A Sand Castle Birthday Celebration for a Friend

This weekend, Jessica and Jamison had a sleepover near the beach for their friend's birthday party.  After a fun sleepover night, the girls were ready for a sand castle building adventure!



At first, Jamison enjoyed playing in the water and looking for sea shells.





Jessica was really interested in building a real sand castle.


The girls had lots of fun carving their creations.



Building the moat was also a really fun job.




Building sand castles was a blast!


Jamison is back to school

After Winter Break, Jamison enjoyed going back to school in early January.  At school, she has been working on writing and patterns.



She also made herself a cape for being a Super Reader.

Christmas Gifts form Aunty Jenny and Uncle Brent

Jessica and Jamison were thrilled with the Christmas gifts they got from Jenny and Brent. And, yes, that is a super large Beanie Boo!


Meet Lenny

Our family just welcomed a new kitten into the house.  We rescued him from an adoption agency.  His name is Lenny.




The Girls are Off to Their Piano Party

Every year, our piano teacher holds a holiday party where the kids play music and enjoy treats.  The girls loved getting all dressed up for their celebration.


Winter Concerts

Before Winter Break, the girls sang in Winter Concerts at their school.




Jamison's Half Birthday Celebration at School

In December, Jamison had a 1/2 birthday celebration at school since her birthday lands in the summer.   Everyone in Kindergarten enjoyed a special birthday snack.




Ice Skating Fun

Back in December, Jessica and a friend had fun ice skating.


Jamison also had fun ice skating.


A Girl Scout Trip to the Nutcracker

In December, Jessica's Girl Scout troop went to see the Nutcracker.  Before the show, the girls got a behind the scenes tour.  Here are some photos from the photo booth station.






Jamison at School in December

Jamison loves Kindergarten.  Morning meeting is always fun and she enjoys playing different games.  Here she is trying to match a person to a shoe so she can say "Good Morning" to them.



This month she learned about Hanukkah from a friend's Family Share. She enjoyed the games and treats!



They are also learning about feelings right now in Kindergarten.  Is she sad or mad?


She's also working on writing and reading.





The holiday party before Winter Break was also really fun.
