug.

When I hug her, I feel snug.

I have a little bumble bee.

She keeps me nice and cozy.

St. Nicholas Day 2013

We celebrated St. Nicholas Day at my mom's care center. It was beautifully decorated for Christmas.

I went before the kids and set up with Mom.

I got what is one of the best recent pics of my mom when we were done decorating.

Mom with the hat I knit her.

The kids were happy, too.

Crazy hair

It was crazy hair day at Adventure Club. Some kids wore wigs. We just used some gel and a hair dryer.

Tracing Fun

I can remember using this tracing book when I was in fourth grade. Each page has something new you can trace... face shape, eyes, nose, mouth, hair, body, earrings, etc... I took it out the other day and Ellie had some fun.

She picked the items for this picture, but I did the tracing.

This one she did all on her own.

When Ellie Takes the Camera

Ellie occasionally asks to take photos. Here's a couple that I found.
