2013 Christmas Play

Aurora was a part of the Christmas Play this weekend! The children worked hard to make the show a special one! The premise of the play is that the children are preparing for their dress rehearsal of the Christmas Pageant, but the wrong costumes have been delivered! They have to improvise and make it work.  Aurora was cast as a Wise Man, that happen to also be cowboys. 

The Cast list

The play was a very precious one! I hope you enjoy the clips that I got, I am trying to also upload some longer ones so you can see the whole (well most of, before the cards ran out of space) play.

Christmas is getting closer

Aurora has been writing Christmas card greetings. She worked hard on them! 

"Dear Santa. Will you give me an elf. Not a trouble maker" 

I gave in. Meet "hider "our hide and seek elf.

Holidays are happening!

We're having a great holiday time! To kick off Thanksgiving we went to a gingerbread house class!! 

Aurora was excited, but got a little discouraged when the icing was hard to use. 

Once that was worked out she was much happier! 

So we iced the noses of the girls, and made them reindeer! 

The houses turned out super cute!! 

Best friends are hard to find.

So keep them close!

Is it too Early to shop for Christmas?

I don't think so! I have been talking to Aurora about her wish lists! I'm trying to keep this updated as much as possible - she is a very diverse kiddo!
here is the link to her amazon list: http://amzn.com/w/30Y983U543UN6

She likes Wolves, Tigers, Snakes, and Dragons. 

She wears size 5/6, and frequently refuses to wear pink, flowers, or 'cute' things. (pajamas are an exception to that rule - they can be any print, but she likes long pants, and sleeves, and fuzzy ones!)

Her shoes must be fast, and should be size 12 or 13. 

She is learning to read, and likes books that she can have success reading alone, like the Dick and Jane repetitive series, BOB books, and other 'sight word' books. 

Her art desk is overflowing from her birthday, paints and markers and crayons galore!

She likes super heroes, especially bat man (and all attempts to sway her towards wonder woman, super girl, and bat girl are thwarted!) She likes the fantastic 4, Marvel heroes, and Justice League.

Board games are appreciated. We don't have Trouble, or Sorry, or Kerplunk. 

Happy (quickly approaching) Holidays everyone!

Pumpkin carving

I love Halloween! Aurora loves wolves! She picked and carved this design with only a little help! A

Trick or Treat.

Aurora and Jonah trick or treating

With a last minute wardrobe change, Aurora went trick or treating as a cowboy! 

She had a very busy day at school, carving a pumpkin and having a party. 

She spent a good bit of the day practicing her hat twirl, and yelling "howdy partner!"

At an event earlier in the week she was batman for the last time :)

Hey, I'm more likely to remember to post photos and update more frequently when I get responses (comments and replies), or phone calls... Keep it in mind. 

Pumpkin picking

Hello everyone. I've been slow to post, sorry. Life is busy around here! Like 7 days a week, scheduling things 6 weeks in advance, what day is it now busy!!! (Also, I post from my phone and sometimes timely pats fail to go through.)

Aurora is doing great! She got her report card today (kindergarten progress report) and is doing wonderfully! She met all goals except "completes work in a timely manner"... Go figure. Pretty sure that one doesn't come from me.

Aurora has decided to be batman doctor for Halloween. That would be Batman who carries the sonic screwdriver from Dr. Who. 

We have been to the pumpkin patch 3 times, I love fall!! We will be carving pumpkins this weekend. That's a big deal around here! 

School Pictures were last week. She says she smiled, I sure hope so. 

First Roller Skating

I wanted to share with you Aurora's first trip to the skating rink. She had a really great time. Check it out. 

Halloween is coming up

And Aurora is ready! 

She's planning to be a Wonder Woman, Batman, Doctor Who. It will be interesting. 

Hey- we love hearing from you. Give us a call, drop us a line... Talk to you soon
